Bring history to life and make unforgettable memories with our Ancient Rome unit study kit! Embark on an epic journey to Ancient Rome with this comprehensive unit study centered around the Magic Tree House Fact Tracker: Ancient Rome and Pompeii by Mary Pope Osborne.

Perfect for homeschooling families, this kit brings history to life with hands-on activities that immerse your kids in Roman culture and engineering marvels. And that's just the beginning—with 20+ lessons and activities, there's so much more to discover inside the kit!

Activities include:

  • Building an Ancient Roman road
  • Creating a model Colosseum
  • Designing and testing an aqueduct in a STEM challenge
  • Exploring Roman daily life and culture through projects and crafts
  • Learning about Roman numerals through puzzles
  • Recreating an Ancient Roman-inspired mosaic

Designed to complement the engaging facts and stories in the included book, this kit covers multiple subjects including history, science, art, and engineering. Your family will dive into the wonders of Ancient Rome while developing critical thinking and creativity.

Although our kits are generally geared for children in grades K-4, this topic is meaty enough for 5th-6th graders+ who still love hands-on, project-based learning! Bring the big kids in to help teach the littles and foster family learning and shared discovery.

Learning Tips

We’ve divided the learning experiences into eight sections, and we recommend doing the activities in the order suggested as some build upon the next. However, you don’t need to complete all the lesson activities at once if that’s too much for your schedule. Just pause and pick up where you left off next time. Doing these activities two days a week will take four weeks to complete the unit. The activities in this kit were designed for K to 4th graders. But we know kids are at all different levels and interests, so feel free to skip or add-to an activity if it isn’t right for your child(ren). That’s what Schoolhouse Discoveries are all about - having fun learning and finding ways that best fit your needs.
