Jean in CA Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 For American history there's this from Audio Memory. I have not found something similar for world history. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnMomof7 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 This might be a bit different than you are looking for, but if you don't need a recorded CD and are willing to do the rhythmic talking for your children you might be interested in some of the ditties for historical events here: http://sizzlebop.com/ditties.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hericane Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It's the 45 yr anniv of The Sound of Music, and a perfect time to introduce this classic as a learning tool.:lurk5: Take My Favorite Things and substitute the history facts for each line or phrase. So " raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" may become "Ferdinand Magellan sailed round South America". You do the first line to demonstrate and then let your DC each add a line. (SINGING! :D) It's really so much easier than you'd imagine. Don't over-think it, Just Do It. My Favorite Things is written in 3/4 time, like a waltz or lullaby. This is the best beat or rhythm for learning. Lullabies work because the 3/4 beat relaxes the mind and body. For learning, it helps the mind focus in a relaxed state. Want to make the learning even stronger in the memory? Include dancing, skipping, arm movements. The more the whole body is involved in the music/tempo, the stronger the learning gets. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
