Celebrating Cambodia

There are over 16 million people that live in Cambodia. Inspire your students to learn about these millions of people and their rich cultural history.

As a class, find Cambodia on a map and walk through some of its prominent landmarks, cultural practices and history to give everyone basic context of the country.

Next, have your students choose one aspect of Cambodia and explore it in depth through independent research. Some ideas for research could be Cambodian language, food or art.

Once everyone has researched their topic, have them create a colorful poster that showcases the country. Let your students decorate their poster with Cambodian colors, pictures they’ve found online or found objects that represent the country’s culture!

One by one, have students present their topic to the class. You can even play Cambodian music to set a backdrop to the presentation. Once everyone’s done, lead a group discussion on what stood out to them about the country and what they would still like to learn.
