Make Use of Educational Travel as Learning Resources for Kids

Posted By: vie on November 5, 2009 at 2:17 am

Learning resources for kids doesn’t only come from the classroom, playing or travelling can be a great real life learning experience for kids. Whether you take your kids to travel to other states or to visit neighbouring countries, kids learn from the sights and the sound during travelling.

These are benefits that kids gain during educational travel to another country:

Gain Knowledge of Other Country or Other State. Show the map to your kids where is the location of the country or the state. Encourage the kids to learn the facts about the country from the internet or book.
Discover a New Language. My kids learn to say “Sawasdee” during vacation to Bangkok. Kids will be aware that people speak different language than theirs.
Learn about People, Food, Culture and Tradition. Let kids get to know the local people. Bring them to museum, art gallery or cultural performance to see the local culture and tradition. Dine in the restaurant that serve local food so kids can taste local food and how food is served and cooked.

Travelling to other country will boost children’s confidence level and make them become an open-minded child. They learn the new world outside their home country. Tips for parents: make use of educational travel as fun learning resources for kids to introduce knowledge such as geography and history of this particular state or country.

I share some picture of my kids during educational travel to Bangkok, Thailand. Recommended places of interest or cultural performance in Bangkok that will benefit for kids learning resources are: Grand Palace, Jim Thompson’s house, Siam Niramit Cultural Show and Joe Louis Puppet theatre.
