School trips can be even more fun and more educational

A school trip to a workshop, a farm or a museum is educational, but only if the pupils hear what is being said. A teacher or guide who has to talk over a noisy group soon loses their attention. With a tour guide system, every pupil hears everything, as if it were being told to them one-to-one. The video below shows the kinds of places where that comes in handy.

Why a tour guide system on a school trip?

It happens more often than you might think: a school class on a tour of a workshop or a farm. Wherever it is, the teacher has to hold the attention of a group of pupils who are not sitting quietly behind a desk. Children's attention span is short enough as it is. If they also have to strain to hear the speaker, it is soon over.

With a tour guide system, the teacher or guide speaks into a small microphone and every pupil hears them clearly through headphones or an earpiece. The group stays together better, attention lasts longer and the information gets through. And that is exactly the point of a school trip.

The benefits at a glance

• Everyone hears the speaker: including the pupils at the back and in a noisy environment.
• A calmer group: those who can hear well do not need to push to the front.
• Less vocal strain: the teacher or guide talks at a normal volume.
• Safer: in a workshop or factory, everyone hears the safety instructions.

Ideas for school trips

Let your imagination run free. To get you started, a few examples: a museum visit, an excursion to a factory or workshop, a (city) farm, the zoo, a theme park or a city walk. The same applies to a company visit: those who hear the story remember it. Also read why a tour guide system is so valuable for a factory tour.

Easy to rent

There is no need to buy a tour guide system for a handful of trips a year. You simply rent the set for a day, including charged receivers and hygienic earpieces. Make your school trip even more worthwhile and request a quote.
