Description

Tea Time Around the World: A 12-Week Christian Cultural Unit Study

Gather your children around the table for a joyful and meaningful journey through twelve unique countries—without ever leaving home. Tea Time Around the World is a beautifully designed, gospel-centered unit study that combines geography, culture, missions, storytelling, and family discipleship into one unforgettable experience.

This 12-week curriculum is perfect for homeschool families, co-op groups, or anyone looking to add depth and delight to their weekly rhythm. Each week focuses on a different country and includes:

✔️ Biblical worldview & missionary highlights – Learn how the gospel has reached (or is still reaching) each region, with a focus on prayer and global missions.
✔️ Traditional tea recipes – Enjoy authentic drinks and snacks from each culture with easy, kid-friendly instructions.
✔️ Country overview & history – Discover key facts, historical events, and cultural customs through engaging, age-appropriate content.
✔️ Folktales and moral stories – Read and reflect on classic tales from around the world, always pointing children back to biblical truth.
✔️ Hands-on games and activities – Play traditional children’s games, make crafts, and explore simple extensions to bring learning to life.
✔️ Custom maps and passport printables – Track your global journey with country-specific coloring maps and a keepsake “passport” for each child.
✔️ Weekly prayer prompts – Cultivate a heart for the nations with guided ways to pray for children and believers in each country.

🌍 From the mountains of Nepal to the tea houses of England, this unit celebrates the creativity of God’s world while keeping Christ at the center. Children will not only expand their knowledge of geography and culture—they’ll also grow in empathy, faith, and a love for others made in God’s image.

Whether you’re sharing tea in your living room or hosting a weekly gathering with friends, Tea Time Around the World makes global learning simple, memorable, and deeply meaningful.
