Abstract

This paper presents an investigation questioning how to enhance primary school age children’s learning and engagement in a guided tour of a Museum. Preliminary studies indicated playful activity during a tour enhanced the interaction between the guide and the children. Building on this is an in-depth enquiry involving totally 48 children visiting the Viking Museum in Ribe, Denmark’s oldest town. Conclusions highlight how ‘moments of play’,designed as integral milestones of a Museum guided tour, act as a catalyst to augment, enhance and indicate children’s learning and engagement.
