“Travel opens your heart,

broadens your mind and

fills your life with stories to tell.”

- Paula Bendfeldt

Dear Children,

Summer vacations are synonymous with fun, frolic, getting up late in the morning, playing for longer hours with friends, going for picnics, exploring new places and watching fun filled shows on television. There is a lot more you can do to make your vacations more meaningful and interesting.

Dip into your treasure box and see what comes up!

Choose any one of the sections. All work has to be done on A-4 size coloured sheets. Make an attractive folder to put all the

sheets.

Traveller’s Tale

Section – A

Incredible India Tour Agency

Fasten your seatbelts and feel your pulse racing for we are about to explore the most exciting and incredible places of India. Visit the land of treasure called India and let it mesmerize you with its wonders which would last for a lifetime.

Imagine you are the creative head of a tours and travels agency. You have to design pamphlets of four different Indian tourist destinations (for eg.Leh and Ladakh) to magnetize the tourists to choose your packages. (You have to design four pamphlets)

The pamphlets should be replete with attractive pictures and interesting information. Each package should include the cost of hotel stay, train fare, sightseeing, adventure activities

and a three time meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) Each package should not exceed more than Rs.50000/-

Be sure to mention the individual cost in each package and the total amount per head. Offer a discount of 5% if four members of a family are travelling together and mention the special family rate for four members)

Vacation tic-tac-toe

While you’re away from school, you may choose to complete these vacation assignments. We hope that these activities will let you enjoy your time off, encourage you to do some real world learning, and prepare you to share your adventures with the rest of the class when you return!

Keep a travel journal

For each day write at least one paragraph that describes where you are, what you’re doing, or how you are feeling. Make sure to edit and proofread. We’d love to see illustrations too, but they’re not compulsory.

Be a local historian

Do some research about the history of the place you’re visiting. Look at brochures, in travel books, or even on the internet. Write one page about what you learn. Edit and proofread your writing.

Look for real life math

Write and solve five math story problems from your trip. Think about a restaurant bill, the miles you travel, the cost of tickets, or elapsed time. If you pay attention, you’ll be surprised how much math pops up on your trip! Remember to write your answer in complete sentences.
