Going on a trip is very fun! Packing your bag is the first part of the trip. Here are simple steps to help you pack like a pro.

  1. Make a List. Write down what you need. You will need clothes, shoes, and a toothbrush. Check your list so you do not forget anything.

  2. Find a Bag. Pick a bag that is easy for you to move. A bag with wheels is a great choice! Make sure the zippers work.

  3. Roll Your Clothes. Do not fold your shirts. Roll them up like a little sleeping bag! This saves space and keeps your clothes neat.

  4. Use Small Bags. You can put socks in one small bag and shirts in another. This keeps your suitcase tidy.

  5. Heavy Things Go First. Put heavy things like shoes and books at the bottom of the bag. This stops the bag from tipping over.

  6. Fill the Holes. If you see empty spots, tuck your socks or underwear inside. This uses all the space in the bag.

  7. Pack Your Soap. Put your soap, shampoo, and toothbrush in a plastic bag. This way, if they leak, your clothes will stay dry.
