Travel buddies are soft toys that travel the world as representatives of the host class. They are a cultural exchange with a single school or travel widely on a path chosen by those who forward him to friends in other places. They usually focus on one theme. They might include lesson plans and activities for the visiting class and different activities for individual students to complete. On the buddy's return home, the children will have a diary to read about the buddy's adventures.
Classes stay in constant touch with their buddy by electronic mail.
Of course, no traveler would be without one of those disposable cameras. When the travel buddy arrives in the visiting class it is important to email the host and tell them the buddy has arrived. The buddy should go home with the children to experience day to day life. Encourage them to record their time together in the diary. Collect items from the day to day events that the buddy experiences such as hand drawn sketches of its adventures.
