Field trips are a great way for kids to gain memorable, hands on learning experiences outside of the classroom. It’s disappointing to see school budgets being cut, and field trips slowly just going away.
In support of a new program, Field Trips For All, Lunchables will be hosting free-admission to the Orlando Science Center for the first 1,000 people this Saturday, May 1. The campaign aims to help 50 deserving classrooms across the country go on educational and inspiring field trip adventures.
Nominate a classroom! Anyone can nominate a 1st – 8th grade classroom to win a field trip through June 1 on the Lunchables website.
To capture those “oh so special field trip moments,” the folks at Lunchables have provided The Mamma Mia Blog with a Sony DSC-W220 Digital Camera with 12.1 Mega Pixel, 4x optical zoom and rechargeable battery to giveaway. I’ll announce the winner Friday afternoon (April 30)…. So hurry up and enter!

I remember loving field trips. One of my favorites was whale watching and just waiting to see a limpse of a whale…
The only field trip I recall was my 6th grade class field trip to Lansing to visit the capital and also included a trip to the zoo.
When I was in elementary school, I went on a field trip to the Maola ice cream plant. We saw how ice cream was made and then we all got our own ice cream to eat. I remember how good that ice cream tasted. I haven’t had any ice cream since then that even came close to how wonderful that ice cream was.
we went to martin marietta in new orleans and saw the space shuttle tanks that were made there. talk about COOL!!!
In grade school, we would always go to a fun little place called Billie Creek Village every year. I remember I loved going on hay rides!

I remember going to the art museum as a third grader and just loving it.
I remember in elementary school taking a trip down to Radio City Musical Hall on December 15 (I’m not telling the year – I don’t want to date myself!). This was when they would show a movie AND then also do the Christmas Spectacular show. We saw 1776 and the Christmas Spectacular. On the way home, it started to snow. Mom (who chaperoned) and I trudged home through the snow about 3/4 of a mile from school to home in our shoes (and the snow was about 4-5 inches by then). If you knew my mom, you’d know why the walk home was almost as impressive as RCMH – Mom was not a play in the snow type of girl, especially not without boots! What a memorable day that was – and it was sooo much fun!
When I was in the 7th grade we had a field trip to the zoo. One thing that I will never forget is having a snake wrapped around my shoulders. I was petrified but determined not to show how frightened I was.
On one of my field trips, we went to a place famous for their arrowheads. I picked one up and examined the heck out of it. The next day, my picture was in the paper…and I sure had an intense look on my face!

I remember the food factory trips best – potato chips, soda, peanut butter. They always gave snacks.
I remember going to a farm and petting the animals.
I remember visiting the museum of natural history with my class
In the 4th or 5th grade, I went to a wildlife preservation site and we got to see many interesting animals and learned about the environment.
