We started out talking about the Feudal system - King, Baron, Knight, Serf - and what our family feudal system might be - God, Dad, Mom, Kids. We also talked about our governmental feudal system - President, VP, Senate/Congress, Governor, Mayor, etc.
They copied 10 points in the Code of Chivalry - those that they can still keep today. (Some were outdated, so I read them, but they didn't copy them.)
One of the most interesting subjects was the knight's armor and weapons. If my boys enjoyed crafts, we would've made some, but they don't enjoy doing things like that, so we just looked at pictures. We compared the knight's armor with the Armor of God and what each piece from Ephesians means in our walk with God.
Here are the boys' coat of arms they created that I found online. (Alex's is the second one pictured.) After looking at our family's coat of arms, we discussed the different colors and symbols that were generally used. This worksheet was split into 6 different parts. They were to draw something for a specific category in each part. -who am I? - what makes me happy - what makes me sad - what do I want to be when I grow up - what are my hobbies or interests - my favorite place.
