On February 7, 2007, Briana presented to the world her excellent series of programs for slightly older kids called Ancient Civilizations.  The first of the six-part series focused on the Ancient Middle East and had young archaeologists separated into groups, engaged in activities, solving riddles and learning about ancient cultures.  They loved it!

Everyone was issued a yellow helmet and activity packet .

The secret fun that awaited fueled much curiosity.

Caution!

Excavation In Progress!

There was a displays about Cunieform and the evolution of written language.

The Cartograhper's Guild.

With the yellow mood lighting in place and haunting Middle Eastern music playing in the background, the children were invited in to begin excavating.

With some guidance, each group was able to follow their activity booklets and complete the tasks, while learning about the Ancient Middle East.

One of the bonus activities asked everyone to gently dig through the sand to find their next clue...

...Illustrating how archaeologists work in small areas to unearth their own clues.

The participants excelled at sculpting statues of their own.

Completion of the activity packets were rewarded with bags of goodies and a copy of Hamurabi Today, Briana's own version of their newspaper.
