Jet set, go
From July 7 2008
|
Jet set, go is an interactive
exhibition specifically for children under eight and their carers,
exploring the airport, planes and travel through playful and
imaginative games and activities.
Children will meet a range of characters from far-away countries who
will help them plan and prepare for an imaginary journey around the
world. Exploring exciting countries such as Canada, France, Brazil
and Japan, stamping their passports along the way.
The exhibition takes under 8s through the different stages of a
holiday journey from packing their bags before they set off, to
actually landing the plane. There are plenty of opportunities for
dressing up and role-playing as airport staff, from air-traffic
control to pilot and cabin crew.
Aircraft cabin
In the aircraft cabin children can listen to stories of Teddy’s
adventures around the world, learning more about the places he has
visited along the way.
Children can test their bag-packing skills and have a go at packing
a bag with all the equipment they need for a holiday to different
destinations around the world - Will it be cold or hot? Do you need
snow-shoes or flip-flops? |

Dress up as cabin crew for role-play in the cabin, or be a passenger
and just watch the clouds fly by!

Air Traffic Control
Children can dress up and role-play as Air Traffic Control - telling the
planes where to go in the sky and on the ground. From here you can even
talk to the pilot!

Cockpit
Have a go at being the pilot and landing the plane
Runway
Out on the runway is where the planes have to land – Dress up and
role-play as ground crew who have to signal to the planes and show
them where to go.
Baggage x-ray
Who do all the bags belong to? Can you tell where they are going
from what is inside? Can you help find Teddy? Use x-ray machines to
match the suitcases to the characters from different countries.
Check-in and Passport Control
Children can pick up their ‘passport’ and collect stamps from the
countries they have visited on their imaginary journey using a map
of the world to guide them.
The passports also include spaces for drawing pictures and can be
taken away with them. |
The exhibition is a fully enclosed space within Explore.
