Bring history to life for your young students with a guided walk in Akaroa. With the guide in costume and real buildings to look at, the imagination of kids is captured before the walk even starts. Options range from a 1 hour guided walk to a half day of historic activities. Walks can be arranged to fit in with other activities such as harbour cruises, and we are happy to put together a mixed activity package for your class.

"Pompey the Penguin's Mystery History Tour" followed by the "Graveyard Game" is the perfect half day activity for older Primary and Intermediate age groups. The tour includes a cartoon style question and answer booklet to keep, interactive activities, a visit to the historic library, a bush walk and a playground break. The "Graveyard Game" is a team building exercise, using knowledge learnt earlier.
For older students the personally guided walks used with adults are modified to place emphasis on the life of teenage girls and boys who lived in Akaroa the 19th century.

In case of poor weather, an indoor program is subtituted for the walk. Walks can be adapted to meet your curriculum with prior discussion. Priced to meet school budgets.
