Hooray! It's a smart holiday!

Holiday is too worth to pass. So, why don’t we plan our holiday in order to have “having fun” time while sharpening our intelligence?

After receiving report books in school, and after knowing the result of our efforts in education, we sometimes feel confused where we want to spend our holiday. Having vacation overseas is one of the highest dream we sometimes hope the upcoming holiday. But, honestly, at the same time, we realize that it can spend a lot of money if we trip overseas, even in this difficult economical situation. And after the holiday, all we feel is only tiresome. Even, we will not be ready enough to start our school for new term again.

However, we also have to admit that doing something and going somewhere are very useful to refresh our mind and heart before we go to the school again. That’s why, all the people—the students and the workers—really wait for holiday. No matter what, we must make our holiday useful and educative.

When the holiday comes, children may think about some exciting things. They imagine about places which can make them forget hard time in their school. But, as parents, it is their duty to disappear the children’s thirst of excitement without erasing the children’s intellectual insights, because, if the parents find a way only to entertain the children, the children’s achievement after they come back to the schools will decrease.

As well all know, there are still a lot of places which can only give the excitement to the children, but also can refresh the children’s insights. Those places are very interesting, too. Besides they give satisfaction to children, the places can make the students are eager to come back to the places again, because the children feel that they can study a lot of new things related to their lessons at schools.

In Indonesia itself, we have some places that can realize all those goals above. Taman Safari, for instance, can give us deeper knowledge about animals, and of course it has relation to some subjects in our school, such as biology. Planetarium, in Cikini, can also give us excitement and insights. In the place, we can watch some things in the sky, such as stars and planets. All those views can provoke the children’s interest in science.

Finally, having decision to go to useful places are wise plans. And, hooray! It’s a smart holiday!
