度过一个形式多样、内容丰富、意义深远、心情舒畅的假期生活，是所有家长和学生的共同愿望。国外学生的度假方式，或许能为我们带来一定的启示。

法国：到工厂学做葡萄酒

法国中小学生的假期很多，学校和学生家长都十分重视学生假期中的生活和玩耍，旅游是法国学生假期生活的一个重要项目。

　 法国的学校和家长组织孩子参加旅游度假非常注重教育目的，而不仅仅考虑消遣和玩耍。目前，法国各地兴起了工业旅游的高潮，即各地的工厂企业经过一些技术准备，每年假期接待参观者，其中有相当一部分是学生。比如，法国葡萄酒十分有名，在国际上享有盛誉，因此不少中小学校利用假期，组织学生到法国西部或南部的葡萄酒产地进行工业旅游，对法兰西民族的历史和传统进行具体和形象的了解。

　　 美国：到社区做义工

　　 美国中小学的寒假时间很短，一般只有10天时间，但大多数学生还是选择寒假来完成或他们的义务服务工作。

　　 美国12岁以上的青少年中有60%以上的人参加过各种义务服务活动，如在当地的流浪者收留中心为无家可归的人做饭，或油漆陈旧的建筑物等。有的学生喜欢远走中美洲国家做义工，但更多的青少年则愿意选择家乡作为义务服务的场所。据一家医院的管理人员说，他们那里的义工25%是由青少年组成的，医院已离不开他们的帮助了。

　　 德国：到农庄亲近自然

　　 据统计，德国人每三天就有一天休息，学生的假期更多，他们每年享受的各类假日加起来约有150天。

　　 德国学生假期的主要活动是到国外去旅行，经费大多靠自己的平时打工解决，因此他们在旅行途中十分节俭，对食宿的要求也不高，行李只是一个背囊。其中，一日游性质的外出旅行是德国中小学生参加较多的旅行活动，它们大都以亲近大自然为主题。组织这类活动时，学校出动的老师很多，除了班级负责老师及有关学科的专业老师外，大都要再增加几名辅导员并配有专门的医生，以保障安全。
