The Story of the World Volume 1 Activity Book

This book has been such a great supplement to the reading material. There is a lot of information in the SOTW chapters. Both the questions and activities in this book have been instrumental in my son retaining some of what he’s read. I am definitely going to get the activity book again for SOTW volume 2.

This is a great resource to use with The Story of the world. I usually ask the comprehension questions the day after we read our chapter to see how much she has retained. I usually do this while she is coloring in the map or picture that went along with the chapter. I find this helps jog her memory and a lot of the time all I need to ask is for her to tell me about the picture she's coloring and she'll start tell me the majority. We also usually do one of the suggested activities for fun. So far we have had an archaeological dig, made cave paintings and made our own paper to write hieroglyphs on.

This book has many resources in it. Questions to check for understanding, coloring sheets, crafts, maps, and lists of additional reading. It definitely makes history more enjoyable for littles.

The activity book brings the text book to life. There are various activities you can pick and choose from. There are also questions in it for after you have completed reading each chapter of the text book. There are also reading lists in it for additional reading. My kids enjoy the color pages and making things the book suggests.

This book is filled with activities based on the Story of the World Vol I. book, ranging in difficulty so that a wide range of ages can use it. However, I found for my first grader, that only the very simple activities were age/grade appropriate. However I will say she did enjoy the ones we did. The SOTW curriculum is just a little too tedious for first grade, unless maybe spreading it out across two years instead of one.
