Marketplaces Around the World Photo Binder

"Mom, where does our food come from?" Turn that question into a global exploration.

This 16-page photo binder takes elementary students (ages 6-12) through authentic marketplaces on six continents — from spice souks in Morocco to fish markets in Australia. Real photos. Real cultures. Real learning.

Perfect for the elementary years when kids start asking bigger questions about how the world works, how people live differently, and how communities connect through trade.

Inside the binder: 16 marketplace photo pages spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania. Each image captures authentic community life — vendors, goods, architecture, and the vibrant energy of global trade.

For Lower Elementary (6-9): Visual exploration, map work, cultural discussions, and "What do you notice?" observation activities.

For Upper Elementary (9-12): Economics introduction (trade, goods, supply chains), independent research, comparative geography, and global citizenship studies.

Montessori-aligned for cosmic education — designed specifically for the 6-12 stage when children develop understanding of human interdependence.

How to use: Print on standard paper, add to 3-ring binder, and place in your geography center or homeschool shelf. Use for independent work, small group discussions, writing prompts, or economics lessons.
