Before Your Visit

Share the pre-visit video (above) with any K–12 classroom or use the Field Trip Prep lesson plans (below) to introduce your students to the Walker. These will help them feel prepared and excited for their visit. The Social Narrative is another helpful tool for younger students and students who may feel nervous about the field trip.
