Teach History the Fun Way!
We love history in our house! We love the stories, people, places, art, music, fashion, food, and ideas. We want to feel like we've experienced a different time, meet the people, and see everything! History's not a dreary subject we have to suffer through. History is exciting! It's HIS Story. The Lord made the Heavens and earth. He made Adam and Eve and knits each person together inside their mother's womb before they are born. He has a purpose for every person, every nation. History reveals folks who walked in their purpose and many more who did not. Yet, all along, God is weaving His perfect plan, in spite of foolish choices that bring darkness. Jesus is Light! He offers hope, peace, and joy! His Word reveals His Perfect Ways. Throughout History, He calls the broken, the lost, the sinner to repent and follow Him.
Would you like to discover what God has been up to since Creation? Would you like to meeting intriguing people? Would you like to visit exciting places? Would you like to discover art, music, architecture, food, religion, and customs of long ago? Well then, let's Learn History the Fun Way!
Here are some different ways we can Teach History the Fun Way:
Living Books
Living books take us to other times and places, In those pages, we are swept away to other times and distant shores.
Timelines
Place people, events, books, inventions on a timeline and get a bird's eye view of history. It really helps things make sense!
Cookbooks
Time travel in the kitchen with foods eaten long ago. We've adapted recipes to modern times so you won't have to cook over a fire or wood-burning stove.
Act it Out
Radio shows, dramas, skits, monologues, pretend interviews with famous people, and reenactments bring history alive to all who participate!
Dress Up
Wear clothing from times past. What fun!
Explore Music & Art
Listening to music, dancing, looking at art, creating art, and learning songs of long ago engages your heart and your mind to historical events and people.
Throw A Party
You will definitely be surprised at how much you learn when you prepare and host a Medieval Banquet, Victorian Tea, Passover Feast. We had a blast competing in our own crazy fun Ancient Greek Olympic Games and digging up artifacts in our Archaeology Dig.
Movies & TV Shows
Movies and television shows created in decades ago or set in historical time periods have a huge impact on making a time period come alive. We love to watch movies while we work on our timelines.
Are you ready, let's explore HIS story and have so much fun we won't even realize we're learning.
