[|BBC Primary History World War 2]
I am really impressed with the wealth of information on this site, but also the age group it is targeted at: primary students. So much of the time, history websites (especially on WWII) are geared toward older students. This[| site]is very kid friendly in its verbiage, images, and content. This is a great [|site]to explore with your class to learn more about World War II. Students will learn about the world at war, evacuations, wartime homes, food and shopping, the war time efforts, children at war, air raids, daily life, growing up during wartime, and the end of the war. Each section has easy-to-understand information and pictures. Students can also be a historical detective with a World War II time capsule game. The teacher section has an amazing collection of related worksheets, activities, and links that can be used with the site.
