Planning your own educational trip
If it's just for school, for your kids or for the neighborhoodkids, it's nice to have a purposeful educational trip that willsurely be enjoyed by the children as well as teach them. Ofcourse there is the usual trip to the museum or the so-sofactory, but educational travel doesn't necessarily end with thedestination, one should also consider the preparations as wellas the child before you uproot them from their playgrounds.
Who should plan the Trip?
If the trip is an out of school activity, whether organized byyou or the neighborhood parents, there should always be somebodyor a group of people willing to dedicate a snippet of their timeto organizing, everything, destination, transportation, food,lodgings (if any) as well as the children involved.
What to Bring
A pack list is also essential before a trip. Here are a fewthings that should be in your or your child's bag when you go onan educational trip.
- Snacks -there should be lots of drinks and walk foods that youcan eat even while walking.
- First aid kit - an accident can easily happen, a small trip ora scratch should be mended easily. A medicine pack can also behandy for parents who develop headaches, or for children withstomach upset.
- Extra clothes - children are very

active, and sometimes evenparents can be over-active, so it is necessary that both bring aset of clothes for those unexpected spills.
- Walkie talkie - If your child can handle it, a walkie-talkieor a cellular phone can be very useful if he gets lost.
- Name tag - Attach a name tag to his shirt or to his bagcontaining your contact number (without a name) so that whoeverfinds him can contact you.
- One of his favorite toys - A good thing to distract a childwhen he gets uneasy during travel would be one of his favoritetoys.
- Wipes and tissue- For that easy cleanup whenever you need it.
When you get there
Fall in line, and make travel buddy's of two or three; the onebuddy should be responsible for the other so as to preventanyone getting left behind. This is best done with kids whodon't normally play together so they can bond and get to knoweach other more.
On the trip home
Encourage sleeping; children after a long walk can get crankywhen tired, so bring some milk with you so they can sleepthrough the trip home.
