I came across a Sesame Street character who serves as a perfect ambassador for introducing young children to geography. Global Grover is a traveling monster who participates in creative activities around the world--such as making tie-dyed t-shirts, flying kites, or playing musical instruments. His clips highlight children from countries like Jamaica, Malaysia, and South Africa.
I wish there was some way to post his videos on this blog, but at this point I can only link. Several of them can be watched on the Sesame Street website here. There is a complete list of episodes here.
WPE volunteers may face cultural barriers when working with their students, and maybe Grover can be a useful tool to expose students to the concept of cultural diversity.
