      Brazil has a culture rich with food, people, woven and bright fabrics, music, dancing and beach living. I read to my kids from a wide range of books.

      Watch the Olympics with them and Google about it on the internet together to learn more about the culture.

      My granddaughters and I watch the Olympics together whenever they come to visit or I babysit them. They love the Olympics and it’s a good education on teamwork.

      I really had not thought about using this as a cultural learning experience. Great idea. I will make a meal around this culture and we’ll continue to watch the Olympics.

      We are going to celebrate our own “Brazil Day”, during which we will cook and eat Brazilian foods and learn about Brazilian culture and customs.

      With food of course! A love of good food is common to all cultures, but each has unique flavors. Win-win!
      (and we get to eat too)

      When my kids ask me questions about any place or culture they don’t know about I allow them to do research on the computer.

      By looking at maps and discussing what was shown on television broadcasts of the Olympics, such as the beaches in Brazil. Also, the different sports shown and the various flags were interesting to discuss.
