I am going to be presenting a workshop for my district's annual "educational showcase". My workshop is going to be for elementary teachers. I will be presenting ideas and activities that can be used in k-5 classrooms to help introduce culture and foreign languages. It will not be language specific but general so that any langauge or culture could be used.

I have tons of ideas but I am always looking for new things to add. Any suggestions? If your suggestion is language/culture specific that is fine, I would still love to hear about it.

Some of the things I already have (just to give you an idea where I am going with this...) labels for the classroom themed parties throughout the year labeled calendars bilingual flashcards culture tip of the day recess games inside recess activities coloring sheets dot-to-dots flags to color bilingual books etc etc etc

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks so much.
Andrea Our national holidays, customs and traditions of and why

Teach them age-appropriate idiomatic expressions that reflect our core beliefs as a nation.

Melting pot theory and our diverse ethnic nation of today.

I could easily go on but I would like to wait and see what others put up here first. Good luck, Andrea
