Today's topic was Greek Mythology. We first started off with having a discussion on what Greek Mythology is and its definition. Today's topic was taught by me (Hithu Oleti) and we went over several Greek Myths. I narrated the stories of the reasons for the seasons which include Demeter the Goddess of the Harvest and her daughter Persephone and then we played a game about the seasons. I also told the story of Hercules and his 12 Labors. To give the kids a better idea of Hercules, we showed them a short clip of Disney's Hercules! After this, we described three different gods. I talked about Zeus and how he was the God of Lightning and Weather. I also talked about the God of War Ares and how mean and violent he can be. And finally, I talked about the Goddess Iris and how she was the Goddess of Rainbows. Near the end of the meeting, we each had the kids take a quiz on which God or Goddess they are! It was so fun to see how excited they were to see which God and Goddess they were. To end the meeting, we told the kids about future opportunities and events!
