Designed as a resource for teachers and parents, this guide contains activities to help children from 2 to 8 years old learn from neighborhood walks and field trips. Information is presented on: field trips as an approach to learning, learning processes of children, and techniques to make trips meaningful. Teaching material for each trip includes vocabulary words, activities, songs, poems, fingerplays, and a list of children's books. The 18 trips are divided into two categories: (1) The Wonderful World of Walks includes an after-a-rain walk, an animal life walk, a garden walk, a house walk, a shadow walk, a tree walk, a truck walk, and a windy-day walk; and (2) The Community at Large includes a trip to a bank, a car dealership, a construction site, a grocery store, a hardware store, a hospital, a lumber yard/building center, a restaurant, a school, and a service station. Suggestions are given for additional places to visit, field trips in reverse (resources which can be brought to class), and techniques for finding new resources. A section for teachers gives hints for happier trips, possible solutions for some problems, suggestions for safety-proofing the trip, sample permission slips, field trip planning forms, and an orientation list for volunteers. Concluding this guide is a list of suggested resources. (EM)
