Gentlemommy Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I know that there is a page that lists various movies/documentaries that coincide with SOTW. I'm wondering if there is ONE set that will accomplish this...my dd is SUCH a visual learner and loves watching movies. I know if I had a DVD set that went chronologically through history, she would get so much out of it. I am currently just looking up documentaries on Netflix, but since most aren't made for children, it's hit or miss whether or not they will hold her attention. She's 7.5. I'd love to buy one set that would take us from ancient Egypt until modern day...is there such a thing? Or even a website that has videos that go in chronological order, that are geared to kids?

LBoogie Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I would like to know the same thing! I am starting SOTW I with my 7.5 dd in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschnee Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Ancient Civilizations for Children is an excellent series. Ancient Aegean Ancient Africa Ancient China Ancient Egypt Ancient Greece Ancient Inca Ancient Maya Ancient Mesopotamia Ancient Rome I found it here http://www.socialstudies.com/c/product.html?nocache@479+s@zUosQQ0NWeyf2+record@TF28515 but check around, they might be available at your library, they are at mine. You could supplement these with Horrible Histories (available on You Tube) if she likes that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Ok, I found possible sets...has anyone seen either of these? Or have an opinion on either one? http://www.amazon.com/World-History-Beginnings-New-20pk/dp/B005JRZEOQ/ref=pd_sim_mov_1 And http://www.mediaoutlet.com/the-world-a-television-history-4-dual-layer-dvds-all-26-shows-p-1042.html Thoughts?

kiwik Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Big ear. BBC are usually good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yes, and I like that they are only half hour each...seems like a good length for now. Plus free shipping world wide! I might start with those and save the other set for future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
