Your kids will love the lap book activities, creating a timeline, and reading the engaging chapter sections or ‘Stops’ as they are called.

Pack Up Your Gear

The week before departure, download the audio files (mp3s) and text files (pdf) to the electronic devices you plan to take with you on your journey to Italy. Use these digital resources strategically before your trip and during your flight. You’ll want to pack light with only the needed homeschool gear in your backpack or carry-on.

Listen to the mp3 files as you move between cities. There is over an hour of dramatized stories. broken up into short sections, Whether you are traveling by plane, train or car, the audio stores are perfect to pass the time while you gaze out the window and contemplate what happened so many years ago when the Roman Empire was in full swing.

One fun thing to do if you have the entire family traveling together, and not so many devices, is to let one child be the photographer for a day. Let them capture the day’s activities and memories. It’s a great way to get pictures of everyone throughout the vacation.
