Take your students on a creative, hands-on journey through the medieval world with the the first semester of our Middle Ages History Curriculum. This complete, stand-alone set includes six themed boxes filled with exciting activities, lesson plans, reading lists, and educator resources for everything you need to bring the Middle Ages to life for learners in grades K–12.

Perfect for homeschool families, classrooms, co-ops, and history clubs, this package invites students to explore the people, cultures, and stories of the medieval world through crafts, stories, and creative projects.

What’s Inside?

This package includes six engaging boxes, each highlighting a different medieval civilization or culture with age-appropriate activities and resources:

1. Anglo-Saxons: Adventure in Old England! Embroider a section of the Bayeux Tapestry, make runestone jewelry, and read a section of Beowulf.
2. Byzantine Empire: Tour Byzantium and find out how riots, poetry, and political power often hinged on two things people still feel passionate about today: sports and religion. Enjoy an in-depth look at icon painting and then try your hand at designing your own.
3. Maya: Enjoy the sights and flavors of the Mayan culture. Learn about sacred feathers, divine tattoos, and the invention of chewing gum.
4. Korea: Discover the Wonders of the Silk Road, try your hand at calligraphy, and create a night light based on the constellations studied by Queen Seondek. Read the legend of Seondek’s wisdom and craft a paper peony in her honor.
5. Islamic Empire: Discover scientific and hygienic advances of the Islamic Empire! Split white light in honor of the scientist who first explained rainbows, grow rock candy as you learn why sweets suddenly became easier to find during this time in Medieval history, and brush your teeth the old fashioned way: with a miswak branch!
6. Charlemagne: Learn who’s to blame for compulsory schooling and who’s to thank for trial by jury. Follow in Charlemagne’s footsteps by sleeping with a journal under your pillow and make a house to attract one of the most important livestock animals in Charlemagne’s empire: bees.

Each box includes hands-on activities, historical background, and educator materials designed to engage learners of all ages and abilities.
