FUNKAMENTALS
CHALLENGE
The Funkamentals Geography Challenge
is a one-week celebration of learning
centered around the academic themes
of World Geography, History, Culture and Language.
.
The primary challenge is for students to learn
as many of the 196 countries of the world
as possible within the span of the event.
The musical reinforcement is the hip hop song “Worldside”
which contains each country name within its lyrics.
Fun, creative and interactive activities are planned throughout the week
to bring depth to the subject matter
and then the final crescendo is the performance assembly .
.
The overall objective is to help inspire the school-age generation
to be conscious and caring stewards of the earth and our circle of relatives
by expanding the concept of “community member”
to encompass a larger sense of global citizenship.
