Materials and Prep

• Pokemon cards or toys
• Pen and paper
• Excitement to learn!

No prior knowledge needed, just be ready to explore and have fun!

Activities

• Choose a Pokemon and research which country it is based on. Find that country on the map or globe!
• Draw a picture of your favorite Pokemon in a traditional outfit from a country of your choice.
• Create your own Pokemon region on paper. What kind of Pokemon would live there? What would the culture be like?

Talking Points

• Pokemon come from different regions, just like how people live in different countries around the world.

  "Just like how Pikachu is from Japan, people also come from different places like the United States or India!"

• Each Pokemon is unique and has its own characteristics, just like how each country has its own language and traditions.

  "Just like how Charmander has a flaming tail, some countries have snowy mountains or beautiful beaches!"

• Exploring different regions in Pokemon games can teach us about the geography and culture of real countries.

  "When we play Pokemon games, we can learn about different places like France or Australia!"
