We just finished our study of Rome. Tanner had to miss our Roman culture day we did with friends due to sickness, so we improvised at home! Here are a few more things we did to bring this ancient culture to life:
Learning about, and then tasting the Mediterranean triad (olive oil, which the carrots were cooked in, grapes, and wheat, made into flat bread here!)
Learning to play Knucklebones, a common game Ancient Roman kids played. The boys loved this game, it is very similar to jacks.
Tanner made a lapbook to display some of the things he has learned about Rome. Lapbooks are a great way for kids to show what they learned about a certain subject and make for a fun way to organize all their work.
We also added a few mini murals to our timeline as we went. Hannibal crossing the Alps during the Punic Wars, the birth of Jesus, Attila the Hun attacks Rome, and Mount Vesuvius erupts. Hunter likes to help with these murals, that is why we have a firefighter flying up to Mt. Vesuvius to put out the fire! Very creative and thoughtful.
