I made a little printable book about the Plague for the boys to do for history. Gotta Love Monkey's illustrations.
He was pretty much grossed out by the whole discussion and doesn't want to talk about the plague anymore. ;)
We read that about 1/3 of all the people in Europe died from the plague. So I got out 9 Lego minifig's to illustrate that point.
The boys were mesmorized, since I was using Lego guys, but didn't think that three was that many. So we counted the people on our street and figured out that about 15 people from our street would have died from the Plague. Whoa!
But the whole time I kept thinking 'Bring out your dead!'
History is fun.
