We just had Colonial Day
By Alicia G

Clip to ScrapBook   
And here are the things we did:

1. Simple meal (deli chicken, boiled potatoes, a big pot of beans, an apple dessert, authentic cornbread -- no wheat).
2. Stenciled onto plaques.
3. Stamped (big rubber
stamps) onto canvas rectangles (these were "rugs" that we made from "worn out sails").
4. Hornbooks (cut out paddle-shaped pieces of cardboard, glue on a small alphabet, and then cover in contact paper).
5. Had "recitations" of old poems, etc.
6. Had outdoor games: relay races, hide and seek, sack races, hopscotch, leapfrog.
7. And, indoor games: jacks, marbles (indoors
or out), pick up sticks (use straw from an old broom to be authentic), hide the thimble.
8. A dad made "stocks" out of an appliance box. We took turns in it.
9. We had a spelling bee and recited our times tables.
