Here is your checklist.
Maps
Can you find Europe on a world map? Europe is made up of lots of countries. You can listen to this song to hear which countries are located there. You can also watch this video to see famous landmarks that people love to travel to see.
Watch this!
We are studying Europe this month. Europe is where castles are. There aren’t a lot of kings and queens anymore, but the castles are still there. Watch this video to learn about castles.
Create!
Can you create your own castle? You can use Legos, cardboard, graham crackers, or anything else you can think of. You may want to add battlements, turrets, drawbridge and a moat. I wonder if you can find a way to show the people who lived and worked in the castle.
Cooking and Manners
In class we are going to have a fancy tea party like they have in Europe. They have tea parties a lot! Can you make a tea party food to share with our class? Tea party food is can be little cookies, bite size fruit, or sandwiches cut into little pieces. Have your mom, dad or big brother or sister help you decide what to make. It would be fun to make something where you had to follow a recipe!
Manners are always important but especially so at a tea party. Can you watch this video so you know how to be a polite guest? Here’s a funny storybook you can watch on manners as well.
Gather a costume
If you lived in Europe in the time of Kings and Queens what job would you like in the castle? The King? The Princess? A Knight? The Jester? The Cook? A servant? Choose and gather a costume to wear to the tea party.
Have a movie party!
