Lucy the Valiant Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Okay, my kids switched into CAP's Latin for Children (the olders) & Song School Latin (the youngers), and they are all ENTRANCED by Headventureland.com! We have done Latin for 2 years already (different program), and I thought I had researched the "fun stuff" previously, but this is opening new territory for me. So I'm on the quest for even more fun Latin stuff for them! What can you add to this list? Latin Dr. Seuss (we have Cattus Petastatus & Virent Ova! Viret Perna! - I know there is a Grinch one, too) Headventureland (they particularly love the videos, though all of it is first-rate) Roman Mysteries (I found on a different thread - haven't tried these yet, but they're on my list) Percy Jackson I am learning it right along with them, and we are having an absolute ball with this stuff, so - tell me what else is out there! (They also *LOVE* piecing out the sayings on historical monuments / architectural structures / plaques we run into while out and about. They miss / confuse a lot of the endings since we're all still beginners, but they can often get the gist of the message, and that is THRILLING to them, and just makes them want more. That's a flame I'd love to fan!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy the Valiant Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Adding to my own thread . . . National Latin Exam National Mythology Exam (These are both new to us, too - one of my kids LOVES this kind of thing, the others tolerate it.)

SilverMoon Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Winnie Ille Pu is fun. (Winnie the Pooh) The Hobbit is even translated in Latin now. Your olders may enjoy Learning Latin through Mythology (it's short). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If you're in the US going over the state mottos is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEGway Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I was just looking at Ellen McHenry's site after another thread about a deal on some science stuff and saw that she has a page of Latin freebies, too. Something there might be fun. (?) http://www.ellenjmchenry.com/homeschool-freedownloads/latin-games/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobeknofret Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Arbor Alma Ferdinandus Taurus Harry Potter Quomodo Invidiosulus Nomine Grinchus Christi Natalem Abrogaverit There's also a Latin version of Olivia ETA: EEEE! There's also Walter Canis Inflatus! (Walter the Farting Dog) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Cambridge School Classics Orogram has a website with games and cultural extensions from CLC. It's under $20 US to subscribe for a year. We use CLC, but I'd think you could use it with other programs. The Exploratory Latin Exam for grades 3-6 has a teaching packet and CD available from ACL. It overlaps SSL a lot.
