               Dress up in togas.  Put on a belt then put a length of sheeting over the left
               shoulder and tuck the corner into the belt.  Wrap the other end round the back,

               up and under the right arm and over the left shoulder. Pin in place.









               Activity 2

               Melt the wax of a candle on a tin-foil dish then pour it over a wooden or card
               slate.  Let it set, then let the children use knitting needles to write their names
               in the wax.


               Activity 3

               Play ‘Jacks’ using five stones.  Put four on the ground then toss one stone and

               while it is in the air, try to pick up another stone.  Hold this stone in your hand
               while you toss the first stone again and try to pick up another stone.  This is
               continued until all the stones are in your hand.  Reverse the game by putting
               one stone down at a time whilst throwing another in the air.


               Activity 4

               Try writing with pens and ink.  A menu could be written for a banquet on a scroll

               of paper.  Reference books will be needed to gather ideas for suitable food.





               Activity 5

               Juggle with three balls.  Stand three children a triangle, each with a ball.  On a
               signal, each one throws it to the next child who tries to catch it and throw the

               ball at the same time.
