Field Trips Assemblies Guide

Where? What? When?

Brown paper bag lunch, yellow school bus - it’s time for a field trip! While it does take a lot of planning and a financial commitment, a field trip can enhance any curriculum science, history, math, language arts or even phys-ed!

Picking the perfect destination trip depends on a number of factors - the age group, the educational benefits, the cost....

Perhaps that’s the reason why many schools continue to go on the same old trip year after year. Who will do all that research?

Good news! Our team at NJ KIDS has done a lot of research for you. Throughout the year, we meet with specialists, brainstorm ideas, go to conventions and collaborate. Many of these places can be tailored to your group, whether it’s a school, camp, scout, or homeschool program. Many programs do address NJ Core Curriulum standards, offering different areas of interest and a variety of trip types. Be ready to leave the classroom behind, and take the kids to a camp ground, a solar farm, a battleship, a space mission, or the most historic prison. What an experience it can be! Collaborate in a survival game, take the STEM spirit challenge, or blow glass art together.

Our featured cover Glass Roots looks like a one of a kind experience.

The secret to planning a focused field trip is the preplanning. Pre-trip, why not get the kids involved. Try to make connections between the trip, your curriculum and learning goals. Post trip, try to expand the trip’s favorite topics and apply them to art, writing, history, math, nature, or performing arts. Bring more discovery to the classroom. Hire an assembly program that will come to you. Pages 4-5 offer a list of great ideas to make your classroom more interactive.

Page 42 provides a quick at a glance list of assembly programs. We hope that this digest sized resource becomes your go to planning guide. With so many inspiring places, we wish you the best of luck on orchestrating a unique adventure for your group! Share this guide with other educators and thought leaders, and email me with other fascinating ideas!
