September 15th to October 15th is a National Hispanic Heritage Month. I believe that a fun way to explore how diverse and amazing Hispanic Heritage is could be by finding a fun fact about each of the Spanish speaking countries. I think sometimes people generalize about cultures different than their own, like Hispanic and Latino culture. By showing a little factoid about each different country, it shows how each country has a unique culture.
I hope you find a fun way to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month and I hope you found these facts interesting!
