Introduction
Welcome to The Family Years – Around the World Homeschool Unit Study! This FREE literature-based unit study combines Geography, Language Arts, Social Studies, and Art to introduce students to 16 different countries and cultures around the world. Designed for early elementary aged students from 1st grade through 3rd grade, students will be enthralled with the colorful diversity of each country explored through books, videos, recipes, and activities.
The unit study is designed to delve into one country per week for an entire semester. At this pace, it will take approximately 18 weeks to complete. As with the other free homeschooling unit studies offered on our site, you are encouraged to go at your own pace, but a 4-day curriculum example is included with each section.
The Around the World Homeschool Unit Study uses two world atlases, the National Geographic Kids Beginner’s World Atlas and the Lonely Planet Kids Amazing World Atlas.
We would also recommend having a world map or globe on hand for daily use. We used the LeapFrog Magic Adventures Globe, Tot Talk Explore the World Placemat, and Evan Moor The World Reference Maps and Forms.
For each country, we also created a fact sheet that included the name of the country being studied that week, the continent where it was located, the country’s capital, population, currency, and languages spoken. Then the flag for the country was drawn and colored.
Along with these resources, there are 34 story books used in the Around the World Unit Study curriculum and 8 read-aloud chapter books to further engage your students. These books can be purchased from the links below or check your local library for titles that you may not be interested in purchasing at this time. It is not required to do the countries in the order listed, but it is recommended that you do the countries in the same continent together.
We are excited that you have chosen to learn alongside us and hope you and your family enjoy your trip around the world! Bon voyage!

FAQ

The Around the World unit study covers all 7 continents and 16 different countries and cultures. The countries included are the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, France, Italy, Norway, Morocco, Kenya, South Africa, China, Japan, India, and Australia.
How long does the unit study take to complete?
Our unit studies are designed to be self-paced, but when covering one section per week, the Around the World unit study should take about 18 weeks to complete.
What age range is best for the Around the World unit study?
The Around the World unit study was created for students in 1st through 3rd grade, so roughly ages six through nine. However, we think children of all ages will enjoy the fascinating picture books and engaging read-aloud stories included in this free homeschooling unit study.
Do you have to buy ALL the recommended books?
The short answer is no. While the books included in this unit study are a fantastic addition to your home library, it is not necessary to buy every book. To save money, check your local library and see what is available to borrow or consider purchasing the books secondhand.
We would highly recommend purchasing both of the world atlases though, since they are used each week.
Are the read-aloud stories worth including?
Absolutely. While the picture books are a fun and quick way to delve into each country, these particular read-aloud stories were handpicked for a reason. Each book contains a wonderful message and better emphasizes what life was like in each country during a specific time period.
