So what is Expedition Earth: A Journey Through God’s World?
Expedition Earth is a hands-on world geography curriculum that covers 31 countries across the world. It is designed primarily for Kindergarten-5th grade. Students will learn about the continents, oceans, people, cultures, animals, climates, try new foods, crafts, and more, all through hands-on activities! I used it with my preschooler, 1st grader, and 2nd grader altogether. (My preschooler didn’t do any reports, but she did learn the country names, songs, languages, pray and do all the fun crafts and recipe activities!)
The revised version includes Lap Books for each country, new information, internet links, and books. Here’s a peek at the Teacher’s Manual. It includes everything you need for each lesson including any additional info, internet links, reading assignments, crafts, and recipes for each country as needed. There are 32 weeks of lesson plans, plus a Christmas Around the World Unit. The Teacher’s Manual is outlined for you on a daily basis and even includes a Craft Supply Shopping List for each country just to make your life a little easier!

Printable Passport: No world wide expedition would be complete without a fun souvenir for the students! Expedition Earth comes with a fun printable passport that you can use to stamp for each country visited. I have also included printable flags that can be added to your passport as you travel through.
And as an added bonus, all students participating in Expedition Earth will receive a a commemorative Certificate of Completion once they’ve completed their journey!
Additional Reading: I suggest visiting your local library or doing an internet search for countries that interest your child. They can use these books during their free reading time for a more in depth study! There is an additional reading resource section in the Appendix.
As if that weren’t enough, I also have a FREE animal unit study called Expedition Earth: Discovering God’s Animals. It’s a wonderful supplement for Expedition Earth, and includes animals found in each country, a mini-book, and animal cards. It also includes animal classification labels for an animal wall. Here’s a peek:

And as an added bonus, Maureen Spell from Spell Out Loud made a great Continent Hop Scotch Game to go along with it!
Hope you enjoy learning all about God’s World!
Can anyone share how much it cost for them to have this printed in color? Trying to estimate to see if this fits in our Education Budget. Thank you SO much! 🙂
Hi Meagen, I recommend http://www.thehomeschoolprintingcompany.com they have really affordable printing! Let them know I sent you and they can help 🙂
Hi, we are a secular-based homeschooling family. I was wondering how much of religion is incorporated? I am not opposed to learning about religion or teaching my son Christianity, just curious as to how much is in it!
Thanks so much,
Samantha
There is religious information on each culture as you study through the curriculum. There is also a bullet point to pray for the people of each country as you’re studying it.
Alright, that sounds just fine! This curriculum looks amazing. I cannot find anything else for such fair price and quality materials! Can’t wait to start next week!
Thanks
Samantha
So what if I buy the CD, would I be to just print out pages as needed? Or does everything have to be printed at once??
Hi Denise, yes you can print out whatever you need for your family if you purchase the CD. Same with the download as well.
I have 3 kids, first, second and 6th grade. I’m wondering should I buy one for each of them or should I purchase one and make copies accordingly?
Mrs Erica, I was wondering the green board that has the names of the countries on it, like N. America, S. America, Europe and ect.. what exactly is that kind of board that you used to put the countries names on? I was just wondering I think it’s really nice. I maybe ordering this curriculum next school year for my son. I am using The USA this year. If you made it can you please let me know. If I use this curriculum next year I would like to make one like that. I think it’s very nice. Thanks

Do you have a expedition earth Facebook page?
Sorry, no I don’t have a page just for EE
Hi!
I ordered the Expedition earth entire pack a year or so ago and the dvd with songs never worked in my car, or in my computer…. I was wondering if there’s a way I could get them digitally? It’s been a while and I have been meaning to follow up, we just had a baby a few months back and I finally realized I still needed to get in touch with someone who can help with our situation and faulty cd.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jenna, yes, I will send you an email.
Is there a teachers manual for this?
Yes, it comes with a teacher’s manual, student workbook, and animal wall cards along with lots of extras in the appendix such as quizzes, reports, review games, etc.
Hi! Your youtube video mentions A Trip Around the World and Another Trip Around the World as resources. However, I did not see them listed on the sample resource page. Are they optional? Also, do your lessons reference them?
Thanks!
Hi, the curriculum has been updated and I no longer use those books. At this point you really just need a map/globe and the World Encyclopedia. Everything else is now included in the curriculum 🙂
