Jared talked about many of the medieval weapons that were used including bows, swords, daggers, lances, poleaxes, battleaxes, etc. He made a whole box of weapons out of wood and cardboard to show what they might have looked like and their uses.
Amber and Krystal worked together on a diorama of King Arthur's castle and the Knights of the Round Table.
Clarissa's presentation was about the games that children played during medieval times. After her report, the whole group participated in some of the games such as: Cobbler, Cobbler, Where's my Shoe? In this picture, Amber has the shoe and is hiding it from Clarissa. All the children pass the shoe around while the rhyme is being said and when it's done the person in the middle has to guess who has the shoe.
Another game was Oranges and Lemons which is a way to pick teams. At the end, the two teams play Tug of War against each other.
And the last game, perfect for a Fall day, was bobbing for apples. Most of the kids really enjoyed getting all wet trying to get their apple.
Grandpa enjoyed the presentations and seeing what all of the other children talked about as well. Then at the end, he got to participate in a little medieval reenactment using medieval weapons. Michael, my friend's nephew, makes medieval armor and weaponry to use in reenactments so he had fun giving my dad some tips and pointers.
