KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments
"Super terrific. Funny and educational at the same time. Reviews American history that many of us have forgotten. Uses wide variety of formats, from puppets to animation to live action re-enactments to mock juries. Flows well and holds interest. There is really nothing else out there like these that we're aware of."
KIDS FIRST!® KID Juror Comments
"Most loved it, especially the boys. Some even requested a copy to bring to their 8th grade history teacher who responded to their raves. "I wish my own teacher was as cool as this one. I learned a lot and I hate history." Some 12-year-old girls did not like it one bit and said, "It wasn't very interesting." Boys, ages 7, 10, and 13, loved it. They had learned about the issues presented in their history classes and liked how they were presented. They told their friends how cool it is and wanted to donate it to their church library so the homeschoolers could use it."
KIDS FIRST!® evaluates, rates, and endorses children's feature films, DVDs, videos, audio recordings and television using a volunteer, community-based jury comprising child development professionals, teachers and parents as well as children from diverse geographic, socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds.
Parent Review
Great for parents wanting American history in the home. Our kids have really benefited from the Find the Fun Productions American history series. It is brilliant in its use of original and period songs, and humor and music. Very entertaining so the kids weren't bored by it, which has been an issue when learning history from books at school. Worth the price because it is so unique!"
Dear parents and those home schooling American history,
Whether you have decided to accept the challenge of home schooling American history, or you are looking for educational yet fun American history media for the home, it is vital to be able to offer American history media that will truly engage your learners.
When searching for educational media on American history, you may feel your only choice is between formats offering dry historical reenactments or erudite discussion and footage of historical sites. Often such media isn't meant for children at home learning or home schooling, and in the end, such media has little impact.
There is another format, a highly engaging theatrical format that employs a wide range of teaching modalities using song, puppetry, costumed characters, humor, drama, and interactive extension activities and study guides -- perfect for those who want to home school American history or parents who want educational yet fun American history media.
Only Find the Fun Productions’ American history DVDs, music, and videos reach a diverse range of learners from second-language learners, to learners with challenges, to gifted students.
