Upon Arrival
Each class is greeted by a Hall of Fame staff person and given a brief presentation (approximately 45 minutes). The presentation topic will depend upon the program selection.

 

PROGRAM: The Story of Pro Football - This program examines the “museum concept” brought to life through the use of our priceless artifacts and historical documents, which illustrates the museum approach of conveying the history of pro football through artifacts/documents. There is also a discussion on Northeast Ohio's historic ties to pro football and why the Hall of Fame is located in Canton, Ohio. There is a 10-minute Hall of Fame video shown during this program. The 50-minute program, which is designed to be highly interactive, is supplemented by a lesson aligned with national standards of education and is recommended for K-12. - See more at: http://www.profootballhof.com/hall/ProgramSelectionsMaterials.aspx#sthash.ZXj5qxJw.dpuf

 

After the Program
At the conclusion of the presentation the group is released to the general supervision of the attending teachers and chaperons. The tour is self-guided as students tour the museum and answer their field trip questionnaires.

Field Trip Questionnaires
Each student will receive a field trip questionnaire, to be completed while touring the building. The Hall of Fame also supplies pencils to the students. The questionnaires are designed to encourage students to interact with the Hall's colorful and exciting exhibits while practicing such critical thinking skills as comparing, hypothesizing, evaluating and conceptualizing. Questionaires are grade appropriate.
