The Putumayo World Music multicultural book is a game book, coloring book, learning book and includes Putumayo children's music CD World Playground.
The entire book is filled with country, culture and music information in English.

There are also activities of a musical nature and ideas to imitate.
For example: Play the song on the CD I have got the Music in Me... Three little birds.

Find Jamaica on the map in the book and discuss what it is like in the tropics.
How do people feel when they spend their time in a warm, sunny place by the water?
Hand on the paper, draw your fantasies on one half of the paper and on the other half how you feel with this song.

Some children will write poems or feelings and ideas that they feel when they hear them.
Allow the children to talk about what their pictures express. What moods do the images reflect and why?

As a further idea, the children could discuss the lyrics of the song and its connection to Jamaican culture or other cultures.
Then the children could paint tropical wallpaper for the room.
Finally, a test on tropical fruits would be interesting.
Who knows tropical fruits? How do the fruits taste and what do the fruits look like?
