Whenever we get off the bus I give the group a time that they must return and board the bus for the next leg of our journey. And when they come back I have to count everyone before we can leave. I have started a procedure whereby all of the people on the bus clap when the last person gets on the bus. Then we can begin. If the last person on the bus is late the applause is louder and more vigorous and sometimes is accompanied by verbal outbursts, everyone laughs and the last person on the bus is slightly embarassed, just enough to try to not be the last person on the bus the next time.
So tonight I made a "trophy" which I will have printed tomorrow. The person who gets recognized as the last person on the bus will take posession of the medallion until the next last one earns it.

Is it a button? Do they have to wear it? Ew!!!
lol....dopey question- do Brits know what 'the clap' means ??? We think its funny, but is it worldwide ?? lolol... (not the 'condition', just the word....
Careful- it might mean something else - maybe something even MORE unmentionable....
Great idea -keep us posted...

Also- I see you got more of the group on the bridge this time ! Good planning ...
OK. What does the badge look like? We want a preview of it. What happens when you go to another state?
I am totally cracking up Alice! LOVE the whole concept!
They are going to love it! Keep up the good work - pretty soon none of them will get off the bus, and you can do the tour in two days instead of a week.
