Teach juggling? (seriously, it's mathematical, scientific, and fun)  You
can take used tennis balls, cut a tiny slit, put in a tablespoon or two
of coarse sand or fine gavel and then glue the slit shut with Shoe Goo
(TM) or other flexible adhesive.  This makes the ball heavy enough to be
a good juggling ball and keeps it from bouncing too far away.  Klutz has
a good book for learning, but ther are also a ton of websites, etc.  I
can vouch for the fact that a poor juggler can still teach juggling.

We have something of a small museum, but it is well visited by the
schools, 
espcially for special programs. The programs often get scheduled with
class 
visits15-30 minutes apart. Since a program usually takes all the room in
the 
museum, it's about the size of a basketball court, the next class is
often 
left waiting outside. Any suggestions on what we could to do to engage
the 
waiting class?
