My Lockdown Trip around the World

April 2020, the Lockdown… So you’re stuck at home, fed up with doing the same

things every day? why not try travelling the world from the comfort of your own

sofa? Here are some suggestions of virtual visits to help you dream. Maybe it will

even inspire you to make plans for the future…

Fasten your seat belts and let your imagination take you all over the world. If you

want to share your trip with your classmates, you can write a travel diary, or

create a virtual photo album. Plot your journey on the map at the end of this

document and don’t forget to bring back a few souvenirs!

What was your favourite place? Why did you choose it? When you go back to

school, perhaps you could make a presentation of one of the places you visited and

explain all the new and fascinating facts you learnt. On your virtual travels you

will probably encounter some other fantastic virtual tours, make a note of them

for the rest of the class…

Don’t forget to write your travel diary!
