I love that the Goddard School calendar lists McDonald's Lunch as an activity for a day. No matter what your opinion of that particular fast food chain, I love the concept.
Imagine if you did a theme week on China and to top off the week you had "Chinese Restaurant" on the calendar? Or you ended a week learning about Mexico with a visit to an authentic "Mexican Restaurant." Imagine how excited the kids would be?
If money's tight for you and you can only swing one meal out a month, why not make it a reward for learning over the summer? Or look for a kiosk from that country at your local farmer's market or mall, where the prices would be cheaper than a sit-down dinner. And if you can't eat out, get cookbooks from your library or look up recipes online and have the kids help make an authentic dish or dessert from that country.
You could probably fill your entire summer doing one country a week. I have other things I want to focus on, so we'll probably just learn a little about two or three countries. But as much as my kids love visiting the local Chinese restaurant, I bet they'd be willing to do some learning.
