In addition to the printables
that can be used for any
country study, I make
additional sheets for specific
countries ~ mapping activities
and flag notebooking sheets
{and sometimes more!}.

Our studies of Asia included units on the following
countries:

  • China
  • India
  • Israel
  • Japan
  • Korea
  • Russia {also part of Europe}

Below I have included links to the printables for each
country as well as links for our favorite books and
resources, along with blog posts that provide our
weekly study schedule and some great websites to
help you in your study of that country.
Our studies of China were kicked off by a lapbook on the summer Olympics.
After a week we spent two weeks learning about China. We had fun writing
our name in Chinese, reading the Story of Ping, learning about Mt. Everest
and the Great Wall of China, making egg drop soup, and learning about
many different missionaries: Jeanette Li, Eric Liddell, Hudson Taylor, Gladys
Alward, Lottie Moon, and Isobel Kuhn. We then wrapped up our study by
doing a unit on pandas. If you'd like to see more detailed blog posts with
day-by-day plans and additional links/resources, here are the links:

One of the books that we really enjoyed using during our study of Israel
was
Welcome to Israel! We learned about Israel's flag, prayer shawls {since
the design of the flag is similar to prayer shawl designs}, the geography of
Israel, took some wonderful virtual tours of Israel, learned about Israeli
currency, and ended our tour by putting together a yummy meal of baked
felafel sandwiches.

Russia was our cross-over country study ~ bridging the transition between
our study of Asia and the beginning of our study of Europe, since the
country is partly on both continents.

We spent time listening to a lot of classical music, learned about ballet, took
some virtual tours of the country, studied the various geographical features,
currency...and so much more!

We studied Japan for three weeks and had fun with several "hands-on"
activities: origami, watercolors, calligraphy, puppet theatres and Japanese
screens. We also mapped Japan, studied about Japan's flag, learned basic
facts about Japan, talked about the Mon, studied woodcuts/paintings, and
more! Since Japan has over 70 volcanoes, we finished up our country study
by doing a unit on volcanoes and attempting to build a volcano of our own.

Our study of Korea ended up being more focused on South Korea, but we
still had plenty of material to cover. Korean currency, Kimchi pots, Hahoe
mask drama, making a yummy meal of beef tips and rice, and studying
Korean numbers as well as making our own acrostic. We also learned about
the missionary Bob Pierce, talked about Buddhism, looked at pictures of
different temples {taking a 360 virtual tour}, and read some fun books
together.

Our study of India took three weeks since we added on a unit study about
tigers on to the end. During our study of India we learned about the art of
rangoli, {cyber}visited the Taj Mahal, read about the missionaries Hudson
Taylor & Amy Carmichael, learned about the geography of India and at the
end of our study we made an Indian meal ~ chicken curry with Naan bread.
