Library Programmes
The Knights in the Classroom are pleased to offer their vast array of educational activities and demonstrations so libraries can create a customized event!
These events can bring books to life like nothing else, are a great way to engage the community and bring people out to the library. Events can have a particular theme like Pirates or The Medieval Period or Vikings and can be customized around that theme allowing you to display books the library has on that subject.
All events are done onsite and are fully customizable. Duration, activities included, content and target audience are just some of the elements to consider when booking the event. The festivities can be for select groups such as children, teens, adults or the whole family!
Activity / Demonstration Choices Include:
• Fencing
• Archery
• Siege Weapons including our custom made catapult!
• Historical Dance
• The Armoury
• The Mobile Museum (aka: That Was Then, This Is Now)
• Watercolour Painting
• Ancient Sports & Games
• Drumming From Around the World
• Puppetry
• Behind the Shield, Life as a Legionnaire
• Historical Martial Arts (Battle Demonstration in full reproduction armour)
• Singing & Sea Shanties (including a history of Pirates which dispels the myths created by "Treasure Island")
If you are looking for educational connections, all programming is designed to enhance the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum at multiple grade levels and several areas of the curriculum including social studies, physical education, S.T.E.M., visual arts, dramatic arts, music, dance and more!
