The idea of a Star Wars week was very quick to come to the fore and the children have been planning this for soooooooo long.
I was asked what we would be doing for Star Wars week and these are the plans we came up with:
The Star Wars Saga ~Prequel Trilogy and Star Wars Trilogy
Also Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the TV Series
Books to read or look at are:
Star Wars: The Complete visual Dictionary
The Ultimate Visual Guide to Star Wars
Star Wars Vault
This is a site for some quite hard trivia questions
The children will also play the games we own below:
Other ideas we brainstormed are these:
* Wear your Star Wars cloaks for the week (pretty much a given)
* Do a narration and illustration of the major characters in ALL the DVDs
* Make a starfighter
* Create a new character with the relevant information and role in a movie
* Make a map of the Star Wars Galaxy
* Make A Jango Fett or Clone helmet
* Make an alphabet book: draw/ print one picture for each letter of the alphabet
* Star Wars Alphabet (below) - use to send coded messages to each other.
* Make some paper dolls of your favourite male and female character
* Research the Making of Star Wars
* Research the progress of the visual effects over time.
* Research the merchandise and the collector value of different pieces
* Make some fun facts pages : perhaps using some of these questions
* Edit a photo of yourself to hold a Lightsaber

ReplyDeleteI am honoring you with an award at http://traininghappyhearts.blogspot.com/2010/10/7-quick-takes-and-another-honor.html
ReplyDeleteThis was soooooo coool! My son printed up the alphabet and is planning on sending a couple copies to his friends with secret messages! He's already written up a "Star Wars week" His sisters are not as excited as he is though.
ReplyDeleteHe wants to know if your kiddos know about Star Wars Pocket models? He wanted me to tell you you can only order them on Ebay or Amazon. (daddy helps him with this one) They have these wars with these little pocket models and trading cards.
He also wants to know if you kiddos have Attacktix? (They are a few years old)
Great post, great ideas. I did print up the Princess Leia and Luke paper dolls for the girls!
Oh, and congratulations on your pregnancy!!!! You are so very blessed.
I was looking on a few posts last night and saw your carpol tunnel post...I had the surgery done about 7 years ago, on both hands. I'd had it for about 12 years and it was starting to keep me up at night. I did the shots for years and they would work a while, but not long and finally went for it. I am SO glad I did!!! The recovery was not that bad, because I still had the use of the other hand. The hardest part is not lifting the littles and changing diapers, but I think you have enough help there that you'd be fine. (I'd wait til you have the baby though, because of the pain meds in the beginning)
I am so happy I did the surgery!! I wish I would have done it much much sooner, but I offered it all up, so I guess it was meant to be!
I'll pray for you, I totally understand what you are going through. I remember fearing I would drop one of my babies because I couldn't feel my hands.
God bless you Gae!
