Turn a Summer Trip Into a Learning Experience
If your family will be taking a trip this summer, turn it into a learning experience!
Here are some easy ways to do it:
- Make the planning as fun as the trip itself. Find a good travel guide, in book form or online. Assign your child to research the things she might see along your route. If you will be passing by historical sites, check out some library books or websites about the people, places or events before you leave.
- Get maps for your child. Give her a highlighter and ask her to mark the route you travel each day. She can keep her math facts fresh by calculating distance and mileage.
- Plan car activities. Let your child choose an audiobook to listen to. Have her pack a pencil and some paper to use to play games, sketch scenery or journal about your trip.
- Plan rest stops. Take a Frisbee or a ball to toss—a little physical activity will be reinvigorating and may revive your child's interest in the museum your family will visit next.
