myfatherslily Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Are there any videos about Ancient Greece that my 5 year old might like? I'm thinking specifically about stories taking place during that period, but an educational film would be good too:) Older movies are fine (we have a great library system where I can find most anything). My husband's less-than-helpful (and joking) suggestions were Troy and 300. Hmm... yeah, I don't think so;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Schlessinger Media has a video called "Ancient Greece" which is very enjoyable. Our library has it. I don't think they sell it anymore but I could be wrong. It is part of a series called "Ancient Civilizations for Children". That same series has a video called "Ancient Agean". I bet there are videos with Aesop's Fables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Have you watched the Horrible History videos on youtube? They are a bit of fun from the BBC but my kids know all the players of the Trojan War and such. hee hee...Captain Menalaaaaus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 How about the 1963 version of Jason & the Argonauts? Some of the special effects (especially the fighting skeleton scene!) have a realism that puts modern computer graphics to shame! DS watched the Netflix disk so many times I finally bought him his own for Christmas. :) It's this one: http://www.amazon.com/Jason-Argonauts-Todd-Armstrong/dp/0767810864/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1265351999&sr=1-1 Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
