Pretend that you are a child living in South Africa. Write a letter to your cousin, who lives in a different country, about South Africa. Include things such as what you love about your country, what you don't like, what you do on a daily basis, what your family is like, how your country was found etc. Share this letter with the class or with a family member.

Choose a season of South Africa, which are all shared under the geography section of this website. Draw a picture of the season on a provided sheet of paper. Your picture can include people, dress, weather, houses etc. After you create your picture, write some of the characteristics of the South African season on the back of your paper. We will share each of our pictures. Then, the pictures will all be put together on the class bulletin board in a collage.
