We had such fun learning about England. We spent a lot of time learning about it and creating our own mini London to play with. We read lots of books you can see linked below. I also linked many videos that we watched throughout the few weeks we were learning about Great Britain. We made a tea party using my china tea set that I got when I was little girl.  Here is our worksheet for England that I created FOOD: We made a bunch of different recipes that we've never tried before.

  Every Saturday night, we have Family Night. We spend time all together playing games, doing puzzles, baking or doing art together. It's our favorite time of the week. We have a large collection of games. Many are favorites that my husband and I play. Here are a bunch of games that my family loves playing together. My children are under age 7 and are able to play these well.  I'm always looking for new games. Let me know in the comments what your family favorites are! UNO ATTACK This is the latest addition to our game collection. We absolutely love this game. It's the game of UNO but with more suspense and fun. You load the cards into the machine and when it's time to draw, you press the button. You never know what you're going to get. You may get 0 cards or 8.

We focused mostly on Windmills and Wind Turbines. We learned about wind energy and did some STEM activities to explore it. We learned some phrases in Danish and we read the book The Ugly Duckling. The author, Hans Christian Anderson is from Denmark and there are statues and a museum of him in Denmark. We also learned the queen of Denmark is Margrethe II. The popular mode of transportation is cycling. There are many bicycles in Denmark. FOOD: I made  Frikadeller (Danish meatballs)  following this recipe. I used ground beef instead of pork. It was really good, and my family loved it. PLACES: Faroe Islands - A beautiful island with gorgeous
