A visit to the library.
A big quiet room with a rule about voices, and so many books to choose from. Knowing the quiet rule first helps.

What to expect
The library's main rule, quiet voices, is the part to practice. Knowing we choose a few books and bring them home (and the deal about giving them back later) makes the trip clear and calm.
One tip from a dad who's been there
Many libraries have a sensory-friendly hour or a quieter kids' corner. Ask. Practicing the quiet voice with the printed story before you go makes the rule feel less like a surprise correction.
