McDonald's Field Trips - March 2006


	Objective:		Experiential learning. Fun filled and educational!
	Who went:		About 3,000 children from 21 CEC centres visited some 6 selected McDonald's outlets. The planning of such trips was a tremendous challenge for the teachers [320 of them]. The students were systematically guided through the outlets. For most of us, this represents a life-time experience.
	What they learned:		How a typical outlet was run, starting from the front counter to the kitchen. Front Counter: How food was ordered, paid and delivered at the counter. Kitchen: How various food were prepared and packed. Chiller Room: Children were given a tour to look at huge freezers and frozen food. Practicals: a few children had a hand in preparing burgers! Real fun!
	Take-home benefits:		Apart from fun, the children were given treats of light snacks. Children really understood what went behind the counter, much more than the average adult would know. With this experience, the children will definitely add a good measure of confidence in their social rounds with their peers [who are not from CEC]. They were offered to join the Ronald McDonald’s Kids Club membership at a discounted fee.
