ral77 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I am covering the topic 'journey's' next half term. Last time I did this topic I set up a travel agents roleplay. I would like to try and do something different this year. Has anyone got any tried and tested ideas for a role-play area based on Journey's?

Marion Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Airport check in? Suitcases to pack with different clothes depending on the destination A bus or train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Bus always works well, many children use one or see them so know about them... where are you going today always sparks a lot of conversation and discussion. Inge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wolfie Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 We took our children on a day trip to RAF Cosford last year and they had an airport role play set up there which was great! They had a bit where you packed your suitcase with appropriate clothing for where you were travelling to, a luggage weigh in desk, a desk where you had your passport stamped, a desk where you had a look on the globe and decided where you wanted to go and wrote your ticket out, etc.etc. The children loved it! Another imaginative activity that we have done on the theme of journeys is an indoor picnic journey - first we go on a bus (chairs organised in pairs with a driver at the front), then go across stepping stones across a river (blue material on the floor), then through a cave(plastic tunnel) until we finally find somewhere for our picnic. A bit of a variation onthe Bear Hunt story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickyw Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 How about a role-play area outside as a camp site with tents, sleeping bags, ruck sacks, maps, cameras etc so the children can journey around your outside area, suppose you could adapt it to inside as well N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Great ideas, love the avatar NickiW, welcome to the forum. Camping - roll on the summer. You could even make your own pentagon den 'tent', using bamboo canes, featured on the forum recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
