Don’t settle for another trip to Disney this summer – consider a fun trip full of learning activities for the whole family.
You Will Need
Travel books
Brochures
Internet access
Maps
Step 1: Involve the kids in the planning(有孩子的家庭,可以询问一下孩子们的意见)
Ask your children what special things they want to do on vacation. Write down their ideas and let them know that their enjoyment is a main reason for taking a vacation.
Step 2: Involve resources(通过旅游书,因特网和地图来搜集相关信息)
Incorporate travel books, brochures, the internet, and maps to give your children a visual of places to visit. Reviewing the media is educational in itself.
Step 3: Mix education and fun(寓学于乐)
Choose a destination that balances educational adventures and fun.
Visit a destination they learned about in school the previous year, or one they will learn about the next year, to build on their knowledge.
Step 4: Do educational things(做一些充实自己的事,例如去博物馆等等)
Be sure to visit museums and culturally significant sites. Review daily activities and discuss new things they learned, or you learned, in casual conversation.
Don’t tell the kids they are learning or give them homework; it is a vacation and should be treated as such.
Step 5: Take pictures(拍照)
Take pictures along the way and review them after returning home.
Step 6: Think about yourself(想想自己想干什么)
Satisfy your own vacation needs. Schedule time to relax, read a book, or enjoy a nice dinner.
About 3,000 U.S. schools have embraced the full-year calendar and shortened summer vacation to July only.
