Read Ann Hibbard's review of the Ancient History Memory Game from Home Educating Family Association:

Anything related to history sparks excitement around our household. If something as simple as a good book excites us, you can imagine how much we enjoy a fun history game. Our current delight is the Ancient History Memory Game from The Classical Historian. The Ancient History Memory Game contains thirty-two pairs of matching cards with full color pictures of various people, sites, and symbols from ancient history. The high-quality pictures vary in style from drawings and sketchings to photographs and copies of works of art depicting historical scenes. All of the cards fit into one of four location categories related to ancient history: The Fertile Crescent, Greece, Rome, and the Far East. Four additional pairs of cards list these categories so older players can enjoy an “Ancient History Categories” game of sorting the cards into categories.

We love the Ancient History Memory Game for several reasons:
  • The game cards are made of durable, laminated material. The storage box also has a sturdy construction for long-lasting storage. I can see this game easily outlasting our need for it.
  • Many of the images used on the matching cards are identical to familiar images used in most of our other ancient history resources. This consistency reinforces learning and recognition.
  • While memory games are excellent on their own for preschoolers, this game serves the secondary purpose of introducing names and images to young children several years before the history itself is introduced. This familiarity can only serve to enhance later learning adventures.
  • The additional rules for the Ancient History Categories game offer a challenge beyond preschool to elementary children, thus increasing the value of the game for a family.

Mystery of History series

... I am a sucker for games and I found some that I think are extraordinary...Generaly there are four new games.  Two for Ancient History and two for Medieval Times.  They are patterned after the vintage games of Concentration and Go Fish.  I like these for the artistry, the simplicity and familiarity of the games, the historical value and perspective, and the reasonable price.  Students using my series will easily identify most of Mr. De Gree's illustrated objects and places like Stonehenge, King Tut's golden mask, the Great Wall of China, and a Roman aqueduct.  The "cards" for the Concentration/Memory Game are actually thick cardboard tiles, which are durable and easier for little ones to manipulate.  The Go Fish card set gives you other game ideas that will be fun for all ages.
I could go on and on, because like I said, I'm a sucker for games and it's not easy to find quality ones for world history that even younger students can enjoy.  I think the Classical Historian has done a great job.  You may want to spice up your studies now, or save these for Christmas.  Either way, I think they're great for review and the pure pleasure of having fun.
