✈️ Editable Holiday Social Story Template

Help your child feel prepared, reassured and more confident about their upcoming holiday with this editable holiday social story template.

Designed especially for autistic children and other children who benefit from visual supports, this downloadable Canva template guides your child through every stage of their holiday in a clear, predictable and child-friendly way.

The story includes prompts to personalise:

• 🌞 Where you’re going
• 📅 The dates of your trip
• 🧳 What to pack
• 🚗 Travelling to the airport
• ✈️ What to expect at the airport and on the plane
• 🏨 Arriving at your destination
• 🎉 Activities and new experiences
• 🏡 Returning home

Because every family and every holiday is different, you can easily edit the text and add your own names, photos and details to create a social story that’s unique to your child. Making the story personal helps make new experiences feel more familiar and meaningful.

For many autistic children, changes to routine, unfamiliar places and unexpected events can feel overwhelming. Preparing for these changes in advance with a personalised social story can help your child understand what to expect, provide reassurance and support smoother transitions into new experiences.

💛 Perfect for children who:

• Find transitions difficult
• Feel anxious about changes to routine
• Benefit from visual supports
• Like knowing what will happen next
• Are preparing for a family holiday
