Procedures: Say, “Hafa adai, Welcome to Guam!” Tell the children that’s what a lot of people say to visitors of Guam. Today, we are going to make a welcome brochure for visitors coming to Guam.

Tell the children that many people from other countries come to Guam to visit our beautiful island. For instance, we have many people who come from the country of Japan. These visitors from other countries are called “Tourist”. They learn about Guam through brochures written about our island.

Today, we are going to make that brochure, pass out the different brochures available and have the children cut out their favorite pictures.

Have them tell why they cut out that certain picture. On the cover of the brochure, have each child write the word, “Guam”. After the pictures have been cut out have the children glue it to an 8” x 11” construction paper and staple it.

Variation: Some students may be able to write why they chose their picture.
