Germany in the past. What fun! Well, we have encountered some resistance when presenting the history facts of Germany (ahem! i am trying to forget the numerous yawns during my presentation) and children did not warm up to Charlemagne much. We did draw some meaningful parallels with Benedict about the passion for education and over all progress of the society so not all was lost after all.
For snacks we ate Kartofel latke (yes, we made the name up!) for snack. Only kids who could pronounce the world Kartofel (German for potato) were eligible for second helping.
If the history part was not a big hit we made it all up with the German dance. It was a major hit with kids with all that clapping and tapping to the yodel music. We topped that off with really beautiful craft activity where we made natural fires out of stones, twigs and colored paper. Another successful summer camp day indeed! We are happy and we are having tons of fun :)
