My son graduated from preschool last week.
While there’s a flood of emotions that typically surround these types of milestones, I’ve been thinking about other things. Like, what are we going to do all summer?
I could write a whole other post about the ways we plan to spend the summer (lots of lazy days, lots of local trips, a few road trips, and more…) but this is a kids’ travel books website. So it makes sense that I talk about that. Don’t you think?
Introduce the world 1 book at a time with the KTB Read Around the World Summer Challenge. Free 9-page printable. Click To TweetIn preparation for summer, I created this easy and fun summer challenge to read around the world.
What’s included in the Read Around the World Summer Challenge Download?
Here’s the deal. This 9-page printable includes the following:
- Introductory page where the child pledges to read around the world.
- 6 Pages to represent 7 continents. Each page/continent has spots for three books. Write the book, author, date read, and how many stars the child feels the book deserves.
- So this means the challenge is to read 18 books over the course of the summer.
- Upon completion, use the certificate of completion and congratulate your eager explorer!
- A bonus map. Use it to pinpoint the places read during the challenge.

Great idea! I love reading! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I think I’ll try this with my 4.5 year old!
Oh my gosh, this printable is beautiful and such a cool idea! It’s really hard to get kids exposed to books from around the world (either by non-US authors or about people in other countries), so for this former librarian, I’m really excited to see this. Thanks for sharing!
This looks like a fantastic idea. I taught a high school level world lit. class, so this is right up my alley. I would love to introduce my five-year-old to this … but is there a dinosaur from each place? That’s all he wants to read right now! 🙂
Ha ha. That would make an interesting book series.
I love, love, love this idea! I pinned, G+, and scheduled to my Facebook page later in the week. And of course I signed up for your newsletter to get the printables. 😉 What a fun idea for summer, thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it.
This is great! My 6 year old just finished up an around the world curriculum in May. (We are home schoolers.) This would be a great summer activity to keep him engaged. Thank you!
