Hands on History Activities

Hello All,

I am fairly new to Charlotte Mason and have been lurking around SCM for a little while now.  I love doing school CM style, but am struggling with trying to find a good fit for us for history.  I have 5 children (4 doing school), and like to have an activity, craft, or coloring page to go with what we are reading about.  I have found that just reading and narrating becomes dry, but adding in a little activity here and there reinforces and keeps things interesting.  I know that I could add that in to the SCM modules, but if I have to do that myself on a regular basis, it’s probably not going to happen. 

I guess I am in a pinch, because I want the freedom that a less planned out curriculum allows, but still feel like I need a more structured curriculum to make sure it all gets done. 

I also have found that combining all of my kids for history does not work for our family.  Do any of you do more than one module at a time? 

Thanks in advance for your help.

In His love,

RuthAnn
