My Trip to the Children’s Museum of Illinois I am going to the Children’s’ Museum of Illinois. The Children’s Museum of Illinois is so much fun. I can play with many different toys and activities. When I get to the museum, I will have to wait for an adult to pay. After we are finished paying, I can hang my coat in the closet. Then it will be time for me to explore the museum! I need to remember to stay with an adult when I am exploring the museum. There are so many exhibits at the Children’s Museum of Illinois. An exhibit is a room that has a lot of activities about one topic. I can try to play with these fun activities in the exhibits. When I am playing in an exhibit, I need to remember to share all of the activities with the other children. It is important to walk from one exhibit to the next. The people who work at Children’s Museum of Illinois walk around the exhibits to make sure everyone is safe. If I need help, I should ask one of the workers with a shirt or name tag with the Children’s Museum of Illinois logo.
