Abstract. The word "excursion" comes from the Latin word "excursio". An excursion is a form of organization of the educational process, aimed at mastering the educational material, but carried out outside the school. If the whole class participates in the field trip and the field trip material is closely related to the scientific program, this becomes a form of teamwork. It is included in the system of lessons and is an important part of the educational process. In addition, an excursion can be a form of extracurricular activity if it is conducted with a separate, most interested group of students. This article contains thoughts and opinions about organizing excursions for elementary school students in order to consolidate their knowledge.
