Entertaining, fun and educational school trips

WHEN it comes to school tours there are a number of factors to consider that will ensure that the trip is entertaining and fun in addition to being educational.

There is no doubt that children of all ages love going on school tours. Whether it’s a relatively short trip to a local activity site at national school level or a more in-depth secondary school trip abroad there is something magical about school tours that captures the imagination of those participating.

Nowadays, there is a wide range of options to choose from and with that in mind consideration should be given at planning stage as to what it is you want the children to get from their tour experience.

Obviously, it’s very beneficial to have an educational aspect to the trip but that doesn’t mean it still can’t be a fun filled tour as well.

Some tour companies provide packages that are based around ‘ tours by subject’ offerings while others are more activity based.

Companies can also tailor your tour to meet the specific needs of your school and that means the school and those who organise the trip have the benefit of knowing the children will be looked after, the trip will be educational and entertaining and once it’s over the participants will have fond memories of times spent in the company of friends and teachers away from the formal classroom setting.

The experts are out there; all it takes to think carefully about what you want the children to get out of the tour and then look at the range of tour companies and what they offer.

A school tour should be fun and with a little careful planning you can ensure that is the case for your school trip.
