It is a good list, maybe something about not shining white flashlights into people's eyes.

I volunteered to give a pre-star party etiquette briefing to a group of K-6 students and their parents, and was going over my notes regarding things that the little tykes and their parents need to know to help make an evening of star gazing more enjoyable for both the kids and adults.
Outside of the obvious things like the meaning of "NO" and "STOP", I am at a loss and therefore appeal to the wisdom of the group for further insight as to what else I might say that will help make this event a success. Here is what I have so far:
Watch where you're walking. Look with your eyes, not your hands. Don't touch anything. No running, yelling, shoving or fighting. Stay in line, be still and keep quiet. We'll be watching and if we see anyone with their fingers in their nose, they won't be allowed to look throught the telescopes.
This should take care of the parents, now what should I tell the kids??? ;)
