Travel Time Brochures

What you need: 

• construction paper 
• magazines 
• travel brochures 
• scissors 
• glue 
• markers 
• atlas or maps 

What to do:

1. Look at travel brochures or magazines with your child. Why might tourists want to visit those places?
2. With your child, choose a place that you would like to visit and locate it on a map. 
3. Make a list of at least three reasons why this location would attract visitors.
4. Fold a piece of construction paper into three sections and use each section to explain a reason for visiting. Be sure to include enough information so that someone could make an informed decision about visiting that location. You might even want to visit a library or use the Internet to find out more about the location.
5. Illustrate your brochure with drawings or with pictures cut from magazines or travel brochures.
