Reminders! • BE Careful moving around watch for others, ceilings, and lights. • NEVER swing the spears or shields at another class mate (attack another Spartan would be punished by death!) • Keep focused on what you are doing. Enjoy the experience but don’t goof around. Remember Greek soldiers had to work flawlessly as a team to protect their families, homes, and way of life.
What to do: 1. Get your gear and assemble in ranks (if someone isn’t here then we’ll fill in. 2. Head down and assemble along the path. 3. The first person in each rank should make sure that their rank is in line. 4. Shields and spears up!
