I liked this video for giving my littles visuals for the size, scale, and some of the mechanics for the seven wonders of the ancient world. We only watched about the first 7 minutes. Let me know if you go further and like what it shares!
We played this pyramid builder game yesterday, which they really loved! You make choices throughout the game in order to build your pyramid. Making the wrong choices can have seriously bad consequences! I let my littles make our choices, but also guided them by asking questions, reading the helpful information which is part of the game, and reminding them of things we’ve read on our own. Even still, I left the choices up to them. Our pyramid building took a few attempts (mom’s barge driving is partially to blame!). My littles are asking to play it again today and I’m sure it reinforced the things we’ve been learning, so perhaps we will!
p.s. – there is also a mummy maker game on the same site, but i’m not sure we’re ready for all the gruesome details of mummy making in this house!
All great links again Beth. The 7 wonders video looks fascinating and hopefully we an watch it this afternoon. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us out like this!
Thanks, Christy. 🙂
