🍜 What Are Food and Landmark Stamps?
Some country pages now carry two extra sets of stamps, sitting together after the Play activities.
Food of Japan is a short read about meals, then three dishes to tap. Landmarks of Japan works the same way for places. Each dish and each place has its own stamp. Food stamps ink in orange. Landmark stamps ink in red. Until a child earns one, the stamp stays light on the page, with the name still readable, so they can see what is left to collect.
Food of Japan: read first, then tap a dish and collect the stamp.
Landmarks sit on the same page: Mount Fuji, Fushimi Inari and the Golden Pavilion.
Flags still live in My Flags. The twelve illustrated passport stamps still live in My Passport. Food and landmarks are their own collection, in one book.
The rally is open on a growing set of country pages: Japan, Canada, Brazil, India, Australia, Germany, South Africa, China and Andorra.
📖 Read First, Then Three Questions
The read is on the page, above the stamps. It is short, written for about ages 7 to 12, and it talks about more than the three stamps, so the quiz is something to think about.
Tap a dish, or a landmark, and three questions open. The progress bar shows which question you are on.
Tap Tempura and the first question opens. The answer is in the read, not in the name of the dish.
Children answer from the read. The stamp's name is never the answer.
✅ A Wrong Answer Is Just a Try
Choose a wrong answer and the quiz says Not quite. It shows the pick, marks it with a red cross, and leaves the other choices open. There are no lives, no timer, and no score to lose.
Not quite. The wrong choice stays marked, and you can try another.
The right answer opens a short line that says why, then Next question. On the last one, the button says Stamp it.
🟠 The Date Stays the First Day
Three questions done, and the stamp inks in. Food is orange. Landmarks are red. The date on the stamp is the day it was earned.
The Tempura stamp, inked and dated. Keep the stamp adds it to the book.
Children can open the same quiz again later. The stamp shines, and the date stays the first day. Playing again does not restamp it.
📕 The Countries Stamp Rally Book
Every food stamp and every landmark stamp from the rally goes into one book, the Countries Stamp Rally Book. The cover carries the child's name, and their school name when they have one. Turn the page and each country has its own spread: food and landmarks together, still gray until they are earned, so the words stay easy to read.
The Countries Stamp Rally Book. Food and landmarks, one cover.
Tap a stamp in the book and it opens that country's page at the food section or the landmarks section. A link to the book also sits on the country page, under the language read.
👩🏫 In the Classroom and at Home
The pattern is the same each time: read the short piece, answer three questions, keep the stamp.
In class, one country is enough for a lesson. Read Food of Japan together, then let pairs take a dish each. The landmark read can be the next lesson, or the follow-up at home. Families can do the same from the country page, one stamp at a time.
The questions are written for about ages 7 to 12. They are meant to be fair after the read, and they are meant to need the read.
❓ Food and Landmark Stamp FAQs
What are food and landmark stamps?
They are collectible stamps on selected country pages. Each country in the rally has three food stamps and three landmark stamps. Children earn one by reading a short piece and answering three questions. Food stamps are orange. Landmark stamps are red.
How do you earn a food or landmark stamp?
Open the country page and read the short piece under Food or Landmarks. Tap a dish or a place. Answer the three questions. On the last one, choose Stamp it, then Keep the stamp. The stamp is dated with that day.
What happens if you choose the wrong answer?
The quiz says "Not quite" and marks that choice with a red cross. The other choices stay open. There are no lives, timers, or scores to lose.
Does playing again change the date?
The date stays the day the stamp was first earned. Opening the quiz again shines the stamp. It does not restamp it, and it does not move the date.
Where do the stamps go?
Food and landmark stamps go into the Countries Stamp Rally Book, one book for both. Flags stay in My Flags. The twelve passport stamps stay in My Passport.
Who are the stamps for?
They are written for primary school students aged about 7 to 12. Teachers can use a country's food or landmarks to start or finish a topic, and families can collect them at home with a Can Do Kids Worldwide account.
Ready to keep a stamp?
Open a country, read about its food or its places, and start a stamp rally book.
Classroom Activity Idea
Open one country in the stamp rally, such as Japan. Read the short food piece together, then let students earn one food stamp in pairs. Afterwards they should be ready to say:
- What did you learn about food in that country before you tapped a dish?
- Which stamp did you keep, and what was the question that made you think?
- Which landmark would you try next, and why?
Extension: On a second day, read Landmarks and earn one place stamp. Students then open the Countries Stamp Rally Book and tell the class which stamps are still waiting.
