Translate a Museum Exhibit Label Into Something You Would Actually Explain to a Ten Year Old
The label says the object dates from a period and served a ceremonial purpose, and the child next to you has already wandered off to the gift shop. This finds the one genuinely interesting fact, turns it into something you could actually say out loud, and gives you a question that gets them looking again.
