History Party

Last night we held our annual family history party.  For the past year we have been studying the middle ages.  The kids dressed up as a favorite person from that time period.  They came up with their own costumes and props.

William Shakespeare

a knight

Lady Macbeth

Courtney's and Alisa's kids dressed as Henry XIII and his 6 wives. 

Ephram didn't want to dress-up.  Faythe is Bloody Mary.

After dinner we had a trivia game--kids versus adults.  I put it together so I didn't play.  The kids beat the adults by 7 points (51 to 44).  We were all impressed at how well the kids remembered (particularly Katia). 

The game was set-up kind of like Jeopardy--pick a letter and a number. 
The bigger numbers were harder questions (usually).

Before we even started the game the kids were singing "We Will Rock You" by Queen. 
They were pretty confident.

The adults.

Me as the MC

It was a fun night.  I'm lucky to be able to teach and learn with these families.  The kids are already talking about next year's party.
