As part of each of our parents' Christmas gift, they each received invitations to four themed dinners each. This past one was an African-themed dinner. The kids study, read, and research for the month before each dinner. They them help prepare a meal using recipes from the country we've studied as well as preparing some sort of entertainment for afer the meal. 
Here we are eating the appetizer....a dish made out of peas as well as chapati...a simple flat bread. It was very delicious! We also had bobotie, couscous, corn-okra-tomato medley, anise tea, and monkey bread! 
After the meal the kids presented what they had learned about the country of Africa. They each wrote a book about an animal from Africa. They even created an original piece using the drums that they performed as the finale to the evening.
