What makes İznik trip successful with children is a long monument list, but they are short pauses that are voiced to different senses. Passing from a large sur gate, finding a small object in the museum, watching pattern drawing in the workshop and breaks on the lake coast, in the same day, natural transitions between history, art and nature.
Reduce the program according to age, weather conditions and energy of the group. Stone floors, ladders and open excavation areas may not be suitable to the same extent for every child's car or movement needs; the access status is the safest approach to verify in advance from the corresponding space.
A Observation Game in the Door
Ask children to find different stone colors, giant marble parts and number of passages in Istanbul Gate. Thus, the defense architecture is removed from an abstract date statement, it becomes a puzzle resolved by looking at.
Take hand in the passages with vehicle traffic and choose a safe edge for the game. A start of about twenty minutes is enough to see the details; you don’t have to walk the entire line.
Select a Single Story in the Museum
Set a single theme according to the interest of the child instead of trying to finish each showcase at the İznik Museum: theater, coin, tile production or casual life. Estimate what material is made and what it works.
It is part of the excursion experience to comply with museum rules and protect the distance with works. Keep the visit time short and break in the garden or outdoor area, keep interest in the next stop.
Follow Colors in Chinese Workshop
Follow the contour, painting, glaze and baking queue at Süleyman Pasha Medresesi. Children can draw lale, carnation or geometric motif into a small notepad.
In the workshops that offer practical work, age limit, time, material used and the delivery format of the work in advance. Observe to children who are not the workshop of each shop and should not enter the production area without permission.
Complete the Day on Lake Coast
The beach walk is the free part of the day. Observe birds, coastal stones and change of daylight on water; but according to the current safety conditions of swimming and water approach.
Take water, sun or rain protection and a small snack. It is not failure to cancel a part of the program; it is more persistent than complete the entire list, returning by a detail that children have their own from Iznik.
