Night of Household Spirits

Something is wrong in the house tonight. Tremors shake the walls, ash-dark clouds drift past the moon, and the family believes the larēs — the restless spirits who guard every Roman household — must be appeased at the shrine before dawn.

Fully self-contained, self-grading, and ready in seconds — just open the file and go. Perfect for a no-prep substitute lesson, a Halloween-week activity, or a stand-alone review day.
