Children play Celts and Germanic tribes
Günther, Sybille
Those who go on an exciting search for "wild" tribes with children and follow their traces will soon encounter the former "barbarians" of Europe - Celts and Germanic tribes - between hill forts, smithies and longhouses.
Through games, stories, and crafts, children experience how people in Europe lived around 2000 years ago, how they dressed, cooked, and worked. Dressed in baggy trousers, wearing traditional shoes and wearing plaid blankets, and carrying spears and shields, lyres and cauldrons, they transform themselves into princesses and maids, warriors, bards, or druids. In this playful way, the children learn about the unique characteristics of both cultures. They discover that all Europeans were once migrants and that the blending of customs and traditions gave rise to Europe's shared cultural roots.
In age-appropriate activities, children weave Celtic ribbons and carve runes, taste porridge and sour milk, and listen to ancient legends about the Germanic gods or the sacred trees and animals of the Celts. Through dances and lavish feasts, the children experience the zest for life of ancient Europe.
