Virtual field trips and travel activities for kids

Here are some fun things to explore online together.

For instance, Million Mile Secrets, a travel promotion website, offers this guide of virtual field trips and travel activities for kids.

The guide includes a list of 30 virtual field trips, broken down by the core school subjects they relate to. It also includes a free downloadable six-page field trip workbook that kids can use as they check out the many virtual activities listed in the guide.
