Are you going to be traveling through Kansas? Need some ideas for Field Trips and other things to study?
I started this unit and list of field trips as a way to help others make a list of places to stop as they travel to the Teach Them Diligently Convention in Omaha. I know from experience, that having a list of places to stop along the way is a huge help. We have also made a point to study about the areas we will be traveling to and through before we head out.
I put together a unit for our children to help them know where we were going, and decided to expand it and add a list of field trips we have done or plan to do some day.
As we head to Teach Them Diligently in Omaha, I wanted my children to know where we were headed, and a few of the landmarks in our state as we travel. I will hand out maps that they can mark on as we travel. Due to timing, I am unsure if we will be stopping and doing any field trips this time around, but we will be making a list of places to do next time we head this route.
The study I made includes interesting facts, mapping activities, list of famous people, field trip ideas and more. Your children will need a map or maps of Kansas and surrounding states, online access, or a trip to the library, and colored pencils to work through this.
Many think Kansas is a flat land full of fields, full of wheat and sunflowers, however, as you look through the free printable I have put together, you will notice there are plenty of places to stop and enjoy some great educational family fun time together as you travel.

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
I hate I won’t be in Omaha - but I know you are going to have a fantastic time - will miss ya!
