Even though we feel that it is impossible to find anything more fun than reciting declensions, we responded to the demands for Latin games with a Grammar School Latin word games course. In this activity book, we’ve stuffed enrichment activities of every kind to help your students learn the vocabulary, grammar, and derivatives presented in the Grammar School Latin course. Students will find hours of enjoyment playing Latin Hangman, solving Latin Crossword puzzles, and competing against each other in Latin Pictionary!

The supplemental book provides activity worksheets for each Grammar School Latin lesson, plus instructions on how to play Latin versions of six popular children’s games.

Life in a Medieval City, by Joseph and Frances Gies. Life in a Medieval City is the classic account of the year 1250 in the city of Troyes, in modern-day France. Acclaimed historians Frances and Joseph Gies focus on a high point of medieval civilization—before war and the Black Death ravaged Europe—providing a fascinating window into the sophistication of a period we too often dismiss as backward. Urban life in the Middle Ages revolved around the home, often a mixed-use dwelling for burghers with a store or workshop on the ground floor and living quarters upstairs. A developed economy, focusing on textiles, farming, and financial services, could be found in the town center, where craftsmen competed for business while adhering to the guilds’ codes of conduct. There were schools for the children, though only boys could attend and the lessons were taught in Latin by a priest. The church was a hub of both religious and civic life; services were lively and filled with song, and baptisms and other special occasions brought neighbors together to celebrate. The weddings of wealthier townsfolk were lavish affairs full of song and dance and drinking that could sometimes last for weeks. 288 pages.

Using the same auditory, frequency, and mastery approach as The Phonetic Zoo, these nine different sets of MP3 spelling and vocabulary lessons by Andrew Pudewa, Dr. James B. Webster, and Maria Gerber will help prepare your student for a wide range of studies. This program is intended for self-directed study, with students independently learning and testing their knowledge. The student begins by listening to the MP3s, which gives him a spelling test. The words are presented and used in a sentence. After the student spells all the words, the correct spelling is given on the MP3 along with the definition of the word. The student takes the same test everyday until he obtains 100% twice in a row before moving onto the next test. Thus, the student can practice spelling and hearing the definition of the words until he achieves mastery. Each module has 4 lessons with 24 words per lesson. This course comes on two CD-ROMs containing all nine modules and a PDF booklet containing full instructions and the list of words and definitions. This complete course includes all nine modules of the Advanced Spelling and Vocabulary course, including: Art & Architecture, Bible & Theology, Business & Economics, Government & Law, Greek & Latin Word Roots, Health & Science, Literature, Music, SAT/ACT.
