We had an abbreviated school day...slept in and then had company in the afternoon. At breakfast we had a mini-lesson about Zacchaeus. In the evening we meet up with our friend Crazy Tanya and her daughter...who is making this really cool scarf out of eyelash yarn....and had 1/2 price appetizers at Applebee's.

To help DS2 prepare for his American Revolution test, we played our game we created called "Revolution". It is basically a trivia game...there is no strategy involved...just have to know the answers! LOL!! We will be adding questions to the game as we work through our history lessons. I guess the name of the game will change as we progress...hmmm...hadn't thought about that! lol!!
The "Common Sense" cards are the questions. You move around the board and gather things to give to Gen. George Washington. Each item is assigned a value. The winner is the person with the most valuable "pile"...we are still making some changes to the rules....overall though, we have fun play the game! |
