This week the boys are learning 20 countries and their capitals. Most of these countries play some role in World War I. To give them a little incentive I announced that a Willy Wonka chocolate bar would be rewarded to the individuals who could recite all 20 countries and capitals. Joshua promptly memorized all 20. Asher has been working hard to catch up with Joshua and attain said candy.

To help Asher I decided to use an elaborately built train track that he and Joshua spent an hour constructing to help solidify these locations to memory. Each capital and country was written on a post-it and then placed along the train line. Now the trains are stopping in the capitals of all twenty countries.

I'm not sure that I would call that bribery. It's more like a reward system. :) I love your creative thinking. You certainly make learning fun! :)
Ooooo, I LOVE countries/capitals!! What a fun teacher you are!
I am happy to announce that both boys will be getting Wonka bars today :) Asher worked really hard. Next week they are learning the countries and capitals for South America. Thanks for all the encouragement guys! Now if I could just teach Elliana to count past three....
