This week came from our community's director! She's very fun and makes our community such a joy. She's always happy and compassionate, which I would not be if I had so many complaints and personalities to deal with! We're very blessed to have her! Week 3 History Sentence: Greek and Roman Gods Concentration / matching game to learn the Greek / Roman gods and goddesses TO Make: Use the W3 Greek / Roman gods flashcards from Phillip Martin off Classical Conversations Community History cycle 1 week 3. I used the pictures from this set to make the concentration game. Make one copy of these flash cards. Copy this file onto card stock if available. Cut 12 equal shaped pieces of construction paper. Mine were approx 3x3 inches. Cut the copies of the pictures below to fit. Place one picture on each piece of construction paper. The construction paper will be the back. All cards should be the same color. Laminate or cover with contact paper and cut out into 12 cards. Laminate page 3 – the definitions of the gods and goddesses. Laminate and cut out into 6 headings.

How to use: Use Philip Martin’s flash cards to learn the definitions and the Greek and Roman names for the gods and goddesses. Use the cards in this file to play concentration. Then once all the matches are made, place each match under / next to the definition title for that god or goddess.
