Using preschool Italy lessons opens up a whole new world to younger children. This lesson will help them to understand where Italy is on a map and what it looks like, as well as what colors are in the Italian flag. We take a look at learning basic Italian words, that you can use in the classroom, or that the children can use to impress their parents at home - ciao mamma! A preschool lesson plan on Italy, would be incomplete without covering the culture of food in Italy. Italian food is popular among young children, and they are likely to be familiar with many of the food already. An interactive activity on making fresh pasta, or a pizza decorated as the Italian flag, is a good way to ensure the children know what goes into making authentic Italian food. How to assess the children's progress and abilities using this lesson plan is also covered, as well as extension activities on Italian art and architecture - try making a model of the leaning tower or Pisa, or create their own Mona Lisa painting.
