Activities in the following categories will be featured: vocabulary acquisition and practice, sentence patterns, and basic introduction to Latin literature. All activities were designed for elementary school students, but can be adapted to all levels. Participants will also get a chance to look at, and perhaps win, the new Latin activity book from Ascanius!
