| Session 6: Field Trip Recommended time There is no one best way to conduct a field trip, but a good rule of thumb is, "Be prepared and be organized." Having time estimates mapped out for each activity will help ensure that no activities get left out. Discussing logistics in detail with the hosts at the field trip site before the trip will help ensure that activities run smoothly. For 6- to 8-year-olds, hands-on activities make a successful field trip. Be sure to bring clipboards and paper or journals so that the students can draw and write during the trip. Take lots of photos. If appropriate to the activities and permissible, bring small containers or plastic bags so the students can bring back samples of things they encounter. Bring a few storybooks to read in case there is downtime while riding on a bus or waiting for an activity to start. A sample schedule for a field trip is as follows:
Although it may be difficult to find the time to do a newsletter on a field trip day, a newsletter is especially important for helping children reflect on the trip and communicating the excitement of the trip to parents. If necessary, bring copies of the newsletter template sheets to the field trip site.
