Train Activity Book

[Clever Girl]

Hello!

My family will be taking our first train journey in May to New Orleans. We have two girls, 7 and 9.

I am looking high and low for a train activity book for them. A cross between a scavenger hunt, train/rail history, and general fun activity book.

Do you have any recommendations? Resources?

Thanks for your help!

Great idea. I'm taking my 10 and 12 year-old kids in March. I hope someone has a recommendation.

You might do a search for teacher's guides or lesson plans for railroads/train travel.

Most of these you can download for free and print them out at home.

Here is a link to an Amtrak website specifically designed for kids, which has some downloadable activities and things to print off:

Many trains sell an Amtrak activity book at the snack bar.

That is awesome! I'm going to play around with that the next time I'm on the train.
