Living Books for My Father’s World Creation to the Greeks
This story was so sweet and my kids just loved it! It also gave us a look at the Jewish feasts.
This book was excellent! I highly recommend it when learning about Moses and the plagues.
This book is a follow-up to A Cry from Egypt. It looks really good, but we didn’t read it because of time.
I loved this story. I actually purchased the audiobook from Simply Charlotte Mason and we listened to it in the van.
I purchased this book and it looks really good, but we didn’t get to read it because we ran out of time. I might read it to the kids this summer.
This living book is highly recommended when studying Ancient Greece.
Mary Pope Osbourne’s Tales from the Odyssey
The Children’s Homer included in the curriculum can be a bit hard to understand for some students. This series makes it easier!
*Life in the Great Ice Age
I found our copy on Thriftbooks.com and really enjoyed reading this to the kids at the very beginning of our year.
You can also check out the other homeschool books for ancient history that I purchased from Thriftbooks.com!
Games and Activities for MFW CTG
This game is highly recommended in the MFW CTG Facebook group to learn the Greek and Latin roots. I haven’t purchased because the price is a bit too steep for me, but if you can find it cheaper it sounds like it’s worth it.

My kids LOVE puzzles. I just ordered the Ancient Greece puzzle since we are just beginning our study.

Educational Extras (Maps,Videos, Etc.) for My Father’s World Creation to the Greeks

We also use these in lieu of creating our own notebooking pages. The kids get drawing practice and copywork!

*Ancient Egypt Express Lapbook
I wanted to create something tangible to help reinforce what the kids learned about Ancient Egypt. This inexpensive printable lapbook was completed in one day.
For our study of Ancient Greece I purchased these history pockets. The material went along really well with what we were studying in CTG.
The Egyptian version of history pockets. I did not purchase these, but they could definitely be useful.
This is a super cool map set that would be used this year and next!
Notebooking Printables for MFW CTG
All of the resources below are free.
*Mamma Jenn Bible Verse Printables
I printed our current Bible verse and hung it up on the wall. I also printed the copy work for each verse and had my kids complete those papers when copying and memorizing the Scripture.
*Greek Roots Printables – In the files section of the Facebook group MFW CTG.
We used these Greek roots printables rather than the index cards that MFW suggests. My kids had a section in their notebooks just for their Greek roots.
*MFW Coloring Page Printables – In the files section of the Facebook group MFW CTG.
The teacher’s manual directs you to create several of your own notebooking pages. This printable file made that easy! I just printed off the the notebooking page we needed, had the kids write their own summary, and placed it in their binders.
