A journal is an excellent way for your child to write about everyday events and to record thoughts. It is fun to keep a journal when on a special trip.
What you'll need:
* Journals or notebooks and pencils for you and your child.
What to do:
* Plan a special trip with your child to a museum, zoo, sports game, or other place of special interest to your child. Ask your child to take along a journal to use for noting interesting things seen or heard.
Tell your child you are taking a journal too, so that you also can write about your experiences. Compare your journals throughout the day, and especially at the end of the journey.
