That s why I am so religious and love old, beautiful churches. At the end of the unit, we had a big Medieval Fair, where we sold products, ate food, and played games similar to those in the Middle Ages. We all formed groups, called guilds, to design and make something to sell at the Fair. In the Middle Ages, guilds were groups of people who had the same profession or occupation. A friend and I formed a Milliners Guild.
Milliners are people who make hats.
We used cloth, sequins, ribbons, and old cereal boxes to make our hats. Some of the other items people sold were beef jerky, candy, friendship bracelets, plants, herbal tea, shields, and root beer. In addition, some people did plays or puppet shows. We were all required to make our own costumes and lunches. I think the Medieval Fair was a great way to learn about the Middle Ages and have a really interesting experience at the same time.
