Feel free to use this printable as a tool to talk more about this amazing place. You can even practice telling each other “Thank you!” and “I love you!” in Dari. Extend and reinforce your family’s learning by also checking out the Children’s Literature about Afghanistan book list.

For older kids/teenagers, here’s a blank printable for them to research about Afghanistan.

Lastly, here’s a picture of the flag of Afghanistan for your children to color. This would be nice to hang up throughout the week as you’re eating Afghan cuisine and learning about the country. It is also a great reminder to pray for the people there.
