Depending on the ages of the children, a hunting game can be
interesting.  See who can find the most names by the alphabet; the
most number of symbols such as American Legion, Grange, etc. or find
specific names such your most noted graves.  We have done similar
"hunts" with children in our art museum.  They love going through the
galleries, looking at the description cards of each painting and
cheering when they find the ones on their hunt list.
