How to become a member

{Lava lake, Ertale Volcano, Ethiopia}

 

Members of COTW are provided with easy-to-use building blocks to explore a new country each week just as Dave and his family did. Gorgeous country profile sheets, colouring sheets, word searches, recommended videos and so much more are yours with the simple click of a button.

How to get started with Country of the Week

All you need are three simple things

A membership with Country of the week

Every week a new and exciting country will be unlocked for you. You will receive an email notification hinting at your new country and it will bring you back here to discover what adventures and activities await!

An awesome world map

Upon signup, we will supply a list of recommended sources for purchasing your world map (National Geographic ones are our favourites!). Really though, any map will do, provided it accurately shows every country in the world. (You might use a globe or atlas too, but those will probably be less engaging.)

A sign holder

for displaying your weekly country profile sheet beside your awesome world map (optional, but highly recommended). We will suggest a few from places like Office Depot or Staples. The profile sheets are formatted to US Letter size (216 x 269 mm or 8-1/2” x 11”).

What will you receive EVERY week?

Country-specific printable activity sheets including flag and other colouring sheets, country themed word search puzzles, coded letter puzzles, flag matching sheets and more are also included for printing (varies between countries; see these sample sheets on Facebook).

You will also find country specific video recommendations from us linked to YouTube. Occasionally, we will also suggest music to listen to, fun recipes we have discovered or maybe even a movie title with some connection to the country.

We have a lot of ideas about what Country of the Week might become and its potential for positive societal impact. Your participation will support the development of those ideas.

Country of the Week details and overview.

Country of the week profile sheets sample

What will the order of countries be?

The order of the countries has been carefully determined so that you will move all over the world from large countries to small countries, well known countries to lesser known countries, and from one continent to another.

How and what do we receive each week?

You will receive a weekly notification email, a beautiful country profile sheet and other activities for printing and join a passionate community of others on the same adventure. The country profile sheets contain basic country information and a few interesting facts about each country.

What will we actually do each week?

Every week you will find the new country on your world map and have fun with the activity sheets. Over time, the Country Profile Sheets will fill a binder and become one of your children's most prized possessions. You may find your children showing off to friends and family as they locate each country on your map.
