Numerous Christian history resources are available thanks to the growing popularity of homeschooling. Regardless of whether you are teaching Christian history to your homeschooled students, Sunday school students or your children who attend a public or private
school, utilizing homeschooling history resources will make your task simple. You will be able to provide a thorough Christian history education to any student. There are a variety of resources available to suit the learning style of any student, as well as any teaching style.
Instructions
- Teach Christian world history out of your chosen history curriculum. Some examples of Christian world history curriculum include: "Mystery Of History," "Story Of The World" and "TruthQuest History Guides." These three curriculum are especially easy for educators with less experience as they require no other supplementary materials. The curriculum you have chosen will dictate your activities in regards to teaching each day.
- Select projects from your chosen curriculum to reinforce history being taught. A large project, such as building a pyramid out of sugar cubes or mummifying a raw chicken, are popular projects that correspond with the Egyptian time period. The Egyptians played a major role in Christian world history, in relation to Moses and the nation of Israel. Many Christians spend a great deal of time learning about Egyptian culture to better understand the trials of the Israelites.
- Review timeline cards or pamplets every day. There are two different companies that print out a card or pamphlet for each major event in history. These events include both Christian history, as well as general history. Alternatively, you can have your child construct his own timeline cards using important Christian history events. Arrange the cards in order from beginning to end and have your child memorize their order. Arrange 10 cards on the floor in incorrect order and have your child correct the order. Give your child a roll of masking tape and have him tape the cards around the room in the correct order.
- Construct a continuous timeline consisting of Christian history from a roll of butcher paper or a roll of newsprint. Use a ruler to accurately space each historical event. Provide 3 to 6 inches per 100 years for Ancient Christian history, 10 to 12 inches of space per 100 years for Medieval Christian history, 12 inches of space per 25 years for New World Christian History, and 8 inches of space per decade for modern Christian history. Decorate your timeline with colored pencils, crayons or markers and have your children draw in pictures depicting each individual historical event.
