What better way to explore the world than with a combination of music, stories and activities?

This award-winning package is perfect for parents, teachers, after-school leaders, faith-based program leaders, and anyone else who wants to spark a child's imagination about the world and help children learn about world cultures.

We here at Reach And Teach have fun just listening to the music and reading the activity guide. Terrific illustrations, fascinating facts about far-off lands, cultural tidbits, and more. It doesn't even feel like learning when you're having this much fun!

than 50 hands-on activities, reproducible pages, "cut, color and paste"
artwork and a Children's Passport Journal.

"World Playground promotes international harmony through engaging music
and exercises that foster an appreciation of our multicultural heritage. I heartily
recommend the netire series for children everywhere - and also for adults!"

Kweisi Mfume, President & Chief Executive Officer, NAACP

"Invaluable! The lesson plans are wonderfully constructed and have endless
applications.. the package is logical and beautiful.. the material is presented
in an upbeat, fun style and encourages a love of learning. The Children�s
Passport Journal is a wonderful way to develop self-awareness in a child as
well. We have been celebrating the uniqueness of each student as well as gaining
a sense of being a citizen of the world."

Teaching artist, THE ALVIN ALLEY SCHOOL

"Feedback from our afterschool program kids and program staff indicates
that the curriculum is easy to use and fun: applicable and supportive of both
academic and artistic needs, easily adaptable to any age group or learning level:
full of inspiring ideas and useful connections to family and community life:
promotes positive values, and brings staff closer together in collaborative
projects. Given the wonderful responses we have received and the great potential
this curriculum has for making learning fun, we have expanded this program to
all of our sites."

Education/Project Director, Soros', THE AFTER SCHOOL CORPORATION

"I must tell you that the World Playground materials and Teacher Training
session has been my refuge since the tragic events on September 11. I play the
optimistic uplifting inspiring songs all day long. It sustains me. Now my students
are able to sing along too. Thank you for inspiration at a time when we so badly
need it. In peace..."
