    I have reviewed Asia Society for Kids and Teaching for Global understanding. There are many wonderful digital resources produced by the  asia society and many things can be found under asiasociet.org hyperlinks. Upon entering the asiasociety website you scroll to the bottom; under the resources section you will find For Kids line, otherwise type this in : http://kids.asiasociety.org/?_ga=2.127131208.491532058.1575631348-1960438133.1575441168

    I found this website to be very compatible with the elementary age group. The 5 tabs available to peruse are : Stories, Arts,Languages,games, explore. It introduces students to a slew of east Asian countries and exposes them to learning different languages sucha as Hindi, Chinese. Further it gives many ideas and articles on customs around the asian world that can easily be used to derive lessons from. one of the games that I enjoyed was the map game where you can expose students to geography. In this game students must put China back together.

    The website also has other links such as lesson plans and other collaborations such as the Teaching for global understanding website under a "for Parents and Teachers" section.  I found the aforementioned website to be a higher level than the age group that I teach, but nevertheless there are various ideas that can be adjusted for the grade that you teach.
