Discovery: A Family Adventure through Rome’s Stories, Streets, and Secrets

EDUCATIONAL TRIPS

Overview and purpose

Turn your family holiday into a story worth telling.

What if your next trip didn’t just entertain your kids, but inspired them? What if you could explore the greatest city of history not as tourists, but as curious explorers, learning through play, stories, and hands-on creativity?

Discovery is a 5-day learning adventure created for Gulf families. It turns the streets of Rome into a living classroom, where every monument becomes a lesson, and every family works as a team to learn something new. You’ll sketch, build, create maps, listen to stories, and reflect on what each place means together.

Each day includes a fun, clear morning learning activity, followed by a cultural visit that brings that topic to life. The pace is relaxed and joyful, and the experience is delivered in English with full Arabic-speaking support.

Because the best kind of travel makes you think, feel, and grow, as a family.

Duration and Daily Schedule

Daily Schedule

Day 1: The Secret‑Symbol Hunt

Morning: Welcome circle and kit hand‑out. Every child receives a “Discovery Kit”: mini sketchbook, coloured pencils, fold‑up city map, explorer badge, and pocket magnifier. A quick game of “See What Others Miss” teaches the family how to spot hidden carvings and patterns.
Afternoon: Symbol‑scouting walk around the Colosseum. Using the new kit, families sketch eagles, helmets, and laurel leaves while a storyteller brings the arena’s legends to life.

Day 2: A Day in Ancient Shoes

Morning: Parents and children turn yesterday’s symbols into a comic‑style “Day in the Life” of a Roman child: breakfast, clothing, and market errands included.
Afternoon: Short walk through Rome’s main cluster of ancient ruins (columns, arches, meeting squares). Families match their comic scenes to real remains and mark maps Then / Now to show what has changed.

Day 3: Layers Beneath Our Feet

Morning: Each family stacks and decorates four sturdy shoeboxes to create a “Time Tower”. Every level shows Rome in a different era: Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern.
Afternoon: Guided visit to the layered site of San Clemente. Whenever a real wall or mosaic matches a layer of the Time Tower, families add a stamp and discuss how cities build on top of older stories.

Day 4: Statues That Talk

Morning: Families make Emotion Decoder Cards: quick sketches and colour swatches that capture how a statue’s pose feels (brave, calm, joyful).
Afternoon: An Art Story Trail in Villa Borghese gardens puts the cards to work. Families “translate” sculpture moods, then strike their own poses for a playful photo session.

Day 5: The Grand Map Quest

Morning: All sketches, stamps, and decoder cards are collaged into a large Family Discovery Map: Rome as seen through your eyes.
Afternoon: Picnic celebration in a leafy park. Maps are shared, explorer certificates awarded, and each family pledges its next curiosity quest before warm good‑byes.
