Field Trips<\/strong>\u00a0can\u00a0be an excellent way for kids to learn and have new experiences. Get permission from your host parents before any outings. Here are a few field trips that go with this theme:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Go kart track (even if they aren\u2019t old enough to drive, watching the cars is fun.)<\/li>\n
  • Look for construction areas where the kids can observe big machines in action. Kids should observe from the car or a safe area.<\/li>\n
  • Keep an eye out for the trash truck and let them watch the truck in action.<\/li>\n
  • Go to a drive-through car wash and\/or let the kids make their own car wash at home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Virtual Field Trips<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Watch vehicles being assembled with virtual auto plant tours from Toyota<\/a> & BMW<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Videos<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Mighty Machines<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0Amazing Big Trucks<\/a>\u00a0are kid-friendly video channels showing machinery and big trucks in action. Look for fun videos on YouTube about cars and trucks.<\/p>\n
