Don't have time to plan an intense field trip or the funds to go out of the school building? Then look to the Culture Boxes that have been developed by Meridian International Center. These boxes come packed with artifacts that help students to learn more about a culture in a hands-on manner. There are 47 boxes that span all continents, major countries and regions of the world. Each box has different items that are endemic to that area of the world. You can find currency, clothing, non-perishable food, instruments, DVDs, dolls, music, magazines, maps and other items that help students to get a "feel" for a different culture. 
These boxes can be rented free of charge for two weeks if you are a DC public school teacher (charters are of course included). Just email to find out more information and get started exploring the world while still in your classroom.
