~ Encouraging kids
to keep a travel journal or a travel diary and collect momentoes and photos
for creating a vacation scrapbook at home can really help kids in looking
at their family vacation with open eyes
~ A Travel diary as opposed to a travel journal can be more like
noting down important facts like times, dates and places you've been too
whereas a travel journal can include drawings, clipped pieces of
travel momentoes stuck in etc

When I took this vacation photo ..
" I could hear…"
"I could see…"
"I could taste…"
"I could I feel…"
"I could smell…"
You can do the same when waiting in a queue somewhere on on long family
vacation journeys
Describe your surroundings, what can you hear , see etc .. or describe all
things that are yellow . The main thing is to have fun with it and younger
kids can participate in their own travel journal by glueing , sticking and
coloring. |

Writing Prompts for Kid Travel Journal
Think of your own writing prompts and stick them into the front of your
kid travel journal to spark off the Little "Travel Writer" inspiration
Maya has kept travel
diaries since she was very little, starting with little mini journals where
she drew what she saw to illustrated story journals. The right equipment
for the type of family vacation you have planned is a good start, think
about how you travel, by plane, by car etc and what type of travel journal
kid sized fits your circumstance best- it does make a difference especially
where space restrictions occur |
