We like to learn history the fun way! The Middle Ages is no exception!
Every time we study the Middle Ages we build a castle of cardboard boxes, practice archery, spend a day at a “monastery”, and host a Medieval Feast for all our friends.
Here are the highlights of our recent Medieval Banquet.
The King of the Medieval Feast was the oldest guy in the co-op and his queen was the youngest girl.
We invited the whole church and everyone signed up for the event. Part of the sign-up process included what each family would bring to eat and how each family member would dress. There were several choices for everyone to dress up: peasant, monk, nun, friar, hunchback, lord, lady, duke, duchess, knight, troubadour, and town crier. We had a wide variety.
We enjoyed a jousting demonstration followed by jousting with pool noodles.
The wee ones enjoyed finding dragons (we hid toy dinosaurs).
Set Up
We set everything up outside.
The only banquet table we used was the head table for the king, queen, crown prince, and crown princess. We set up card tables on each side of a pathway, leaving enough room for our processional.
The fanciest table was the head table. The card tables closest to the head table (above the salt) were for the nobles and decorated to be elegant without surpassing the head table. The peasant tables were quite plain.
Processional
Of course, we had to have a grand entrance. The processional was a magnificent affair with all the nobles, knights, and church officials involved. The peasants applauded.
Our queen, princess, and other ladies of noble birth were absolutely lovely in their medieval outfits (suggestions for outfits and patterns for head coverings available in Let’s Have our Own Medieval Banquet).
Menu
One year, we tried to make a “wild boar” out of meatloaves. Okay, I know that sounds crazy and they “wild boar” ended up looking like Alf.
This year we had several roasted chickens, round bread loaves, rolls, cheese chunks, grapes, strawberries, raw veggies, dip, and grape juice.
Of course the food taster had to sample the king and queen’s food first.
Resource
If you are interested in having your own Medieval Banquet, Laura Nolette and I have put together a step-by-step guide so that you can put together your own event as simple as possible.
We believe that history should be fun. What could be more fun than attending or hosting your own Middle Ages Feast? This great resource, Let’s Have Our Own Medieval Banquet is available in print at Amazon. The E-book is available at PayHip, TeachersPayTeachers, and right here on this site.
Have you ever had a Middle Ages Feast? What things did you do? Please share in the comments below.

The Lord created animals of all kinds: flying creatures, swimming creatures, and land animals. Each animal is fascinating in its own way.

Here are some awesome ways to visit all kinds of birds, animals, and swimming creatures.

We are learning every moment.
The question is: what are we learning?
I want to cultivate a sense of wonder and curiosity in my children. I put things in their pathway like classical music, educational placemats, or a coffee table book of Impressionist paintings. This allows my children to pick things up, observe, and ask questions if and when they want to.
Yes, I do formal teaching, but I also try to sprinkle their lives full of opportunities to ask questions and wonder.
We fell in love with educational placemats when our children were little. I just happened to pick up a USA map placemat on sale and little did I know how much it would impact my children. I had to get a second one so they each could eat off their very own map.
When they were quite young, my children learned about numbers, A-B-Cs, USA states and capitals, and the periodic table (long before we studied chemistry) while they ate their breakfast cereal and sandwich for lunch.
There is something fun about a placemat that is bright and colorful that captures the imagination of a child. When its educational, it makes learning fun!
In our home, educational placemats jump-started curiosity.
Now, I’m a grandmother and my two little grandsons sit at my Nana’s old table and eat when they visit. And I have pulled out the colorful, cheery placemats their mommy enjoyed. Now, they enjoy them, too.
Of course, I’ve been shopping for new placemats and I thought I’d share what I’ve found with you.
These placemats would make a great addition to your homeschooling and lunchtime fun.
Time to Learn Numbers
Isn’t this cute? This is so bright and cheery! You can purchase Little Wigwam Numbers Placemat at Amazon.
Let’s Learn the Alphabet While We Eat
There are two Alphabet placemats that I really like! The Little Wigwam Alphabet Placemat has numbers on one side and letters on the front. You can purchase at Amazon. NewSpaceView Natural Learning Children’s Placemat has letters and colors on the front and numbers and shapes on the back. That’s a lot in one placemat and you can purchase it on Amazon.
Discover Money While You Eat Your Cereal
Most kids are fascinated by money! The Uncle Wu Kids Placemat Toddlers Learning about US Dollars Placemat is a little too old for a toddler, I think. However, younger elementary children will love it and learn a lot while they eat breakfast. You can purchase it on Amazon.
Learn All About the Seasons at Lunch
I love this Tot Talk Seasons Placemat! It even has months listed! You can purchase this adorable placemat at Amazon.
Learn about Nutrition While We Eat
The farm scene is so cute on this Tot Talk Food Groups & Vitamins Educational Placemat for Kids. I love the colors and the creative way nutrition is shared on the back. This placemat will be great for older kids, too! You can purchase it at Amazon!
Enjoy the Periodic Table Long Before Chemistry
I used a similar placemat with my own kids when they were little, but I like this one even better! You can purchase the Tot Talk Periodic Table of Elements Educational Placemat for Kids at Amazon.
Math Placemat Set
This is a painless way to supplement your children’s math studies. 5 different mats with Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, and Fractions! You can purchase Merka Kids Placemats Educational Placemat Non Slip Math Set at Amazon.
Homeschool Resource
Don’t forget that learning is a lifestyle. Make the most of every opportunity to cultivate curiosity and wonder in your child’s heart and mind.
We started homeschooling in 1991 and had a blast! With all five of my children graduated now, I love homeschooling so much, I still teach in our church’s homeschool co-op. My oldest daughter is homeschooling her little ones and the others want to as well.
I love the lifestyle of learning homeschooling allows us to experience.

Children and all those young at heart love a good story, especially if that story has lovely illustrations to go with it! Picture books are a perfect addition to any home school library.
A classic well-written, beautifully illustrated picture book is an investment in a child’s future.
You see, lovely books stir up a love of reading in children. Cuddling on the lap of a parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle builds tender memories that lead to years of reading enjoyment.
Reading picture books together is not just great for intellectual growth, but it helps to form emotional bonds between the reader and the listener. Years of reading excellent classic books is the most effective way to raise a reader.
Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff is a fun book book to read aloud for Mom and even more fun to listen to. If you open this book, prepare to laugh together and make sweet memories. You can purchase If You Give a Mouse a Cookie at Amazon.
The Little Engine that Could by Watty Piper
One of my favorites! The Little Engine that Could by Watty Piper has a timeless message that children need to hear. In fact, adults need to hear it, too. I have my children read this little picture book in my economics course when they study how to start a business. Anyway, the story is about a train that breaks down on its way to deliver toys and gifts for little girls and boys. The situation forces a timid little blue train to take over.

Imagine walking into your church and seeing a guillotine on the far wall. Or what about seeing your Christian friends wearing little electric chairs around their necks on pretty silver chains.
Sounds weird, doesn’t it?
Like a hangman’s noose, the cross was a way to punish evil. Criminals hung on Roman cross, suffering the ultimate torture.
If you lived back in Jesus’ day and saw a cross, it would make you shudder. You would involuntarily shudder.
So how did this symbol of torture and death become a popular symbol in all of Christendom?
Jesus, the Perfect One, fully God and fully Man, was wrongfully arrested, tortured, and murdered. An innocent man died. But, hasn’t that happened before?
Well no. Because this was not what we call an innocent man. This was the Holy One, the Messiah, God come in the flesh. He took on all our sin and suffered the wrath of God, the punishment our sins deserved.
So, the horrible thing, the cross was where our freedom was purchased. And so when we look at the cross, we see forgiveness, debts paid, mercy, grace, and an opportunity to be born-again.
The horrible cross became the beautiful cross and forever is our symbol of hope and freedom! God transformed something scary into something comforting and beautiful.
You may feel that your life is full of tragedy, brokenness, and rebellion. However, just as God transformed the cross into a beautiful thing, Jesus can transform you into something beautiful. You can be redeemed from hell and death, changed from the inside out.
It’s so easy.
Just repent and believe.
Repent. Stop heading in the direction you are heading. Ask forgiveness for your rebellion and sins. Receive His forgiveness.
Believe. Believe that Jesus paid the price for your sin on the cross. Surrender your life to him. He will give you a new heart and live inside you by the power of the Holy Spirit.
And then, like the cross, you will be transformed. Forever.
God bless you.
Love,
Meredith Curtis

What’s so GOOD about Good Friday, I often wondered as a child, sitting in church on Good Friday. Why did everyone call “good” a day where Jesus died.
I liked Jesus as a child. I loved the way He healed and forgave. I listened in wonder to His teachings when the Gospel was read.
On Good Friday I cried and cried, even though I knew Easter was coming. I just couldn’t understand Good Friday.
Fast-forward to my teenage years after a terrible accident left me trembling in pain alone in the ICU crying out to God for mercy, for relief. Then I realized. God had chosen pain for me. He had made a choice to go to the cross. I would never choose pain for anyone, I decided. But especially not for someone who was going my own way, living for my own glory.
In the hospital bed, I gave my life to Christ and in the weeks and months to follow I voraciously read the Bible. In the Scriptures, I learned something amazing. I discovered that Jesus took my place and paid the penalty for my sin on the cross, that the wrath of God against my sin was poured out on Innocent Jesus. Like a Lamb to the slaughter, Jesus willingly endured the pain, the cross. He died for me. Suddenly, it made sense why Good Friday was good.
Paul sums it up: “And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach– if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister” (Colossians 1:21-23 NASB).
So, now because of the cross, I am reconciled to God, no longer destined to suffer His wrath because His anger against my sin was poured out on Jesus as He hung on the cross.
Thank You, Lord for Good Friday!
May you be blessed this Easter season with an awakening in your soul, an understanding of two historical events: Jesus’ Death & His Resurrection. God bless you.
Love,
Meredith Curtis
