We learned about the Fall of Rome during our Story of the World lessons so I wanted to dig a bit deeper with the kids about Ancient Rome. Here are some things we found....
- Ancient Rome lapbook from HomeschoolShare.com. We should be finished with this by Friday & then I will post pics.
- Rome Mini-Study for Young Learners from Hideaways in History.
- Play the Dig It Up:Romans online game.
- The Fall of Rome video.
- Visigoths sack Rome video.
- The Destruction of Pompeii from EyewitnessToHistory.com.
- Musician and artist Jeffrey Lewis sings about the factors that brought down an empire on History.com.
- The Colosseum: Building the Arena of Death animation.
- Lots of funny videos from Horrible Histories about the Rotten Romans. These are our favorite!
- Awesome Notebooking pages.
- Lots of links for units.
Enjoy!

DeleteThanks for the list of resources. We will be going back to start with volume 1 next year, and I will bookmark this page to come back then! We were lucky enough to get to see a special exhibit about Pompeii at the Franklin Institute earlier this month, and my kids were totally fascinated. They are excited to study ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome next year!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That does sound fascinating!
