AT THE AGORA
The ancient Greeks call their marketplace an agora and it’s always busy!
Here, traders come from far and wide to buy and sell food, furniture and tools. It’s also where important people meet to talk about big ideas and how they should run the country.
Use the stickers to add some pots to the market stalls.

ON THE FARM
It’s tough to grow food in ancient Greece because the soil isn’t very healthy. This means the farmers have to work very hard! They use heavy ploughs pulled by oxen and sometimes pray to the gods for a good harvest.
