Wordless Wednesday: How to teach really confusing history


Do you remember in the mid-1800’s when Russia and Great Britain fought to get control of Afghanistan?


Yeah, I had no clue. . .

But now I know that the Playmobil Russians tried to convince the My Little Pony Persians to join together to overthrow the strongman dude in Afghanistan and gain the upper hand against those Star Wars British in India * . . .



*you can read the rest of the story in The Story of the World, Volume 4: The Modern Age, pages 25-29**

**the kids still don’t really remember it, a week later, but hopefully some day all this stuff will pay off

    I simply have to root for the Saw Wars British in India, just on principle.

    OK, so we've discussed potential of me homeschooling, but the one subject that scares me off is HISTORY! I commend your Playmobil/My Little Pony recreation! 🙂

    If history had been taught to me with Playmobil toys I might have paid attention.

  7. ahahahaha– awesome. I suck at history, so this system would probably work well with me! At least the countries seem evenly matched. Except for the Persians.

    What a way to teach so that they don't forget, and will always fondly remember.
