Details about the Switzerland Adventure Book

‘Are you ready to have the time of your life? We are gonna go adventuring in the picturesque country of Switzerland! This is the country of Swiss chocolate, cheese fondues, and snowy mountains. It’s the land of skiing, the Matterhorn and William Tell, cowbells and alp-horns, plus secret bunkers and hidden cannons from World War II. Grab your passport and let’s go traveling!’

You can use this book as a springboard for your students to delve into a study of Switzerland and its unique history. Switzerland Adventure contains a variety of fun activities, as well as lots of information about the country. 

Your children will learn about the culture of Switzerland, their festivals, traditional dress, landmarks, music and languages. They’ll read about the currency, the cuisine, the animals, and the people.

There are jokes and conversation starters about Switzerland, as well as fun facts: like ‘the Swiss invented Velcro, the zipper, the Swiss army knife, the potato peeler, chocolate, and the bobsled track!’ Your kids will enjoy learning about Swiss Army knives, the bears in Bern, and the Geneva lakes. There are puzzles to complete, pages to learn from and place to explore. Read about the Eiger, the Jungfrau and the Mönch, about Swiss Chalets, cowbells, Alphorns, and yodelling.

You’ll find a fun detailed map of Switzerland, as well as a page with map markers to stick on the map, passport stamps to stick in your kids’ passports, fun stickers and airplane tickets. There are clue cards to solve with special secret codes from the Discovery Agent Fun Pack (which you’ll get as a free download when you buy this book). You’ll decipher hidden messages that tell you more about the country. There are mini books relating to specific history and people from the country. Project pages are where your kids will stick the mini books they complete. These include Ascent of the Matterhorn, Transport in Switzerland, Switzerland and World War II, and Swiss Cheeses.

You’ll end your study of Switzerland with a celebratory Swiss meal where your kids will use the recipes in the book and talk about all they’ve learned. There are some lovely food flags that you can make and use for decorating your Swiss meal!  

At the back of Switzerland Adventure, you’ll find the instructions pages, which tell you how to work through the book.

Switzerland Adventure is designed for your kids to read and work through over 10 days (consecutive or otherwise – your choice).

plus you’ll receive FREE DIGITAL COPIES OF the ACTIVITY PAGES to print for other children in your family; and the Discovery Agent Fun pack with your secret codes for solving clues, passport and more.

Silvan is your tour guide, a boy from Switzerland. “Welcome to my country. I’m Silvan and I live in Geneva, Switzerland. I’ll enjoy showing you around this beautiful place! We have four main languages here, German, French, Italian, and Romansch. In Geneva, we have a beautiful lake that you can cross by boat and see the Jet d’Eau fountain shooting up into the air. I love to go skiing in the snowy mountains in the winter and hiking in the summer.

In Switzerland, we are famous for our awesome quality Swiss watches, our unique Cuckoo Clocks and of course, our delicious cheeses and chocolate. We have the famous wooden chapel bridge in Lucerne and the Matterhorn mountain in Zermatt. Thousands of visitors come each year to experience the magic of our country. I have my own Swiss mountain boots and I love to go climbing with my Papa.”
