We have been working on the "Great Journey" since about January, i.e. from the moment when Vlad was one year old. Passing the block general geography, we began to travel around the countries. The son immediately pulled out his favorite kangaroo, and I decided to start from the "end", i.e. from Australia (I was also bribed by the fact that this is the only country on the mainland, and, passing through the continents, for some reason he liked Australia the most). During these six months, in addition to the general geography, we passed Australia, Argentina and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Basically, of course, we used the materials provided in the kit. In addition, they only listened to the anthems of the countries studied, and watched the pictures I downloaded from the Internet (I expanded the list of attractions for each country to 10-12 objects). Australia went very well, albeit with a long break for our move. In April, they started Argentina, as a result, Vladka mastered the plants and animals of these countries quite well, the sights were a little worse - he clearly liked them, but it was difficult to show what and where. When we got to DR Congo, it became clear to me that something was going wrong - interest was steadily declining. Vlada liked sorting through the cards from the animal/plant sets more than listening to some facts about the country. He was very good at drawing on the map with a marker, but he completely refused to complete the tasks, I did it with my hand. And then I read the diaries of mothers-enthusiasts, and realized that we urgently need to change the approach to classes. We returned from vacation, got the coveted suitcase ... so what do we have next? Brazil? Great!

And so, after some of my preparation, on the first of September we went to Brazil!
On the first day (hereinafter, the numbering by days does not mean one calendar day, some of our "days" stretched over two days) spread a map on the floor, turned on my favorite " On the distant Amazon"(Where would we go without it! We then listened to this song all the days before going to Brazil), dragged Vladka a ship, gave out an oar, and commanded: "Let's go to Brazil across the Atlantic Ocean" (and her son loves to jump across the oceans ).

Arrived, disembarked.

Of course, we immediately got to the capital. I said that the government lives there, that it is the most main city in the country, and to the peppy sounds brazilian national anthem we quickly glued the brazilian flag on the screen. At the same time, they repeated geometric shapes (rectangle, rhombus, circle).

Flag in progress 1, Flag in progress 2 (video)
(The question is, dear mothers, how do you manage to work with a child and shoot a video at the same time?! All my attempts failed while I was shooting, the child was doing anything except what I tried to shoot. When I remove the camera, everything goes according to Whether he feels that mom is doing something else, or something ... So in the future there will be mainly photos).
Then they started watching a presentation about Brasilia, along the way slipped cards from " Great trip", marked the borders of Brazil with a marker and found the capital. I immediately said that football is very popular in Brazil. I prepared such a football field,

and offered to play. But Vladka and the cat liked wrapping themselves in organza much more than kicking the ball.

When everyone was full of dung, I removed the fabric, and the football match still took place! To complete the experience, we watched some of the highlights from my favorite match - World Cup final 2002(in this video - 23-24 and 34-36 minutes, respectively) so that Vladya understands exactly what the meaning of the game is.
He was clearly infected by the general mood, enthusiastically looked at the screen, clapped his hands and froze in anticipation of a goal! To consolidate the term, we once again looked at a piece of the sports block from the Yellow Aunt. And then they went out into the street, where they played plenty of football!
The next day, as soon as I suggested to Vlad: "Well, let's go to Brazil?", Vlad nodded his head vigorously, was delighted. (Although now we have the first answer to almost all questions - no). She turned on the hymn, took Vladya in her arms, and began to march rhythmically, bouncing on the strong beat, to develop a sense of rhythm in the child. Oh, how much laughter and fun! I never thought that the hymn is such a fun piece! After listening to the anthem, we repeated the main attractions of Brasilia, and went to Rio de Janeiro. I’ll make a reservation right away that in the course of the game I periodically turned on still pre-watched pieces from here this movie.
Launched a presentation about Rio. Getting acquainted with the statue of Christ the Redeemer, they played enough "hugs" - spread their arms wide, depicting a statue, and then hugged each other tightly, showing how he protects the city.
And when we got to the carnival after the presentation, she offered to make decorations for ourselves and dance. We took out our favorite developing boxes, strung beads, put them on the neck. The creative Vladka also stole dad's jade rosary and tried to make a headdress out of them.

What happened - it happened, and I turned on the incendiary samba. I danced by myself as best I can, Vladka danced, we danced together (I took him in my arms).
One of the options for samba (not the first), until they noticed the camera in the hands of my mother.
It was almost as fun as jumping up and down to the anthem. At this our trip had to be temporarily stopped. I decided not to give everything in one day, but to play in portions, on each subsequent day briefly repeating what I learned on the previous one. There were two reasons for this: 1) in order not to fall out of the sleep-eating-walk mode, and 2) repetition is the mother of learning. And another nuance - when showing presentations, I tried to pay more attention to the pictures than to the text in order to maintain undying interest , and said a lot "from memory", especially where the explanations were quite long.
I’ll make a reservation right away, I have such a nuance when working with presentations. We watch each presentation for the whole week at least five times (in fact, it turned out more). The first time I show only pictures, voicing only the name and the first fact, i.e. definition, I rewind text slides quickly. In each subsequent show, I add one fact to the "voicing", so we fully watch the presentation by the fourth time. Moreover, I don’t particularly press on digital information (sizes, years of construction, and the like - it’s clear that at our age it’s still difficult to learn what “111 meters” and the like are). I divided the long presentations of Rio de Janeiro and nature into two parts, starting from half, each time lengthening the show).
In the days of Rio, we danced not only samba, but also in various ways Ostap Bender's tango "O Rio, Rio", which is also very fond of Vlad.
Day three, Sao Paulo. Briefly, at first they repeated what they had passed, showed Brazil on the map (hooray, hooray, for the first time in all countries the child showed not only where the country is, but also where the capital is, and in addition showed Rio de Janeiro!). We danced the samba, listened to the anthem, which we also danced to, and went to Sao Paulo. We started to watch the presentation for the rest of the anthem, reached the coffee ... then my mother brought different beakers, bottles and cups, took out a bag of specially bought coffee beans, wrote large "Coffee" on a marker board, and it began ...

At first we sniffed it (I liked it), then we began to lay it out in cups. We worked out mathematics on grains, listened to how the grains sound in glass and plastic containers, and even (which was completely unplanned!) tasted the grains! Vladka really liked the taste of coffee, ate 4 grains (we did it at lunchtime, before going to bed ... I fell asleep perfectly).

They laid out a place on the map with coffee beans, where Sao Paulo was, they noted.

Then, when Vladka played enough, we watched the presentation and went outside to sleep... In the evening we watched the presentation about Sao Paulo. When viewing information about the museum, Paulista had already begun to turn away, but when it came to the painting "Independence or Death" by Pedro America, which I inserted for clarity, Vladka immediately perked up and began to poke his finger at the screen. I was glad, after all, it’s not in vain that I arrange a daily acquaintance with painting, after all, to fine arts the child is indifferent. We examined the horses, and this is where our acquaintance with Sao Paulo ended.
Day four, animal world. Traditionally, they danced the samba (actually, every invitation "Have you gone to Brazil?" begins with "In the distant Amazon", but the samba and the anthem are also very fond of). We showed everything we know with our finger on the map, and off we went... I took out a pre-prepared jaguar that had lost its spots. She brought a cup of coffee, and offered to glue the spots. Vladya smeared the jaguar, applied a couple of grains, and began stuffing the rest into his mouth, happily shaking his head and saying "Ku-na!" Barely persuaded to finish the spots. I put a couple more grains, then I decided - why bother here! And poured the whole cup onto the jaguar smeared with glue. He carefully clapped his hand and went to eat the rest

During the day, they watched pieces from the film prepared in advance by me " Unknown Brazil", we recognized the jaguar, capybara and opossum on the cards from The Great Journey. After the film, the capybara rejoices like a native. And the opossum even calls:" Posum ", which is very good for us - it still does not pronounce all animals. We looked at the information about the opossum from "Encyclopedias of the whole planet". At the same time, from the movie "Unknown Brazil" we learned a lot about the birds yabiru and caimans, which was not included in the plan. We watched my mother's presentation halfway, left a little more for tomorrow. We played football very well on the walk. I laugh: "YOU are a real football player!" Vladka looks expectantly. I add: "Brazilian football player!" - nods happily, and runs on to kick the ball
They tried to mold the Lencois-Maranhenses desert from salt dough. But since I made salty dough for the first time, for some reason it turned out to be sticky for me. Vlad with pleasure tinkered with him right in the cup,

and then we made "lagoons" with blue-tinted water. It didn't look very similar, but when we compared the result with the picture, Vladya looked satisfied.

True, after that I mixed the "lagoons" and the "desert" a little more, and handed over my creation to my mother. In general, the idea needs to be improved.
Day five, last. Vegetable world . We watched a presentation about nature and mountains. Looking through information about Botanical Garden Curitibs, took out a card with Amazonian Victoria from MnL "Records of Nature", repeated it. In the evening we watched about orchids from the "Encyclopedia of the whole planet", in addition, I included a presentation about Vietnamese orchids that I had lying around from work
(the fact that they are Vietnamese, not Brazilian, I didn’t tell Vlad, of course). And after that, they painted the orchids prepared in advance by my mother with finger paints. According to the plan, it was necessary to paint them with a brush, and then work out the technique of spraying with a brush, but we, as always, Vladi had his own plan. We painted one orchid with a brush, I painted the second with a brush, holding Vlad's hand in mine, we painted the third orchid with Vlad's foot (he smeared the paint on the leg and put it on the flower, and so several times). I helped a little with smearing and setting, I guided a little. He painted the jungle around on his own, on his own initiative, with his fingers.

We did not live up to the spray with a brush

And for the weekend we went to Moscow (there will be a separate post about this), and there, in the Darwin Museum, we first found South America on the video screen on the first floor (mother twisted the earth with a wave of her hands), and approximately identified where Brazil is,

and on the third floor we carefully examined the showcase with animals South America, and showed many with a finger - those that my mother asked.

Today, after returning, I made the last call to Brazil - they showed Brazil on the map, passed the cities, correctly chose the sights and correctly showed all the animals. Finally, we listened to the anthem, and, of course, presentations. It's time to sail home!
As a result of our journey, in addition to the knowledge gained, our vocabulary was replenished with the words "Brazil" or "Basil", "Samba", "Posum", "Gaaar" (jaguar), "Dede" (orchid), "Booo" (football) , "Dil" (crocodile). All words are pronounced, of course, not as clearly as written, but meaningfully and with reference to specific objects.

Confluence of the rivers "Meeting of the Waters" Confluence of waters is a unique natural phenomenon. At this point, the black waters of the Rio Negro merge with the yellow waters of the Solimões River. And it is after this place on all the maps that the river is called the Amazon. The color of the water is quite simple to explain: Solimões on its way washes out quite a lot of yellow soil, which gives it color, and the Rio Negro flows through more rocky terrain and washes out mostly black rocks that color it.
