After the Smith Olympics, each "Greek God" (haha) was awarded with an olive leaf crown (as was customary in the Ancient Olympics) and medals for the sport that he triumphed in!! The boys also got to do victory laps or whatever kind of celebration they wanted to celebrate their acheivement!!
I checked out two really great books from the library called Classical Kids: An Activity Guide to Ancient Greece and Rome and Ancient Greece! 40 Hands - On Activities To Experience This Wondrous Age. These books had some really great ideas in them. One of the ideas was to have children write the greek alphabet. I was very nervous about having the boys write the alphabet because I thought it would be too complicated. However, as you can see, they did GREAT!!
The above picture is of Cooper's copy of the greek alphabet and this picture is of Carter's greek alphabet! I am hoping that learning the greek alphabet will help them if they join a fraternity later on in life!! Maybe they will remember a little of it!!
