Personalised Geography "Passports"

In 2007 I used a wonderful curriculum called  "Galloping the Globe" with my younger children to give them an overview of world geography, and to whet their appetites for history, before we began a more indepth history study. I wanted some fun ways to make our journey special, and so I created individualised passports for each of my children. These passports feature a page for each country listed in the Galloping the Globe manual, and as we "visit" (study) each country, I stamp the children's passports on the page for that country. However, these passports are not specific to GTG, and so could be used with any curriculum or unit studies, as you can add or subtract pages for countries to suit your own plans.

I live in New Zealand, so our passports have a NZ cover. Included in the e-files for making these passports are an alternative U.S cover, as well as a Galloping the Globe cover. If you are from another country, or would rather have a different cover, it is very simple to create your own, and I tell you how.

You could, of course, create your own passport pages yourself from scratch. But, there are hours of work involved in doing so, and why re-invent the wheel? If you're a busy homeschooling mother like me, time is something you don't have much of! So, I'm thrilled to be able to provide you with all the pages for your own passport, at a very low cost, ready to print, along with all the instructions you need for how to do so. Of course, you'll still need to create your own personalised insert pages for each child, but I show you ours as an example. 

Alternatively, if you prefer, I am able to make the passports for you, personalised with your own children's details.

Customer comments:

Oh I gotta give a BIG shout-out for Cynthia's passports!!!! :-)
This passport is *so* awesome (well crafted & just beautiful.) It's a keepsake / traveling souvenir all by itself! 
My daughter loved that it came from NZ

The passport arrived! It's fabulous and I have a great picture of Dylan opening it with his big smile. He was even excited to see the stamp postage from New Zealand and is keeping the envelope ;)

Personalised Geography "Passports"

Passport coverI printed the passport covers on a blue light cardstock, then covered them with clear  plastic adhesive book covering material. Covers can be modified for whichever country you are from.
Passport first page
Right: Each passport has a personalised first page with the child's photo and details based upon what is found in a real passport - Issuing State, Passport #, Full name, Nationality, Date of Birth, Sex, Place of Birth, Date of Issue and Expiry Date. In this photo I've blanked out some              
                                                 personal details. This page is                                                 printed on a heavy white paper.

Passports Asia


The main pages are divided by the continental region they belong to. At the beginning of each continental section, there is a page like this one saying "Entering the continent of...." along with the name, and an outline map of the continent. On this page, you can see the stamp we used, made from a self-inking stamp kit to create our own personal "visa stamp". This stamp will not appear on the passport. There is space to write in the date by hand if you prefer.
Passport pages



The rest of the pages are similar to this one - one country per page, with the flag of the country and space to write the date visited or studied.
