Field trips

How do I keep 30+ students engaged and safe during a field trip?

This article provides easy to follow steps to ensure that your students have fun, have a memorable day outside of school while also staying safe throughout the experience.

Have the students all wear matching shirts or at least all wear the same color to keep track of them

Have a meeting place so that if you split off into groups everyone knows where and when to meet back

Create a buddy system so that nobody is ever alone

Bring chaperones! Ideally 2:1 is best but at most 4:1 to ensure safety

Give the students a card with your contact information so that if they get lost another adult, with a cell phone can help them reach you.
