Discover how to make history meaningful for your children! In this excerpt from the Schoolhouse Rocked podcast, Yvette Hampton talks with Linda Lacour Hobar, author of the Mystery of History homeschool curriculum, about a fresh approach to teaching history.

Linda explains why traditional history teaching—focused on dates and events—turns kids off, and why prioritizing people and their stories can spark curiosity and understanding. She also shares practical tips for teaching history through time periods, people, and events, all while weaving in biblical insights.

What you’ll learn in this clip:

  • Why “event-driven” history makes kids hate the subject
  • How to teach history using the funnel method: Time → People → Events
  • How stories of real people, from Cleopatra to John and Abigail Adams, make history come alive

🎯 Perfect for homeschool moms, educators, and anyone looking to make history engaging for kids!
