Barbados is a lovely island in the Caribbean Sea. It’s divided into two main parts called districts, and each district has several smaller areas known as parishes. Let’s explore these districts and parishes to learn about what makes each one special!
The Northern District has six parishes, each with its own unique features:
The Southern District includes five parishes, each with something special to offer:
Barbados is perfectly placed between the North Atlantic Ocean on the right and the Caribbean Sea on the left. This special location not only makes it beautiful but also important for its culture and economy in the region.
Barbados is a vibrant island with a rich mix of parishes that show off its diverse culture and geography. Learning about the Northern and Southern Districts and their parishes helps us understand what makes Barbados such a wonderful place to visit!
Parish Map Exploration: Create your own map of Barbados using colored paper or crayons. Draw the outline of the island and divide it into the Northern and Southern Districts. Label each parish and use different colors to represent each one. As you color, think about what makes each parish special. For example, you might draw waves in Saint Joseph Parish to show its coastal scenery or a sun in Saint James Parish for its sunny beaches.
Parish Postcards: Imagine you are visiting one of the parishes in Barbados. Create a postcard by drawing a picture of something special from that parish on one side. On the other side, write a short message to a friend or family member describing what you see and why you like it. For example, if you choose Saint Lucy Parish, you might draw its natural beauty and write about the charming rural feel.
Parish Matching Game: Create a matching game using index cards. On one set of cards, write the names of the parishes. On another set, write a unique feature or fun fact about each parish. Mix them up and try to match each parish with its feature. You can play this game with a friend or family member to see who can make the most matches!
