Let the journey provide some of the activity
Notice the view, draw a tiny map or tell a story about an imaginary destination. Keep belongings contained and movement supervised. Real train rules, platform safety and staff instructions take priority over the activity plan.
Before starting, check the materials and adult-help notes in the guide. Begin with a small version and keep a familiar alternative available. If the idea does not fit the day, simplify the task or choose a different pace; a longer list is not always the answer.
