We have done this twice with Great Britain and France and are about to do Italy. We do some language learning, try food, watch a dvd and have the books from the Library for a few weeks. I would like to talk to the local radio show about being interviewed as I would like to get some community input.

would like to make a passport for each of the residents who attend. Any ideas of how to do this, a nice and resourceful way.

Yes, I found a pattern on Pinterest. It gives you the blank template. I made colored copies, cut them out and stapled them together. It looks like a real passport (kind of - haha) and I fill in their information and cut out a picture of them. It comes with some stamps from countries around the world. I copied them, cut them out and each time we do an armchair travel, I pass out the passports (I hold onto them so they don't get lost) and after out activity, I collect them and put the stamp of that country in. The residents like to see how many "countries" they have visited. Very cute idea!!

I've tried this with a globe on a stand, but the ball would work so much better.
