Happy Travels Virtual Get Away Packet!!

This summer my children and I will visit six countries: Egypt, Jamaica, Mexico, Greece, Italy and Japan. We will spend 7-8 virtual days in each country, soaking up the history, culture, and traditions. On our last day in each country, we will don traditional clothing items, listen to music and make a craft related to the country’s culture. While feasting on a traditional meal, we will take photos, and discuss what we have learned. Upon returning from our travels, we will scrapbook, journal and compile a recipe book.

This travel packet contains loads of activities; ‘printables’ and suggestions for planning your very own virtual get away. The activities in this packet are great for kids of all ages, students, homeschoolers, parents and children, pre-school, summer camp, summer activities, day care, afterschool programs etc. They are also great as supplemental, hands- on/culminating activities for social studies/history units.

Free Download: School Days Memory Book 'Printables' End of the Year Activities!

FREE: 


This packet of 'printables' is designed with activities that may be used to create a special, personalized memory book. While many of the activities are geared toward 5th graders transitioning to middle school, the activities can be modified for just about any student. The ‘printables’ are great for end of the year activities, summer projects, homeschoolers etc.

A list of suggested uses for the activities is included in this packet, but the big goal for students should be fun, creativity, and making and sharing memories of their school days…scrapbook style. Students should be encouraged to doodle and write notes in the margins and blank spaces, add color, cut and paste, etc. It should be an expression of who they are at this time, so when they look back on it years from now the memories of their school days come flooding back.
