Learning About Southeast Asia

Here’s a summary of activities for learning about Southeast Asia.

Southeast Asia Map and Flags

This activity is all about familiarization of the Southeast Asia Map and identification of countries which belong to this region.

Learning materials used in this activity:

• Asia in a Nutshell
• Flags of Asia Pack (Nomenclature and Pin Flags)

Southeast Asia LEGO FLAGS

My son is obsessed with LEGO, so I just have to use them to my advantage he he he.  Here we are making flags of some countries in Southeast Asia.  Typically we paint or draw them, but they’re even more beautiful when you make them with LEGOs!



Ah and my favorite of all :)


It’s always a struggle to get things done when you have little Vito around LOL.

Southeast Asia People, Culture, and Lifestyle

We used my homemade materials for this activity and some books that we owned to explore some facts about Southeast Asia.

Learning Materials used in this activity:

• Asia in a Nutshell
• Major Rivers Around the World

Here we read a book about the great rivers in Asia.


The fact cards are very helpful in our study.  Mavi learned a lot from this one, especially about the tsunamis in Indonesia, rice paddies and fruits unique to Southeast Asia.



Shown below is a Philippine flag, a model of the Philippine jeep, a model of bangka (fishing boat in the Philippines) and Philippine Peso play money.  These were sent to us by my sister-in-law. And the books which I purchased from the Philippines a long long time ago.

Southeast Asia Crafts and other Materials

We made a model of a Bahay Kubo!  Read more about it here, Bahay Kubo (Nipa Hut). Surprisingly, I’ve been receiving request as well to post the details of how we made it.  I’ll try my best to post it as soon as possible.


My sister in law also gave us these wonderful collection of Philippine-related materials!



Thank you so much for taking time to read this post. Our next stop is East Asia!
