We put on a "play" of sorts for FHE earlier in the month. It was grandly titled "The History of Thanksgiving!" It involved the wearing of hats for everyone except me, cuz I was the narrator and what kind of hats do they wear? Chad was a pilgrim father (isn't he so long-suffering!) and Grace was a pilgrim child. She's holding a baby because that's Oceanus, the baby born during the Atlantic crossing. (It's not that SHE had the baby...the children played WITH the baby. Let's get that straight.) Anyhoo, Grant is Chief Massasoit and Merritt is Squanto. He really liked being Squanto because he thought the name was cool. So, I don't know how much they learned about the first Thanksgiving, but we ALL learned that construction paper hats make everything more fun.

It's all in the hats...

I'm liking it! What a fun FHE lesson and activity.
Hee!Hee! You got Chad to ware a hat. That is the best part. (;
Chad does look like he is suffering, but he's a good sport about it. Looks like fun. I love the hats. Did they actually turn into their hat personae, like on that Bugs Bunny cartoon?
Just a smile for you here...At our Thanksgiving dinner my brother-in-law's g-friend was telling us about some family tradition where her family does the same thing, but in her retelling she couldn't remember Squanto, but I could! I love that you keep history alive so well in your family!
