Knights and All That
We learned about Heraldry and terms like tincture, and ordinary...and made some coat of arms.
Here is my oldest son's with his second born symbol of the crescent. I gave him the choice of either second born or first born since in the Middle Ages often the first born meant first born son, not necessarily first born child.
He chose second born, however.
My daughter helped the two youngest students to build another sandcastle, teaching them about Restormel Castle,
where Edward the Black Prince held court in 1360.
They brought out some clothespin knights to play imaginary games. My daughter painted them a clothespin dragon, Robin Hood, a knight and a princess for their play.
We learned about weapons... 
The code of Chivalry...
and armor.
And as a reward for all their hard work, my daughter made them the knights...
for their ever-growing chess set...
and they learned how to move the knight.
Mens Sana has a wonderful Coat of Arms project.
Cultivated Lives has a lovely idea of hands-on Chivalry with Knights in Training
Older students might enjoy Bulfinch's Age of Chivalry.
Students about 3rd grade and up can enjoy Adam of the Road.
