Teacher Resources

The KidZania experience offers a truly unique and interactive learning opportunity. It fosters a hands-on approach for children to explore the world of work and the wealth of possibilities that it presents in a safe, secure and vibrant environment. 

How KidZania helps teachers?

The rich learning environment at KidZania also provides a unique opportunity for the educators or teachers to:

• Observe the performance of his/her students both at the personal level of interaction with others, and in the application of knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes in different situations very similar to reality
• Develop and strengthen competencies
• Identify areas of opportunity to develop different capacities in their students
• Identify children’s interests and motivations, which lead them to develop various learning situations at school

We also conduct special teachers' workshops. For further information, visit our Educational Value page. 

A practical guide for the development of skills before, during and after the visit to get the most out of KidZania.

Before the visit

• Identify the competences and learnings that you want to work with during the visit

• What will be your indicators to measure the performance of the competences?

• Which KidZania establishments cover your academic goals?

• Do you have any project that you can perform in our facilities?

• What knowledge of different subjects can be enriched during the visit?

• Tell your students the objectives of their visit

• Ask your students about their knowledge of the topic or problem you want them to tackle and about KidZania

• Give your students time to identify and choose the establishments where they want to play

• Identify your interests and preferences to plan the time of your visit and the fun activities you are going to do

• Promote research about KidZania so they know where they are going

• Make together with your students a graphic organizer about what they know and what they want to learn in KidZania about a specific topic to review after the visit

• Help your students ask you questions about the topic or competence to work

• Plan time for your students to freely choose 2 or 3 establishments to which they want to go alone

During the visit

• Observe and record the performance of your students. Remember that in significant learning experiences you are allowed to observe them

• Accompany your students who require it and provide them with the help they need, but do not forget that it is important that they feel free and that they can be alone

• Travel the city to identify the learning potential of your students

• Allow them to unfold freely by KidZania, so you can observe them

• Be flexible, allow them to change their establishment if another interests them more than the one previously planned

• Allow them to explore freely

• Take advantage of the resources we offer to adults within KidZania

After the visit

• Create a space for your students to talk about their experience and reflect together

• Allow them to express their concerns, doubts, comments, feelings, etc. about your visit to KidZania. You can use resources such as drawings, stories, representation, free exposure, etc.

• Go back together to the objectives that you planned for the visit

• Take back the graphic organizer they created and invite them to complete it with what they learned

• Ask them to tell you how they managed their time and their kidZos, you can link it with mathematics and project management

• Reflect with your students on how a city works and link it to work different subjects

• Allow them to self-assess their skills and general competencies

• Identify the interest of your students to develop a project that enriches the experience more. Take them into account in the planning so that they feel motivated

• It is important that you consider landing with your students what happens in a real city and in KidZania, especially with children of 1st and 2nd grade, to differentiate reality from fantasy and thus prevent dangerous situations

• Link together with your students the visit and the issue or problem they want to work on
