We Have A Winner! Castle "Daze"


We were all happy to find out that the judges picked ten winners out of the over 100 castles made for castle days. Princess number five was a winner over all and then they had a few "class favorites chosen. The history teacher picked a few of her favorites that were historically accurate. I took photos of some of our favorites to share with you to give you an idea of what they had.



It was nice as they had students sign up in shifts for different activities and invited the whole family to come and have fun.



For the younger children they had face painting and crown making. They had large replica's of the type of carts used during that time. They had a stage and had students sign up to perform. We enjoyed singing while we viewed the castles.




They decorated the ceilings with "flags" or "Crests" made by the kids. All in all, they did a great job and by the looks of the castles, the kids really put some work into them.





I really think this would be a great Family reunion activity. Each "Family" unit could make their own "Crest" or flag for the reunion. They could make the castles while there. It would be great for "Knights of Freedom," Boy or Girl scouts, an activity day, primary children activity, achievement days, home school group activity, young men or woman activity or girls camp theme and activity or, just an activity for each member of your family. Having them dress up or make paper bag vests could be fun also.





I was happy taking this last photo of her with her winning prizes knowing I was through with this phase of life with her being the youngest and now able to focus on other things....




Like this weeks focus, elections campaigns, drill tryouts, Easter camping, service missions to Kenya and the like! Is your house as crazy as mine? Isn't it great!
