WW II Project

What a great place to share ideas! Social Studies is definitely my love and I really enjoyed doing creative things with my children when I homeschooled.

Perhaps the most fun we had is when we created a giant map of WWII countries on our extended oak table. We took all our army men, risk pieces and moved them throughout Europe indicating where everyone (Germans, Russians, Brits and American etc)
was fighting.

We read a book that was a small synopsis on the war and readable to middle school students YET my youngest, a kindergartener at the time was riveted and she still remembers that time. Perhaps we had greatest culminating activity because we went to Europe in the Spring and saw several WWII sites…like Normandy and Dachou. Nevertheless, having a huge visual aid made history come alive for my kids!
What creative activities have you all tried with your children?
