Planning an End-of-Term Ancient Roman Banquet & Toga Party

We’ve decided. We’re planning a third-grade toga party for our end-of-the-year celebration in about two weeks. We studied the ancient Romans during the spring term and this is a good party to culminate our unit. All the kids wanted to do it.

This week I sent home some instructions to parents on how to make a toga, or that a bed sheet could be used as a substitute. I asked parents to search the internet for ancient Roman recipies (no potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, pizza, or spaghetti in ancient times). We will drink grape juice and apple juice.

I thought we might lay down some mats for people who want to eat lying on their side, propped up on an elbow. I actually had a few students beg to be slaves, serving food to others! I suggested maybe we could take turns eating and serving….
