Suggestions for Students
·Use the ideas in our Curriculum to help augment your lesson plans in the classroom.
·Use our Reference List to find appropriate books for the age of students you are teaching.
·Use Pictures to help illustrate posters or reports.
·Look on the Internet or in an encyclopedia to find facts about Pakistan and Afghanistan. What would you do if you lived there? What would you eat? Where would you go to school (or would you)? What would your parents do for work?
·Look on a map and find Pakistan and Afghanistan. Find out what kind of money they use and what a penny will buy in that currency.
·Look for stray pennies in your couch, in the car and on the street. Or start a piggy bank at home to collect pennies on your own. 
Think about what you had to give up in order to save those pennies and what those pennies might do for someone in another country.
·Take a field trip to a local bank to see the pennies counted by the coin machine before being translated into a cashier’s check or money order.
·Write to your Congressional Representatives and Senators to urge them to support a foreign aid budget to bring peace and stability to volatile regions. See a sample letter to Congress.
·Have fun while you do these projects! Giving a gift can be as fun as receiving one!
·Be creative and make the Pennies for Peace drive your own!
Thank you for participating in the Pennies for Peace program, we hope that you learn a lot and feel good about helping kids in another part of the world!
