Travel at home solutions to ensure kids can still discover the world
Global travel company Skyscanner has created free, downloadable play packs to enable families to still share travel experiences, discover other cultures and teach children about destinations around the world.
Each week, Skyscanner’s network of travel experts from across the globe will create activity packs that encourage children to be curious about travel, while helping parents by providing activities and craft projects to entertain little ones whilst at home.
The downloadable activity packs for kids aged 5-10 years include:
Destination discovery quizzes
Travel inspired colouring exercises
Continent themed word searches
The first play pack is now available to download from https://www.skyscanner.net/news/things-to-do-for-kids-indoors.
Brand new play packs will be launched weekly throughout April.
The play packs include ‘at home adventures’ for families to share via social media. Skyscanner families will be setting challenges for kids across the globe, including:
Draw your best holiday
Build a box: re-enacting journeys in cardboard box-built aeroplanes, boats and gondolas
Design and name your own flag
Global Brand Director Jo McClintock shares, “Travel provides a unique education for children. Whether they are exploring just an hour from home or discovering a long-haul destination, the power of understanding and appreciating others’ lives and cultures is critical to becoming a global citizen. Travel builds tolerance, empathy and awareness, something that we are endeavouring to recreate for families, who currently are unable to let their children truly interact with the world. At Skyscanner, we are dedicated to bringing travellers to the world, but right now we’re focussed on bringing the world to you.”
Skyscanner is working hard to support travellers through the Covid-19 pandemic with dedicated advice and product support for those searching to get home or for future adventures when the world re-opens.
Skyscanner’s recent research revealed that 60% of Skyscanner travellers are optimistic that they will be able to travel internationally later this year, of which half are very optimistic. The most recent launches from Skyscanner, including a series of Spotify playlists, are part of their #WeWill movement, which is designed to focus on the future, ensuring that hope and faith endure during this difficult time.
