When you purchase this activity book, you have permission to copy the maps and activity pages for use within your own family. Requires The Story of the World: Volume 4 book.

About the Story of the World Series:

This captivating read-aloud series will introduce your children to the world's great history presented chronologically from the beginning of time. Each volume of The Story of the World includes the details of battles, kingdoms, cultures, and customs from every continent and major people group. It is woven together into stories that children will find mesmerizing. With short chapters, many less than seven pages, The Story of the World presents history in small, easily-digestible chunks. Of particular appeal to children will be the occasional story about a hypothetical child in the culture of that time and popular fictional stories.

The Story of the World is intended to be a read-aloud program for first through sixth grade, but it can work equally well as independent reading by an older child. Don't restrict your scope of history to just American history. These are what we consider the best world history books for this age group. If you have ever found history dull and humdrum, these books might just change that opinion!

The Activity Book offers parents and teachers a complete history curriculum for use with The Story of the World. In addition to extensive reading lists and cross-references to the most common illustrated encyclopedias, the Activity Book contains comprehension questions, sample narrations, maps, coloring pages, and activities for each chapter in The Story of the World. Children and parent-teachers love the activities, ranging from coloring pages and games to mummifying a chicken!

Note: Please do not consider this series a Providential view of history that recognizes God's hand in history. It is a history text that attempts to include all significant historical and cultural accounts. If you are a conservative Christian, you may want to opt out of a couple of activities. And where you find details with Biblical references that are inaccurate because of sparseness, use this opportunity to interject more of His Story. These minor issues are easily addressed and shouldn't keep you from this excellent program.

    The activity book deepens the lesson!

    We love the book list in the activity book to deepen each lesson; the map work is our favorite part! There are also activities and coloring sheets.

    Packed full of info and projects

    We use the activity book along with the audio CD. The questions that it asks for each section are great (and thankfully provide the answers right on the page). Along with the questions, Volume 4 adds complexity with a "timeline" which asks the child to re-tell the information in chronological order. Our daughter isn't quite to this level yet, but I appreciate the purpose and what it teaches kids. Also, ALL of the different projects. You can pick and choose what is best for your family, or even look them up online for examples. You don't need to use everything for it to have amazing value. It inspires us to learn more and I think it helps our daughter that mom & dad find it interesting and she feels that energy and wants to learn more too.

    Just alright

    We used it, but it wasn't that exciting for my 4th graders. They loved the book, but not the activity book. They actually dreaded anytime the activity book came out. Most of the activity book was a waste for us. It was a struggle to use this.
