Heraldry & Blazonry
![]() |
Begin by reading the descriptions of heraldry and blazonry on encyclopedia.com In Microsoft Word, type a brief description of what these two things are. |
| Then move to the Heraldry game. Be sure to read all the information concerning how shields were described before selecting your answers. Incorrect answers will stop the game. If you answer incorrectly, hit the back button and choose again. Continue until you finish. | |
| After you complete the game, go to the Symbolisms of Heraldry site and find what each of the colors, ordinaries, and charges symbolized. If you aren't sure what things look like, you may use the Heraldry glossary to view various objects. My family's crest is vert, on a cross flory or, a lion rampant gules. What does this stand for? Add this information to your Microsoft Word document | |
| Now, use the two sites above to choose a design you would like to have on your shield. Choose heraldic symbols that best describe you. In your Microsoft Word document, type the blazonry for your shield. | |
| Make sure your name is on your Word document, print it, and hand it in. |
