What they like doing on holiday? - Results table

When discussing holiday preferences, a group of six families, including the students' own, were surveyed to find out their favourite activities while on a break. The term 'holiday' in this context refers to a period of leisure and recreation away from one's usual environment, typically spent in different surroundings or in travel. Students are tasked with collaborating in a group of five to analyze the results, assigning rankings from 1 to 10 for each activity listed, with 1 being the most popular and 10 the least popular based on the survey results.

The activities range from relaxing pastimes such as sitting by the pool with a book (1) and soaking up the sun on a beach (5), to more adventurous pursuits like visiting a famous city (2) or engaging in outdoor activities such as walking or cycling (7). Accommodation preferences are also explored, from staying in a caravan (3) to sleeping in a tent (4). Social activities include visiting family and friends (6), while dining out (8) and traveling to another country (10) reflect cultural and exploratory interests. Through this exercise, students will determine the collective holiday preferences of the group and understand the varied appeals of different holiday activities. Additionally, the exercise prompts reflection on the reasons behind the appeal of seaside holidays and encourages students to consider the location of the nearest seaside resorts in relation to their school.
