History Go Fish and Memory games

A colorful Charlotte Mason-inspired journey through American history!

History comes alive in the stories and adventures of explorers and pioneers who saw in America the chance to live a dream – to freely worship God, to have the chance to own land, and the search for wealth and opportunities. It is also the story of cultures that at times cooperated or clashed, as well as distant rulers and countries who saw a chance to expand their power through conflict or treaty.

Volume One in this series for your elementary students includes:

• Beautiful historic illustrations, photographs, maps, and cultural connections
• Examples of history you can still see today all across this great land
• Important narratives of the people and places that stand for some of the most pivotal moments in America’s development

This vivid collection of history is as varied and vast as the lands that stretch from the original thirteen colonies to the gold fields of California. Discover the people who braved and tamed a wilderness to form communities and eventually states that dot the landscape of this great land we know today.

Spanish for Kids by Kids was created to give parents a fun and easy way for their children to learn Spanish.

The Video Series incorporates a teaching style that Kit developed over a decade with her own children.  It combines immersion with visuals  – adding a good dose of humor and fun.  Kit believes this makes it easier for students to retain what they learned.  Painful memorization is not useful or fun.

The board game Dice Off™, challenges groups of kids to learn while they are having healthy, competitive fun.

TruthQuest History puts God back at the center of the past.
Centered on “living books,” this creative approach to history integrates elements of both Charlotte Mason and Classical methods.
Short, very informal introductions are written directly to the student and open up each topic with a distinctly Christian perspective. Suggestions for activities or writing exercises are often included as well. The booklists follow, with selected annotations on what pages or sections to read and appropriate grade levels for each entry. Incredibly flexible in nature, families can proceed at the pace that’s best for their students as they select “spines,” biographies, in-print books, and out-of-print classics from the extensive lists.

Proceeding chronologically, entries include lists for the Fall of Constantinople, War of the Roses, Christopher Columbus, Queen Elizabeth, El Greco, Johannes Kepler, Roanoke Colony, and other relevant unit-study topics.

Grades 5-12; may be adapted for younger siblings. 115 pages, softcover, spiral-bound.

Full resource list is included at the back of the book.
