I love history! Unfortunately, for the most part, my children do not. That's a bummer. Traditionally, history has been learned in one of 2 ways....1. boring facts memorized and then forgotten 2.reading about the events and characters in living books (my fav!)
Recently there has been an influx in another way to learn about history.....GAMES! Why not?
We were blessed to receive the Medieval History Memory Game. I have to admit that as much as I love history, I'm not very good at anything earlier than 1700 or so. The cards are very high quality and just the right size for little hands. You can play the game as a traditional memory game or as a category matching game. So the game grows with you children! The illustrations are top notch and a pleasure to look at.
Bear, Abby and I have played several times and I am surprised at the things that we have all learned and the discussions that have been sparked because of our "play". Neat stuff!
You can get this from The Classical Historian for $14.95. While you are there, not forget to check out their other great looking resources. I doubt that you will be disappointed :)
