FREE WAYS TO TEACH HISTORY IN YOUR HOMESCHOOL

Hi there! This blog is all about cheap ways to homeschool. I believe that any family can homeschool no matter what their budget is and my goal is to show you how!

Today I have compiled a list of 10 free resources you can use to teach your kids about history! I believe you can use each of these for the elementary and middle school years.  I even learned a few things myself!

You can explore each website with your child or let them work independently. You will find so many free worksheets and videos about every historical topic.

TIP: Have your child create a historical facts notebook. Have your child choose one website and write down five interesting facts in their historical facts notebook once a week. By the time they are finished, they will have a notebook full of awesome history facts!
