Medieval Feast
By Beth

Hi Sarah
I am planning a faire for early spring. I ran one last year with great success. Use Proteacher to search Medieval Times and about halfway down the list of recommended sites, one will turn up for a Medieval Faire.
It is quite lengthy. If you can't find it I can check the url at school tomorrow.
To prepare I had my kids learn a line dance - very simple, and we set it to Celtic music. A Celtic cd makes a nice backdrop to the faire or feast.
We did not do the tables and meal but rather, as per the document I downloaded, the students had roles and set up a booth where they peddaled

their wares. This requires a lengthy explanation but assured, the kids loved it.

We had a lord and lady, a dubbing ceremony, a jester, a few singers, a bagpiper and some gymnastics for entertainment. These were all prepared by the students.
Everyone received a drama/dance, social studies and language mark. The language mark came from a journal they prepared where they recorded their character's life story and their preparations for and participation in the fair. It was all quite fun. Parents loved it.
Let me know what else you need to know.
Ps. I would never do the feast after having done the fair. The faire was so much fun!
