[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]How about bringing back the Viking raiding party? If you have school-age kids, you can also act out the historical component for possible extra credit (buy some horned helmets and shields).
Raid your neighbor’s houses for food and booze, thus burning off some calories whilst you pillage and plunder. Your kids get the benefit of a historical re-enactment, you not only take off some unwanted pounds, but get free booze and food as well.
If you’re not keen on Vikings, you can do a Pancho Villa motif or whatever strikes your fancy.[/quote]
How about beginning with the battle of Hastings and drawing lots as to who gets to be Aethelred.
Then following that with a trivia game about the development of consultative oligarchy and angloid democracy.
You could begin with the charter of liberties in 1100 and follow through with the Magna Carta, on through up to the 14th amendment (and here where Markmax jumps in).
This could be accompanied by refreshments of nothing but Michelob Ultra, vodka shots, and salted celery.
