In my previous blog, I shared how you can prepare for your visit.
Now I will share tips and activities for when you are on vacation:
1. Try local foods - Food is a great way to introduce your children to different cultures. Encourage them to try new things and talk about the flavors and ingredients they taste.
2. Dress up in traditional clothing - Children love to dress up and it's a great way to introduce them to different cultures. Find a local market/shop and let them try on traditional clothes.
3. Take a guided tour - Guided tours are a great way to learn about the history and culture of a place. Look for tours that are geared towards families and children.
4. Search for local festivals and events - This is a great way to experience different cultures. It's a perfect opportunity to see traditional dance, music, and local customs.
5. Visit a local school - Many schools welcome visitors and offer a chance to observe classes and see firsthand how education is different in other parts of the world.
Below I have compiled various resources that you can leverage to prepare your children before a trip as well as make your trip an exciting experience:
