Will's School


A few years ago, we ended our 1800's co-op by going to a one-room schoolhouse called Will's School.

We did several different subjects: reading, geography and math.



We played a few indoor games.



But mostly we played outdoor games.

I am not sure what this game is called, but it was a lot of fun!
Here is how to play:
1. Roll up two newspapers (make sure they are tight) and loop 2 rubber bands around each one.
2. Blind fold two players and have them lie on the ground so that they are facing each other.
3. Both players grasp one of their opponent's hands.
4. Players take turns trying to whack their opponent, while their opponent tries to dodge the blows.
The player with the most hits wins!


A final game we played was a potato-sack race. It was from the tree to the end of the yard and back.

On the way back, Caleb reached forward, grabbed Jake's shoulder and pulled him back, while Ben jumped out of his sack and "won" the race.
