If you’ve ever tried to go to a museum with a child, you know it isn’t an easy task to keep them entertained. One way to help them focus is to ask them questions about the exhibits. These questions help the kids make connections with what they’re seeing and keep them engaged.

Mara Gorman at The Mother of All Trips explains:

How are their clothes different or the same? If it’s a family portrait, how are the family members interacting with each other?
