A family is visiting Columbia, SC and wants to plan their day by choosing between activities like going to a museum, the zoo, a play, eating out, or having a picnic. They decide to start at the University of South Carolina and then go to the nearby McKissick Museum, followed by the EdVenture Children's Museum, and end their day with a picnic back at USC. They choose activities based on proximity and what would be most enjoyable for the whole family.

In Columbia, SC

2. Where do we go?
Here we are in Columbia, SC. Your family is
visiting and you want to show them a good
time. So, we have some decisions to make.
Are we going to have a picnic or go out to
eat? Should we go to a museum or to the
zoo or to see a play? What should we do?
When should we do each thing? How do
we get to each place?

3. You are here

4. Planning our day
• We don’t want to drive too much so we want
to try to stay walking distance for each thing
that we do. We also want to have a good time
so if we need to take a long walk or a short
drive, it should be ok.
• Help us to plan and map out our day after we
meet at the University of South Carolina.
