Roman Age

The Roman Age may feel as huge as the Colosseum so pace yourself. There is clearly too much information and too many activities to do in just two hours. Think about your own child and how much information they will be able to tolerate. Don't worry that you aren't being thorough; you can't. Do what you can and what appeals to you.

A real crowd pleaser is the Gladiator Challenge. The idea of becoming a citiczen because of something you did is very exciting to kids. Resist the tempation to give out awards for every child to make it fair. It's not supposed to be fair. While this activity is really fun, I don't advise it for older grades who are building cities. They won't have time.
