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

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.
