Middle Ages Project
We
have been studying the Middle Ages with a small group of homeschoolers
from our church this spring. It has been a lot of fun and we are now
approaching our final gathering. We are bringing all our projects to
display and have invited the dad's to join us over the lunch hour. It
started as something simple...but now we have decided to do a full
blown extravaganza! We are going to be having a Medieval Festival!
The kids each got to pick what type of character they wanted to be. My
daughter wants to be a princess/merchant/dancer! LOL!!! Why not!
So my dd is making crochet chains to be sold as Medieval belts. The
mom's decided that our currency was going to be in Starburst candies.
The kids thought that was even better than real money! My dd and
another girl are sharing a merchant booth where they will be
knitting/crocheting and then taking a break to dance some! Too cute!!!
My ds of course wants to be a knight! The boys who are knights are
setting up a tournament of sorts with jousting and archery and chess (I
think!). They will be "jousting" from scooters with wrapping paper
rolls! This should prove to be very entertaining!
All the moms are making baked goods for the food booths and we all have
to come up with some sort of costume! It is going to be a fantastic way
to end our unit study of the Middle Ages! I love letting the creative
juices flow!!! The kids are so excited and inspired! Yippeee! I LOVE
HOMESCHOOLING!!! I'll make sure to take some pictures so you all can
see how much fun we had!
