I wanted to share with you how we study world history at home. Aside from our previous lessons of Ancient Egypt, Mavi wanted to learn about the history of Europe. So this is where we are focusing as of the moment. These cards are included in my Europe in a Nutshell learning material.

I added the description cards as reference whenever we wanted to review the details.

The cards are currently displayed on top of my shelf so Mavi can work on them anytime. This is the best way to learn the time periods as well, like what’s BC and AD.

After I introduced him to the time periods, he arranged the cards by himself. He was confused with the BC and AD at first but later on he was able to grasp the concept.


Now, the pictures and fact cards aren’t enough, we’ve got to locate these in the map! Here Mavi is seen locating Crete, where Europe civilization started. An understanding of geography and location will make the child understand the history and culture of the ancient people. We also located the Mediterranean Sea, the gateway of ancient Asians who entered Europe and where most of the battles occurred. The map is from the activity book of the STOW Book 1 printable version.

As I mentioned earlier, we are reading STOW Book 1 to go along with the cards but doesn’t entirely equate to the details I put in our Ancient European History Timeline cards. The details in the cards are much simpler to cater more to the capacity of younger minds.

These are great! Do you have these available in your Teachers Pay Teacher store? Thanks!
