    Hi all,

    I am stumped.  For ancient history we are sorta camped out in the beginning of Genesis: Creation and Noah’s ark and I have run out of read alouds. We are not ready to move on b/c we are just having too much fun. 

    We have read the first 14 Chapters of Adam and his Kin (Ch. 15 is tower of Babel and we aren’t there yet). We have also done Noah’s Ark by Rien Poortvliet. 

    Our library does not have The True Story of Noah’s Ark (Tom Dooley) unfortunately and I can’t buy anything else right now. 

    My kids are 9 & 13 (4th and 7th) and snugggling on the couch for our read aloud time is our favorite time of day, but there just does not seem to be very much out there for read alouds for Creation and The Flood.  Lots once we get to Egypt but we aren’t there yet.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Go outside and measure how large the ark was. (450 feet) compare that to an elephant (10 ft) and a blue whale ( 100 ft)

    Create “fossils” out of clay (leaves, etc)

    Have an “archeological dig” ( the 13 yo may be beyond this?)

     

    As far as books, most libraries are not going to have very many Christian books, but you may get lucky. Here are some that work well with that time period:

    Life in the Great Ice Age

    Uncovering The Mysterious Woolly Mammoth

    Dry Bones and Other Fossils

    Dinosaurs By Design

    Dragons Legends and Lore of Dinosaurs

    What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs

    The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible

    Grand Canyon: a Different View

    The Case of the Missing Mountain -this is more of a workbook where kids go sluthing, uncovering clues about Mt St Hellen and how evidence from there shows how the flood could form the Grand Canyon (instead of a trickly over millions of years). They work puzzles and explode different sorts of volcanoes.

    Susie, 

    Thanks for these suggestions!  The great thing is we are in a large city and the public library system is tied into most of the schools, including the private Christian ones.  So I was able to request several of these. 

    Thanks for the activity suggestions – we actually have no shortage of activity ideas which is why we are camped out here so long.  Those ideas are similar to things on our list. 

    Thanks again,

    Sherri

    Sherri, that is wonderful! I would have never thought that there would be a connection between a public library and Christian schools. =)
