The Global Explorers Club offers flexible, literature-based geography and cultural studies designed to work across multiple ages and subjects. This guide will walk you through how our curriculum library is organized, what’s included, and different ways you can use our curriculum with your family.

The Global Explorers Curriculum Library gives you online access to our growing collection of country studies, printable resources, lesson plans, mapwork and notebooking activities, hands-on cultural projects, and more.

Inside the library, you’ll find lessons connected to:

• Geography & Culture
• Language Arts, Literature & Folk Tales
• Science
• Art & Music
• Cooking
• Math & Games
• Character Education

New countries and resources are added regularly as the library continues to grow.

Each country page may include a variety of resources depending on the unit study.

Examples include:

• Printable mapwork activities
• Global Explorers Journal pages
• Folk tale lessons and discussion prompts
• Writing activities and sentence strategies
• Science lessons and notebooking pages
• Art and craft projects
• Cooking and cultural activities
• Music and artist studies
• Hands-on games and activities

The Global Explorers Curriculum Library is organized by continent.

Within each continent, you’ll find individual country pages.

Each country page is broken into simple categories to help you quickly find activities and lessons, such as:

• Geography
• Literature & Language Arts
• Creative Arts
• Cooking
• Science
• Math & Games
• Character Education

This makes it easy to either:

• Work through an entire country study
• Pick and choose activities
• Focus on a specific subject area
• Build your own flexible unit study

There is no single “right” way to use Global Explorers.

Some families:

• Explore 1-2 countries per month
• Use the curriculum family-style across multiple ages
• Incorporate the lessons during morning basket time
• Follow rabbit trails based on their child’s interests

At its heart, Global Explorers is designed to help you create fun and memorable learning experiences with your children through books, discussion, exploration, and hands-on activities as you learn more about the world together.

Global Explorers is a literature-based curriculum.

That means our lessons often reference a variety of books, videos, documentaries, recipes, and outside resources that families source independently.

You do not need every recommended resource to use the curriculum successfully.

Many families:

• Borrow books from the library
• Substitute similar books they already own
• Skip activities that don’t fit their family
• Adapt lessons for different ages

That said, if you plan to use Global Explorers over an extended period of time, there are a few books and resources we highly recommend to help you get the most out of the curriculum.

Many lessons include printable downloads.

Simply open the lesson and download the printable resource when available.

Your Global Explorers Curriculum Library will continue to grow throughout the year. New countries, lessons, and printable resources are added regularly.

Current members automatically receive access to new content added to the library during their membership.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, start simple.

Choose:

• One country
• One mapwork activity
• One book or folk tale
• One cultural project

That’s enough.

The goal of Global Explorers is not to “do everything.”

It’s to help families slow down, explore the world together, and create memorable learning experiences through curiosity, connection, and discovery.

As you continue exploring the world with us, you’ll naturally begin to find a rhythm that works for your family. You may begin noticing your children making connections between cultures, stories, geography, science, and the world around them in ways you didn’t expect.

However you choose to use the curriculum, we’re so glad you’re here.
