Extra Fun Tour Activities
When booking a guided tour for your group, you have the opportunity to participate in a special activity if time allows. Each activity is designed with different age groups and interests in mind and should last between 15 and 20 minutes.
The History of Amendments, Civil Rights, and Voting — Students are challenged with understanding the importance of voting and what it means when certain groups are not given that right. Two will be chosen as public speaking volunteers in which they will represent candidates presenting two different sides of an issue. Then, everyone will get the opportunity to vote.
Head To Head — Students will work together to make group decisions. They will practice their discussion and persuasion skills before voting which “winner” will progress to the next round. Two possible topics: “Which food is most unique to Louisiana?” or “Who influenced Louisiana Culture More?”
Please contact our Education Coordinator, Ashley Franklin for more information or call 225 – 342-0500.
