Overview
What better way to explore the people and cultures of Latin America 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 Latin America.
It is also a fantastic way to learn Spanish!
We here at Reach And Teach have fun just listening to the music and reading the activity guide. Terrific illustrations, fascinating facts, 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.
The Latin Playground Activity Kit journeys to Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Puerto
Rico, Ecuador, Cuba, Uruguay, Venezuela and the USA.

Testimonials:
"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
"The multicultural program is opening doors and connections between our
school and our student's families. We are able to bring the family and school
closer together through the music, activities and multiple languages in the
World Playground and Latin Playground programs. The connections are deeper and
long lasting because of how good the music makes everybody feel."
