marynamo Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 There are loads of videos onn youtube that ties in with the topics. Also check out Pinterest some great resources. On my blog is a few things we have done. (not much as we moved twice this year so it was hectic for us). There is also a blogroll for SOTW where you can check out what others have done. The link is on the right on my blog at the bottom (are not at my computer now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwik Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 A lot of the history books have activities in then. Look for an ancient history one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Pintrest, Youtube and the library have more ideas than you could ever wish for. I've begun sorting Horrible History clips by Story of the World chapter, if that's any use to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Tests for it http://www.bradenbryce.com/homeschool/ Also a ton of resources in http://museofthemorning.com/homeschool/2013/10/21/the-ultimate-guide-to-resources-and-activities-for-story-of-the-world-vol-1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Do you have a decent local library? Because Classical House of Learning http://www.classicalhouseoflearning.com/ has some nice books to use as read alongs with SOTW. It was created by a hive member. She even has some copywork etc. She has nice schedule to match up SOTW along with the books. I have had no problem finding almost all of the book she suggests in my local library. If you google SOTW 1 activites or cooking or drawing or SOTW 1 projects etc etc you will get many hits and ideas of what people have done. One project we did that isn't in the activity guide is "Fruity Pharaohs" which some friends of mine told me they did in grammar school, so it has been around a while. Here is one link describing it http://www.mers.k12.nj.us/education/components/scrapbook/default.php?sectiondetailid=7866& But if you google fruity pharaohs I am sure you can find more. I am not a lapbook person (I don't get them) but if you google SOTW 1 lapbook you will get a lot of hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomandlorih Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Here is a lapbook if you are into that. http://brendajohnston.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_11.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Pinterest for activities and printables (I've repinned some on my first grade board), and also Googling for "blackline map ________________" (name of the place) for maps. You can find free timeline pictures if you want a wall timeline. For books, I go into my library's online catalog and search for whatever I want (like Ancient Egypt) and then sort to see only children's books, and reserve them.
