Answer the four clues, then name what ties them.

♪ Read aloud with an adult

A stroll through a medieval monastery. Each clue opens a door, and the last one tells you who rules the whole place.

  1. It covers the nave like a curved stone roof.

  2. It can be round or end in a point, and it holds up walls and windows.

  3. It crowns a wide column and often carries carved people or animals.

  4. It looks out over the main door in the shape of a half-moon and tells sacred stories.

The thread — Which medieval style of the 11th and 12th centuries brings these four pieces together?

Thick stone, round arches and capitals that tell stories: medieval Europe knew how to flirt, too. Come look at churches, mosaics and carved doors with a curious eye, play at matching styles, and pick up new words for talking about a work face to face. A quiz with charm, for all ages.

No player’s decisions in the game constitute any investment recommendations whatsoever.
