Ancient Greece for Kids
Children are often surprised to find just how much
impact the Ancient Greeks had on our lives today - in the arts,
mathematics, philosophy, science, literature, theatre and politics
(democracy). And of course the Olympics, coming up again in 2008,
provide a perfect excuse to explore Ancient Greece and the first
Olympics, held in the city of Olympia in 776 BC. We have many ideas to
help you in your explorations below, including crafts with an Ancient
Greek theme, Greek myths, puzzles based on the Greek gods and myths, and
themed printables to use in your school projects and notebooks.
