Latin II students researched Roman amusements and contests at the end of the 1st Quarter, and many of them opted for a form-meets-function presentation of their investigation, and turned their presentations into a range of board games for the class. Hoping some of these will get a second debut at the World Languages Holiday Celebration on Thursday, Dec. 8th!

| Circus Maximus Grey's Circus Maximus board game and trivia had us learning about Roman horse-races in a 2-team head-to-head competition. |

| Time for licensing with Milton-Bradley? Eric's reinvention of the classic Monopoly board made use of many clever substitutions, such as Roman aqueducts and baths in place of the typical "public utilities." |
I love this activity! Do have a lesson plan for this assignment you would be willing to share. If so could you send it to me at ldbolay@yahoo.com.
