Historical Conquest Adventure Box

What's in the box: A 20 card Historical Conquest expansion pack on the month's topic, plus lesson plans, K-12 activities, related math, English and science lessons, coloring pages, and access to online learning tools.

Historical Conquest is best known for its history card game. The Adventure Box takes that game and turns it into a monthly history course that comes in the mail. Each month covers a new topic. The box includes lesson plans, activities for students from kindergarten through 12th grade, and related lessons in math, English and science. It also comes with coloring pages and a 20 card expansion pack for the game that matches the month's topic. Subscribers also get access to the company's online tools, HuntThePast and Xogos Gaming. The materials are written for parents and teachers who aren't history experts, with preparation notes and in-class activities to guide them. That makes the box a reasonable fit for homeschool families and classroom teachers. The card game holds it all together, so the box makes the most sense if your kids already play Historical Conquest or are likely to enjoy a strategy card game. If they don't, much of the value is in the printed curriculum. The homepage makes strong claims about how much students remember, and the site does not show where those numbers come from. Price, shipping details and the exact physical contents of each box are not stated on the homepage, so check them before you subscribe.
