Let the Grecian Games Begin

I may be taking a break from history, but I'm not dropping our history group.



It's kick off time again. This time we're studying ancient Greece. We mothers created an Olympics type activity for the kids to learn a few things about ancient Greece. They were all separated into city-states, --Athens, Sparta, Megara, Corinth, and Argos.

In these groups they traveled to different stations and learned about....

architecture

stone carving

Gods and Goddess

and a fun physical game...gotta have some blood pumping activity if it's gonna be an Olympic game.

The Sparta team



The Argos team

The Athenians
Working on the Greek Gods and Goddess match up game.

Undoubtedly the cutest little Grecian there

Jumping on one foot between each newspaper roll, on the way back each child had to bend down, while not losing balance and pick up the log, then jump to the next one, pick up the log and proceed back to the beginning with as many logs they could get. If both feet hit the floor, or step on the log you're done with your turn....they had fun! Liam tried , it was cute to watch him try.

Getting ready for closing ceremonies....they all paraded in for the ending of the games, and the crowning event, recieveing their medals. (Sadly, I didn't get a good photo of the kids getting their medals)

Afterwards, it was time for lunch....yummy greek and mediterainan inspired food. Pita bread with falafla and hummus, cucumber sauce, lentil soup, baklava....and so much more!
