Games Around the Globe


We all remember games from our childhood and how much fun we used to have playing with friends. Growing up we didn't need any iPad or tablet  to keep us entertained. It seems such a long time since that happened. I used to play so many games that I can barely remember all the names. 

Globe Trottin' Kids did a good job gathering children's games around the globe, and I am glad to see  familiar names such as Loteria (Spanish) and Rayuela.  

Some of the games are not exactly what I remember from my childhood, however, I always keep in mind that games can have variations depending on the country. 

What I like about Games Around the Globe, is that the directions are easy to follow and each game comes with all the materials need it, including game cards, game boards, dice and more. 


I this 87-pages TPT product you can find 35 games ready to use from 23 different countries. Excellent resource for Social Studies, Summer Activities or Homeschooling. All of that for only $10.00 in Teachers Pay Teachers

If you are interested in adding some language to your games unit, you might be interested in this product as well. Check this post for more info.

Diverse Kid Lit December 3rd, 2016

Our theme for this month's Favorite Holiday Books. (Please feel free to share any holiday resources, not just winter holidays.) The theme is only a suggestion. Diverse posts on alternate topics are always welcome.

What Is #DiverseKidLit?

Diverse Children's Books is a book-sharing meme designed to promote the reading and writing of children's books that feature diverse characters. This community embraces all kinds of diversity including (and certainly not limited to) diverse, inclusive, multicultural, and global books for children of all backgrounds. We encourage everyone who shares to support this blogging community by visiting and leaving comments for at least three others. Please also consider following the hosts on at least one of their social media outlets. Spread the word using #diversekidlit and/or adding our button to your site and your diverse posts.

We hope this community will grow into a great resource for parents, teachers, librarians, publishers, and authors! Our next linkup will be Saturday, January 7th and on the first and third Saturdays of every month.

Upcoming Theme

Our theme for the current linkup is Favorite Holiday Books. Themes are a suggestion only; all diverse book posts are welcome. If you're interested, you can start planning now for our upcoming themes ...
  • January 7th and 21st linkups: Human Rights. In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is celebrated in the US in January, think about your favorite books to share with children about the importance and the history of human rights and/or civil rights.
  • February 4th and 18th linkups: Love. Let's spread the love of diverse books by sharing diverse books about love, families, and relationships. 

Most Clicked Post from Last Time

Our most-clicked post from last time from The Barefoot Mommy: 15 Diverse and Inclusive Books about Christmas. Rebekah includes an overview of each book as well as a downloadable felt ornament craft. The stories showcase a wide range of cultures and countries celebrating Christmas, some focusing on the holiday and others happening around that time. A great place to start for thinking about this linkup's holiday theme!
