On August 15th, we celebrate a major event in the Greek Orthodox Christian faith, the Dormition of the Mother of God. Αt a time when Greek spiritual tradition, both religious and cultural, is under increasing external pressure, Ellinopoula has chosen to honor this day that is linked to spiritual peace with a special collection dedicated entirely to the Hagia Sophia.
We have created 36 new activities for our new Hagia Sophia collection including a classroom video story, Syllable Scrabbler, Word Matching, quizzes, Sentence Maker, SpeakUp, Read and Fill, Listening, True or False, puzzles, and printables!
The video story shows a Greek teacher and her class going over the history and the religious and cultural significance of the Hagia Sophia. The story teaches children that no matter the turbulent times and events that take place, Hagia Sophia always has been and will be a Greek Orthodox church and a symbol of Christendom worldwide.
The Hagia Sophia collection is for beginners and advanced students. The first two rows in the collection include activities for beginners and the rest are suitable for more advanced students. Non-subscribers can view some activities by clicking on the collection link below.
