Highland Games

This month for co-op, I was in charge of our party. I chose to tell the story of the Scottish Covenanters and celebrate with some Highland Games.

While telling the story, we ate yummy shortbread cookies. We then had a clan call, where everyone who had Scottish ancestry had their clan named announced and we all cheered. It was fun and we were able to participate with our Bruce name. Finally we divided into classes and had stations of different Highland Games

Caber Toss using pool noodles instead of giant logs.

Shot put with balloons.

Sister Eldrege told us a Scottish fairy tale while the kids colored their own tartan designs.

Tug-O-War - the kids had a great time with this one.

But the favorite station by far was sword fighting. This kids really got into this. Enoch was quite good at it with his extra long arms. Kate and Carson Norwood had an awesome battle. And Guard just loved it all!

When the rotations were over, we all met back in the gym for the epic sword fight. All the kids had so much fun!

It was a really good day. We love our co-op!
