Mystery of History Volume I (Quarter 1)

Every time I tackle the book Mystery of History (MOH) with my kids I need ideas for crafts and projects to put in their portfolio. Sometimes, I use the suggested activities in the books. But other times, I think of an activity my kids can do using things I already have around the house. Or, I do my own research and find free stuff online. I love free stuff!

Right now, I have two kids going through MOH. My eldest son is doing Volume III and my second son is doing Volume I. Next year, I intend to do just one volume for the entire family. It was crazy covering two separate volumes this year. Learn from my mistake. It’s called a multi-level curriculum for good reason!

Here is what I have so far for Volume I – Creation to Christ (Quarter 1). I will add to this list whenever I can and if you have your own ideas, please let me know so I can include them here, too. Hope these help to make your homeschooling a little easier! (Some of these are home-made, some are ideas I picked up on-line, and others are free resources). With internet resources, please be present to monitor your child:

  1. Using Ancient Rome 3D in Google Earth, you can explore Rome as it appeared in 320 A.
    But unfortunately not every request will get approved.
    You need to make your potential customers aware of your products and services to ensure that they recognize them as valid solutions to their everyday problems.

  2. Hi Joy! Great stuff 🙂 may I ask how you resolved the difference in level you mentioned above where one child was Vol. 1 and the other was Vol. 3? How did you merge it into just one volume since there is a considerable gap between their levels…thanks in advance 🙂

  3. Thanks Joy! This is indeed helpful. These are all great activities. I am pretty sure this links you shared will be part of my “go to” as we go along our MOH Vol1. Once again, thanks for this compilation. MWAHHHH!
