We have started receiving in the mail one of the Highlights products - it's called "Top Secret Mission" and it is similar to "Which Way USA" except that you learn about a country instead of a state. (Just for clarification this is an independent assessment . . . Highlights is not using my help to sell their products) The kids LOVE this activity. When we received the first one they were beyond excited and literally sat down for 2 hours and finished the whole thing. The envelope came with a passport and a sheet of stamps that included one stamp for each country. Each time you finish a country, you put the corresponding country stamp on the passport. It also came with a keychain I think, a top secret mission letter, a book containing all kinds of facts about the country, and the puzzle book. When the second one came in the mail, they both yelled loudly with excitement. Here are some pics of the product:
the envelope it all came in (Egypt was the country this time)
the top secret letter instructing them what to do
the fact book and the puzzle book
This product is kind of expensive, but if you have it in the budget and your child likes this kind of thing, I highly recommend it for about age 6 and up. It is a great way to learn about another country, and unlike Which Way USA, this one only comes about every month and a half I think. This coule be a great summer activity, and if you don't like it, just cancel after the summer is over!
Oh my gosh! We got this for our oldest on his birthday. He loved it too and finished it within a couple of days. We got China for the country this time. It's fun for the kids and really educational too, as they have to look up facts in the book which pertain to the clues. I would highly recommend it too!
