Introducing the FREE History Storytime podcast
Are you looking for ways to give children a love of history? Do you need wonderful KS1 and KS2 relevant History content to reinforce home schooling?
Introducing the FREE History Storytime podcast. By children. For children.
Sophie (aged 7) and Ellie (aged 4) tell stories from history with their Daddy. This is the only History podcast to put children at the heart of the story.
Alternately gripping, funny, exciting, yet educational, they are firm favourites. There are over 20 episodes already to choose from. They include:
And many more...
Unique or well known songs that children can sing-a-long with bring the history to life. Hear Florence Nightingale's own voice or Winston Churchill's speeches. Children can hear Sophie deliver the actual speeches given by Elizabeth I at Tilbury or by Boudicca before her final battle. There is an emphasis on laughter and singing. Above all they give children a love of history.
Sophie and Ellie's Daddy is a History graduate so the story is accurate and pitched at the right level.
But don't just believe us. 20,000 unique downloads, with 1,000s of children regularly listening, and being a top rated podcast in Apple can't be wrong.
It's a FREE resource for you to use. Have a listen yourself. And if you like us then do share us with your parents and children in these times of lockdown.
