If you do something like this, keep in mind that, again, it's easiest to hold children's interest when the information is hands-on. Bring props with you that the children can look at and touch, such as blueprints, pencils, and a T-square. Keep the presentation simple but active - and stay flexible.

Few things are as exciting to young children as a school outing.
Readers share how to enhance the fun and learning during these adventures. If I'm free, I try to volunteer to chaperone on field trips. It's great to experience the outing myself - and it's more fun for Kaela later when we tell friends and family about the trip. When my daughter comes home, I always ask what her three favorite parts of the field trip were. Then she makes a drawing, and we send it to one of her relatives.
