About This Worksheet
Museums keep special things from art and history so we can learn from them. A paper museum trip helps children understand what museums hold and how to behave there.
Children sort exhibits into art and history, tick quiet museum behaviour, match museum shadows, guide a visitor to the exit, find words such as art, vase, bone, map and statue, tick bigger art, choose museum items, draw a museum painting, find the odd one out and circle museum items versus grocery items.
