Explore the world together. For many kindergarten students this will be their first introduction to world history. Connect each subject with its corresponding location on an atlas or world map. Introduce them to up-to-date research of early cultures by using visual aids. Create cave paintings with pastels and use a map to show early human migration patterns from Africa. Talk about the early civilizations in the Fertile Crescent, using picture books on the subject. Have your students create arts or crafts about the subject matter. Continue similar linked methods through major periods in history, giving an overview of different continents and their countries.
Honor cultural diversity by holding a culture fest. Discuss where traditions and forms of dress came from both geographically and historically. Encourage students to talk about what they know about their own heritage. Talk about upcoming holidays for various peoples, especially when any of your students relates to the holiday in question. Invite parents or family members to join in by providing culturally appropriate foods in a potluck; tell traditional stories and teach traditional dances or bring in songs to sing.
Celebrate national holidays. Use storytelling and art projects to talk about each national holiday that occurs during the school year. Each one is an opportunity to look at the history behind the celebration and why it is important to your country's citizens.
Incorporate history into other subjects. Science, mathematics, art, music and literature all have their place in history. Discuss popular or common inventions your students would all be able to identify, and talk about their inventors and the time period in which they were created. Link the style of math they learn to philosophers and mathematicians who created the theories or formulas they are learning. When you read a story to your students, make note of where and when the story takes place.
Make games and sing songs related to historical subjects you cover. For example, your national anthem can be learned and sung in conjunction with a national holiday, and a bingo game can be changed to represent major rulers you have introduced instead of the numbers on the board. Use a maze to show the journey of a famous explorer. Coloring pages can show the common dress of people across time and cultures.
