Activity 2 - Greek vases. We looked through several book on Greek looking for images of the black and orange Greek vases. I took an orange crayon and colored an entire page with it. I then colored over it with a black crayon, making sure to press hard and cover the entire surface of the page. Cut into the shape of a vase and glue onto a white piece of paper. Then let them scratch a design into the vase.
This can be made into more shapes than just a vase, a plate or pitcher would also work, be creative.
Activity 3 - Look at picture of Greek statues. Especially the Discobolos. Then drape the kids in Greek robes and using a pale frisbee or dinner plate, have the kids pose like the Discus thrower and take pictures.
Activity 4 - Jewelry - Get a small rubber snake, paint it gold, hot glue into the shape of a bracelet.
