What to do at the seaside - Worksheet
Geography Resource Description
The 'What to do at the seaside' worksheet is an engaging resource designed to encourage children to explore and discuss the unique activities available at coastal locations which are not typically possible at home. The worksheet prompts students to watch a specific video that showcases seaside attractions and then engage in a partner discussion to compile a list of seaside-specific activities. Such an exercise not only stimulates conversation but also helps children to think critically about the different environments and the activities they support.
Further inquiry on the worksheet guides students to reflect on why the seaside is a popular destination for many people. It encourages them to consider the emotional appeal of being near the ocean and to discuss the prevalence of hotels, cafes, and souvenir shops in these areas. By examining the economic ecosystem of seaside resorts, children gain insight into how these businesses cater to the needs and desires of visitors, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of coastal holiday destinations.
