🔤 Early Literacy

Strengthen sound-letter correspondence (beginning and ending sounds), match capital and small letters, match sounds to objects, identify rhyming words, and sort letters by position. Countries are linked to a focus letter (A for Australia, B for Brazil…).

🗣️ Language, Expression & Imagination

Promotes expressive language by Retelling events, solve riddles, sequence pictures (e.g., monsoon, seasons, gelato scoops), and follow oral instructions. Enhances communication and listening comprehension by describing scenes (e.g., Japan's cherry blossom festival, Brazil's Carnival), build vocabulary, observe details, and infer ideas.

🧮 Math Readiness

Understand and use numbers 1–10 and beyond through cultural contexts (e.g., number jumping like a kangaroo in Australia, backward counting in Peru), ordinal numbers (Italy), patterns, symmetry, and comparisons (more/less, big/small, etc.).

💡 Discovery

Explore seasons, 5 senses, rain cycles, animal habitats, water states, day/night cycles, and more via immersive storytelling and themed settings.

🎨 Creativity & Fine Motor Skills

Complete pictures, draw by instructions, copy from memory, trace, cut, bead, colour by number, and symmetry-based activities themed around global elements—like drawing peacocks in India, water lilies in France, and upside-down clowns in Russia. Introduce famous artists (e.g., Monet, da Vinci), crafts (origami, beading, folding), and cultural crafts (clown masks, Indian rangoli, African jewellery), blending creativity with culture.

🧠 Cognitive Development

Develop Logic & Reasoning skills through classification, odd-one-out, prepositions, what-goes-together, and maze puzzles. Countries often reflect a cultural logic challenge (e.g., mazes in castles in Liechtenstein).
