Shellydon Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I am searching for a documentary about some or all of the Kings/Queens England. It needs to be clean with no mention of sexual liasons as my elementary kids will be watching it as well as my older kids. Suggestions?

Shellydon Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 It is hard to find something that doesn't contain all lewd behavior of the Royals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I agree it might be hard. What fun would the Tudors be if not for their exploits? :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Not a documentary, but my daughter loves this horrible history song: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 You could have them learn the Willy, Willy, Harry, Ste... rhyme. Then they'll know them forever. Sorry, I'm no help on documentaries. There's plenty more Horrible Histories though. I really like that Henry the Eighth song they have too: Oh, great, now it's stuck in my head. Divorced, beheaded and died! Divorced, beheaded, survived... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyK Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 That Island Story audio looks great. I think my 12 year old would like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 If it's not an updated version of Our Island Story, I would make sure to listen along with your children. There were dated social and racial attitudes that I had to talk through with mine. For a book that discusses traditional British tales from history (with a side-bar talking about whether there is any truth to them) I recommend Britannia, by McCaughrean. It's not all about kings and queens though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyK Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Britannia looks great. I did notice at least 4 titles on Audible (2 marked for kids) that are overviews of the Kings and Queens of England. For kids: http://www.audible.com/pd/Kids/Kings-and-Queens-of-England-Audiobook/B00B8Z5EJ8/ref=a_search_c4_1_4_srTtl?qid=1429406185&sr=1-4 http://www.audible.com/pd/Drama-Poetry/Kings-and-Queens-Audiobook/B005WKP6L6/ref=a_search_c4_1_4_srTtl?qid=1429406412&sr=1-4 not specifically for kids but a summary: http://www.audible.com/pd/History/Kings-and-Queens-of-England-Audiobook/B0036GRGRU/ref=a_search_c4_1_3_srTtl?qid=1429406185&sr=1-3 this one says it is a brief history but is 14 hours: http://www.audible.com/pd/History/A-Brief-History-of-British-Kings-and-Queens-Audiobook/B00BM7J8A8/ref=a_search_c4_1_5_srTtl?qid=1429406304&sr=1-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
