Whether you want to keep history hands-on, are wanting to hook your children on history or you have a budding history buff, here are some ideas for gifts for kids who are wild about history.
1. BrainBox for Kids – World History Card Game
Though we don’t play the 10 minute version and changed this game around a bit, this is a great way to add to your history program or just to include all ages.
How many details can you remember?
2. Greeks (Ancient Civilisations Pop-Ups) A pop up book for the big kids too. With all the intricate detail, this will keep your child entertained for hours.
And though we don’t have this book, The Pompeii Pop Up, it is one we want.
3. Time For Kids: Benjamin Franklin: A Man of Many Talents (Time for Kids Biographies)
This is another series of books that has kept my boys loving history because the focus is on understanding some of the great minds behind history and not boring dates.
There are many to choose from too.
4. Educational Trivia Card Game – Professor Noggin’s Ancient Civilizations
This series of trivia card game has bailed me out on more than one occasion when our time spent doing history was going flat. Though it says it is for 7 years of age and up, we used our games for much longer.
Can you really know all there is to know about history? Check out the other games on history too.
5. Horrible Histories Special: Cruel Kings and Mean Queens If you want to capture your child’s love for history by laughter, he may like this series of books.
6. And don’t forget, history is all about studying fashion of a time period too. Check out the Project Runway History of Fashion Workbook. Your girls might love it.
And for goodness sakes if you ever get to get your hands on a history treasure chest (swoon), new OR used (in good condition) made by Running Press many years ago, it is the best money I ever spent on feeding my boys’ love of history.
I do believe (blush) we have every history treasure chest they made.
What a great list of resources! These would make great Christmas gifts, too! Thanks for sharing these books and games.
