Use this guide as you take your
students around the site. It contains questions and facts about the
structures and the pioneer way of life that will help your students
gain a deeper understanding about the history presented at the NRHC.

Pre-K - 1
Where's Joe-Jack
Rabbit
Located in one of the historic structures is the official
mascot of the NRHC, Joe-Jack Rabbit. The students will be presented with
the challenge of finding Joe-Jack Rabbit on their visit. Once they find
him, they will be able to turn in a form at the front desk with their
name, address and location of Joe-Jack Rabbit. All participants will be
entered into a drawing for a chance to win a prize. This activity will
keep younger visitors focused throughout their tour of the NRHC.

Grades 2 - 3
Interactive Heritage Hunt
The NRHC will offer the opportunity for your students to complete
activities at selected structures. This interactive hunt corresponds
with the teacher-led inquiry. This activity requires advance notice to
ensure all supplies are available. Tour groups must be broken into teams
of 10 or less with an adult supervising each team. All activities are
aligned with the TEKS.
