We wrapped up our study on Knights and Castles. Our study included a lapbook. Which we accompanied our Bible study with --- Armor of God using The Amor of God (A Children's Scripture Study) by David Walters.
Books I used in this unit study were:
If You Lived In The Days Of The Knights by Ann McGovern
Ms. Frizzle's Adventure's Medieval Castle by Bruce Degen
National Geographic Kids Everything Castles by Crispin Boyer
I printed off The Armor of God coloring pages and used them in our daily Bible lessons.
I also uploaded the following apps on my iPad to go with this lesson:
Knights Castle
Math Castle Lite
Castle Puzzles
Finally out of 2 paper towel tubes and 2 toilet paper tubes my son painted brown and staples in the underside of the tubes formed a castle. Then cut out the top of the longer pieces making the square shape pattern, then cutting out a door, drawing castle windows and adding a toothpick flag at the top.
With blocks and their kit from (SquareOne Kids) they made their own castle creations.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blog, but I wish you'd add the blogger "subscribe by e-mail" button. I can never keep up with my favorite blogs with just the Google, Twitter, and FB follow tools. I like to follow a few of my favorites by e-mail. Let me know if you decide to add it. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I saw this last night! I was stuck trying to find a craft for my scouts. They would have LOVED this!

ReplyDeleteI love the castle with the toilet paper and paper towel rolls! How creative!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! The best way to learn is through natural interests so I love that you ran with the knight theme and made it fun while also educational. :)
