Planning on a Field Trip? Here’s How!

Field trips can be fun most of the times only if we follow the basic rules and tips that have to be followed when we are taking the kids out. Usually taking school children or even youngsters out to tours and field trips is a big responsibility but you can always sort it out with some guidelines and with some patience. After all, a field trip with youngsters is always fun if you ignore the problems that you might face. I am Aara, your travel guide and expert, here to share with you, my little secrets as to how I managed to take my school children on a field.

  1. Start Early: It is always better to start early, take a tour while the sun is still high. Usually safety comes first when we are with kids, especially when we have them in large numbers. Sunset leads to darkness and that can be dangerous as anything can happen in such conditions. So it is always good to finish the trips a little early. There is no harm going early. So choose the places that would allow you to reach early.
  2. Cut down costs: Since we all know that taking out kids or youngsters is a major responsibility, it is even harder to convince their parents to spend more on their outings. So make sure that you plan with low funds and make the best use of it. Get them something to eat and keep them hydrated so that they are energetic to roam around till they finish exploring the whole place.
  3. Think Small: They are adolescents. They would really want you to take them to all those wonder parks with giant wheels that look like death eaters. They just need a day out and they know how to have fun with their friends and you. So think and plan about places which are under your budget and which have nothing that can harm your kids. Make sure that you have the limited place where you can keep an eye on every kid and see where they are going. Don’t plan in a way where you might lose them.
  4. Plan for some action: Keep the energy going right from the beginning till the ending. Don’t let them know that it is a long day. Let them have fun and make sure that when they run out of ideas, you give them a kick-start again. Make sure they have lot of memories and talks to share with their parents and relatives when they reach home.
  5. Pre-check the site: Make sure that you know about the place that you are taking them. If possible, go check the place beforehand and make sure you not down the defects and the positive points of the place. Select places accordingly.
  6. Use time wisely: Make sure you have a proper plan set for them. Don’t let them wander everywhere as per their wish all the time. That will just create chaos and they will have nothing to learn and remember. Make a readymade activity list and if you want, you can give them and hour or so to scatter and do whatever they want. Just make sure that they are in reach.
