Create a board game with a spinner in the middle. The spinner should consist of a pie shape showing several different languages. Have preschoolers sit in a circle around the board and give one child a large die. Allow child to make a spin on the spinner and roll the die. When spinner stops on a language, say the language and ask the child to say the number on the die in the foreign language. For example, if the spinner stops on Spanish and the child rolls a number one, ask the child to say "one" in Spanish. The child can earn a point for saying "uno" or you can utilize this game as a learning opportunity to teach them to count in a new language.
Create a board with a ladder or pathway type of structure. Each step should have a different color and you need to make a spinner with coordinating colors. Limit your color selection to four different colors and use each color for one specific country or continent. You can associate the green steps with the United States, yellow steps with South America, red steps with Mexico and blue steps with Canada. Give each preschooler a game piece and have them all start at the bottom of the ladder or the beginning of the pathway. You may want to have them roll a die to determine which order they will play in. Have the first player spin for a color. If the spinner lands on blue, ask him a question about Canada. Answering correctly allows him to spin again on his next turn. If his answer is incorrect, he has to answer another question about the same country on his next turn. He is stuck on that step until he correctly answers a question. The first player to the top of the ladder wins.
Purchase a world map or draw one on your own. Lay the map out on the floor so your group of preschoolers can maneuver around the map. Find pictures of traditional garb in magazines and cut them out. For example, a picture of a woman in a kimono can represent traditional clothing worn in Japan. Paste the pictures to similar sized pieces of cardboard, to give them some structure. Give each child one or two picture pieces. Have children take turns and allow them to place the picture on the country that matches the person in the picture. They can work in teams or individually, earning points for each correct answer.
Collect small pieces of various religious practices. A dreidel can represent Judaism in Israel, while a small Buddha statue might represent Buddhism in Thailand. Give each child one artifact and have them line up. Using the same map from the previous game, allow each child to place the religious piece on the country where the religion is practiced. Throughout the game, you may want to mention specific highlights about the religion or country. This board game exposes preschoolers to a variety of religious practices and ideas.
