Guest Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Hi, Has any one got any suggestions on the theme holidays my staff are really struggling. Now I've been told I'm not to count in on ratio and the girls need to plan their own activities with very little support from me. So far we have had; writing own passports, sequence plane journey, creating own suitcases, what would we put in a suitcase, ways of travelling. Really need some different inspiration if anyone has any ideas. Tiff x
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Hi and welcome. Not sure these are any use but here goes. 1. Travel brochures. 2. Pullalong trolleys for packing and folding clothes. 3. A map to perhaps plot or mark countries the children may have visited. in fact lots of maps, local ones, world map. 4. Songs/books with journeys in them. 5. Clothing for different types of holidays, sunglasses, towel, umbrella, binoculars, snowwear, walking clothes etc. 6. Make their own passports, can they take a photo of themselves. 7. Small or large collages or whatever the children wish to make of transport vehicles, ships, boats, planes, trains, cars, coaches, bicycles. 8. Make posters of different types of holidays/days out. [The countryside, beach, skiing, walking,sailing,theme parks etc] We have just had a campsite at ours with tents, pretend bbq, foods, sleeping bags, clothes, torches, one little one went home all excited and said to mummy, i wonder if they could have a caravan next, ah bless her. Have fun. Edited July 16, 2011 by bridger 1
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 a magic carpet to take them anywhere they like...or a carboard box to fly to the moon!
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Love that, we often go on a magic carpet ride fantastic.
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I bought blank postcards and children drew on them and then we wrote all the things we'd done on our holiday and walked to the letterbox and posted them to Mum and Dad. We painted a big picture of the seaside and put sand on a mat and photographed the children making sandcastles. Lots of role play airports, travel company, aeroplane, boat, etc 1

I love the magic carpet idea though as well as all the other activities. Thanks again. Tiff
