Exploring Africa

This summer, we decided to focus on different cultures and the customs of different countries.  The first place we explored was Africa.  We read the book “We All Went on Safari” and talked about the different holidays, dances, and instruments used in Africa.  For our craft, we made a drum and then played our drums along with an African CD.  Tribal masks were provided as a second activity or take-home activity.  For our snack, we tried plantain chips which are common in certain parts of Africa.  Personally, I think they taste like potato chips but some of the kids disagreed with me.  Check out pics below!
