We've managed to get behind on our history so are trying to play catch up now. As a result, we just got to Joseph yesterday.
I think it kinda worked out for us, though.
The assignment for "younger" students focused on Joseph's coat of many colors. I thought the girls would like to do the "younger" work, as well as their own. I was right!
The younger set is supposed to make a sugar cookie coat of many colors and decorate it with frosting. How come I don't remember ever getting an assignment that required making cookies when I was in school?
They used toothpicks to decorate their cookies. Hey, I had to challenge them somehow, didn't I?
Of course, there was the rest of the batch to roll out and bake so we now have some Christmas cookies, too. As if we needed more sugar around here this week.
Today we moved on to Hammurabi. No cookies for him. I've decided I like Joseph best of anyone we've studied so far. ;-)

You mean that you don't want your kids to make cookies that somehow depict The Code of Hammurabi? Now THAT would be a challenge.

Sounds like you might be doing The Mystery of History? We liked that too.
