Story of the World Ancient Times: Books, Videos, and Projects

Story of the World Ancient TimesI’m going through the Story of the World series with my daughter at a leisurely pace.  We are using the Story of the World audio book and the Story of the World Activity Book as our main resources and adding in some videos, books, and projects.activitybook

On this post I have listed additional books, videos, and activities that are not found in the activity manual.  The activity manual is a great resource for books and projects and we are using many of them.  I highly recommend the combination of the audio book and the activity book.  It has been working quite well for us.

This is an updated list.  I expanded this list to cover through chapter 25 of Story of the World Ancient Times.  My daughter also requested more projects so chapters 5 and up have more projects.

Here is basically how we are using Story of the World:

  1. Story of the World chapter audio with coloring page (We listen to the audio in the car as well.)
  2. Review questions (from Activity Book)
  3. Map work (from Activity Book)
  4. Mixture of read aloud books, videos, and projects on the topic.  This takes up most of our time, but it is the part we like the best.
