LDS Activity Days - Russia

I taught the girls about former Soviet Union today - the country where I grew up.
First, I showed them the countries that Soviet Union got divided into on the map.
Then we learned a few phrases in Russian:

Привет  - Preevyet  - hello
Как дела?  -  Kak dyela? – how are you?
Хорошо  - Kharasho  - doing well
I loved hearing the girls speak Russian.

Then we watch my favorite episode of "Masha and Medved". Even though the cartoon is in Russian, but it has minimum talking and plenty of laughter.

Then we played Morskoi Boi - Sea battle - one of my favorite quite games ever. 
If you want to play it with your friend, print the "seas" (one copy for you and one for the opponent), position your battleship and have fun. 

Then we had yummy Russian Medovik - Honey cake. It is not too sweet; just right to satisfy a sweet tooth.

We finished our activity by playing Rezinki - some people call it Chinese jump rope. This was my all time favorite active game when I was growing up. There are levels, so I enjoy the fun of progressing - just like in video games, but it is also a wonderful exercise.
