Truth be told, Paris can be overwhelming! There are so many different things to see and do, it can be a real challenge to focus on preparing children for this trip, especially if you're trying to incorporate Paris highlights into your homeschool lessons. Here are a few different ways to approach a trip to Paris, and it's inclusion in your lesson plans.An Overview of Paris:
Taking Paris as a whole may be best for the 3-5 age group. This sort of study could focus on a few French symbols, French phrases, and sightseeing highlights of the city. In our library, we have the following:
- Everybody Bonjours! by Leslie Kimmelman
- This is Paris by Miroslav Sasek
Some other books fitting for a trip to Paris:
- Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans
- Eloise in Paris by Kay Thomspon, illustrated by Hilary Knight
- Charlotte in Paris by Joan MacPhail Knight, illustrated by Melissa Sweet
Coloring pages related to a destination are great for preparation, or for the car/train/plane ride there. Here are some links for general coloring pages for Paris:
