Dear Kathy, 

What if you engaged multiple senses as you went around your galleries?  Look at what you will be talking about and figure out how to engage the senses of sight, sound, smell, touch, and maybe even taste would go with what you are speaking about due in your tour.  This will help create a fuller experience for all involved.

I was hoping someone might have suggestions about activities to make the tour engaging or interesting for the students. We're a history museum and sometimes the tour can get a little heavy on facts and figures.
