Even though some places are closed, explore the world through a virtual field trip.
What You Need:
Laptop/tablet/smartphone with internet access
What To Do:
- Arrange a virtual field trip day with your child by choosing a place that the child would be interested in. Many zoos, aquariums, national parks have live web cameras that stream their location. Some local sites include: Maui Ocean Center, Honolulu Aquarium Hawaiian Monk Seal Habitat, Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, and Poipu Beach.
- Once you chose a place, talk to the child about what she will see. For example, if viewing a beach, talk about the sand and water, or what she’s done at a beach.
- Access the live camera streams by doing an internet search of the place. A live web camera video feed will be displayed. Show it full screen so that the child can see it and view it for a few minutes.
- Extend the field trip by doing a hands-on activity. For example, if you just viewed the beach cam, have a small tub of sand with buckets and shovels that she can use to make a sand castle. You can also have books available to read about the beach to make the experience even more special for the child.
