30+ of the Best World War II Homeschool Resources
World War 2 resources are plentiful. But which ones are worth using? This list of ideas for middle & high school will enhance your study, especially for topics beyond D-Day & Pearl Harbor .
We adored Story of the World. ADORED it. (Still do, in fact. We often reference it for a quick overview or refresher on a topic.) One of my few homeschool regrets is taking so long to try it out because I heard some bad reviews. I don’t have many regrets, but that is one of them. BUT.
(There’s always a but.)
Sometimes, we wanted to dive deeper into a topic than she does, particularly when we were studying American history. We did just that when we studied the Revolutionary War & the Civil War. When we studied World War 1 , we did a long pause. My public schools mostly glanced right over the topic & I was excited to dig into it. And sometimes, I wanted to add more alternative views than what could possibly be included in a curriculum.
Pausing the regular book & diving into a topic for a few weeks has been our solution. We get to keep the curriculum we love AND benefit from diving into a topic. On a personal level, I enjoy them myself because it gives me a chance to learn quite a bit more than I already knew.
I divide up our in-depth units into general themes. We may stay on the same theme for a few days until everything is completed, or we may cycle through them so we are doing something new each day.
The themes I used for this unit study included:
- So it begins (conditions that led us back into another world war)
- War in Africa
London Blitz
- Day-to-Day Life: On the American Homefront
- And So It Ends (atomic bomb, peace treaties, Nuremberg Trials)
Creating a World War 2 Unit Study
Creating a homeschool unit study doesn’t have to be intimidating. We’re lucky to live in a time when we have so many free resources readily available. Creating a unit study that is customized to your own family’s interests is my favorite thing about them.
- When I create a new unit, my first step is to decide how long we will do it. And then I add at least one more week on — it always takes us longer than I expected!
- Next, I decide if we want to do brief overviews of several topics or a deep dive into just a couple of them. There isn’t a right answer; both serve their purpose. The first time we studied World War 2, I chose to do an overview. My kiddos were in 2nd-7th grade & had some knowledge, but we hadn’t studied it in a structured way. I wanted to lay a foundation of basic knowledge on which they could then add layers of knowledge.
- Next up, narrow down your topics. For our first go-round, my themes were So It Begins (conditions that led us back into a world war), War in Africa, London Blitz, On the American Homefront, Propaganda, And So It Ends (atomic bomb, peace treaties, Nuremberg Trials).
- Next, what weeks are you going to do it? What else is going on that week? How long will you do it each day? It’s really easy to make your unit study plans — and then realize they aren’t going to work for the time you have to do it!
- Finally, it’s time to have fun. What kinds of resources are your favorite? We love videos, so I like to add those every day. I don’t enjoy reading out loud, so I schedule no more than 30 minutes of that. (We’re in the car quite a bit, so listening to audiobooks & podcasts is an option for us.) Does your family enjoy creating art? Are you science-minded? Keep all of that in mind as you start locating resources.
The Road to World War 2
- The Century: Over the Edge (Covering 1936-1941 leading to our entrance into the war.)
- What Happened to the Man Who Defied Hitler? (The story behind the man in the viral picture.)
- 1936 Olympics
- The Nazi Olympics
- Causes of World War 2
- How Europe Went to War in 1939 (Europe’s Lead-up to the war.)
- The Road to Pearl Harbor (Amazon Prime, 16 episodes, a bit dry, so we watched bits & pieces)
Other World War 2 Resources
- Timeline cards depicting the major events of the Second World War
- Various WW2 printables & lesson aids (search for WW2)
- Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms
- World War II Database (images, photos, locations, equipment, etc)
- Albert Einsteins’s Miracle Year
- Albert Einstein & the Age of Extremism
Museums & Historical Sites about the Second World War
Museum websites are one of my first stops when I’m searching for primary sources, activity ideas, virtual tours, lesson plans, etc. Their educational sections are often far more helpful than Google! I’ve also found eager help when I’ve reached out to educational coordinators for many museums.
- Britain’s Imperial War Museums
- The National WW II Museum
- United States Air Force WW 2 Gallery
- United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
- Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center
- Verzetsmuseum (Dutch Resistance Museum)
- Museum of the Great Patriotic War
- Royal Military Museum (Belgium)
- Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site (video tour)
Books about World War 2
Teaching about horrific events, including World War 2, in an age-appropriate way is often a challenge. Can your youngest handle the same details that your oldest did? What images are too graphic? How do you teach the serious impact without overwhelming your kiddos?
While we’re a big documentary family, when it comes to young kids, I always introduced heavy topics via books. I liked to start with gentle books that were focused on the time period, skirted around the issue, or focused on the helpers. (For example, books like Twenty & Ten, The Grand Mosque of Paris, and Rosie the Riveter: The Legacy of an American Icon.)
World War 2 Chapter Books for Grades 4-6
- What was Pearl Harbor?
- Twenty & Ten (A sweet, short story of French children & Jewish children. The audiobook is well done.)
- What was the bombing of Hiroshima?
- Woeful Second World War by Horrible Histories (or the video version )
Historical Fiction for Middle Schoolers
- The War That Saved My Life
- The Winged Watchman
- A Faraway Island

Famous quotes from World War II
“Danger gathers upon our path. We cannot afford—we have no right—to look back. We must look forward.”
— British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, December 1936
“Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a 1941 speech asking Congress to declare war
“It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”
— Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
“Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been won.”
— U.S. General Douglas MacArthur, supreme commander of the Allied Powers, after Japan’s formal surrender in September 1945
Key Figures
Four world war ii figures who made an impact.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Roosevelt, who served as U.S. president from 1933-1945, tried to avoid U.S. involvement in World War II but changed course after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He partnered with Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and China to defeat Germany and its allies.
Born in 1929, Frank was 13 years old when she and her Jewish family were forced into hiding in the Netherlands to avoid Nazi persecution. They were discovered two years later and sent to concentration camps, where Frank died. After the war, her father published her diary, which has been read by millions of people.
Adolf Hitler
Hitler ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945 and led the Nazi Party. He sought to reestablish Germany as a leading power in Europe by seizing land from other countries and eliminating European Jews. Hitler killed himself on April 30, 1945, after realizing he faced certain defeat.
Winston Churchill
As prime minister of Great Britain during World War II, Churchill gave powerful speeches and famously resisted tyranny. He is largely credited with Britain’s decision to ally with the United States and the Soviet Union--a strategy that helped end the war.

World War 2 Teaching Ideas
- October 15, 2021
This post is written by history specialist Anne.
Whether you are studying the Second World War as a history topic, or are looking for some resources to extend your work on Remembrance Day , take a look at our new World War 2 resources. Our Second World War lesson presentations include lots of factual information, photographs and offer a real insight into what happened and the effect on people’s lives during the war. Explore our World War 2 teaching ideas today!
Battle of Britain KS2 teaching resources
Our Battle of Britain KS2 lesson presentation takes you and your children through the key events of the Battle of Britain. Learn about Hitler’s first plans for an invasion of Britain named ‘Operation Sealion’, the battle in the air between German and RAF planes, and how a new British radar system ultimately led to Hitler’s first defeat of the Second World War.
Allied Forces KS2 teaching resources
British Allies from all over the Commonwealth and the world joined forces to stop and defeat the Nazis. On the other side, the Nazis joined together with Italy and Japan to form the Axis.
Explore some of the key events involving the Allies through the text, illustrations and photographs in our Allies KS2 lesson presentation . Find out about the events of Dunkirk, the D-day landings, the role of the Soviet Army, and the atomic bombs which were dropped on Japan at the end of the war.
The Home Front KS2 teaching resources
If you want to investigate how the Second World War affected the lives of ordinary people, then this Home Front KS2 lesson presentation is perfect. It illustrates how everyone in Britain contributed to the war effort and had to change their daily lives. Women took on men’s roles and worked in hospitals treating the injured, children were evacuated from their homes, whilst regular air raids and rationing affected the everyday lives of the British people.
The Holocaust KS2 teaching resources
The Holocaust was a horrific event that occured during the Second World War. Though not suitable for study by younger children, it is important that older children have an understanding of the way the Nazis discriminated against some groups of people.
We have created a thoughtful and sensitive Holocaust KS2 lesson presentation on the Holocaust for use with older KS2 children. The presentation refers to the concentration camps, Anne Frank and her family, and the rules that the Jewish people had to follow. It also explains how some people were freed and how we remember all the victims today. As with all of our presentations, it is editable so it can be adapted to the needs and sensitivities of your own children and we strongly advise that you read through all of the text before using with your class.

World War 2 Day Ideas
The ideas below were contributed by teachers from all around the world when I was planning a World War 2 day with my Year 5 class. Thanks to everyone who helped.
- Pupils create identity cards before the day.
- Dressing up, of course.
- Writing postcards home.
- Make luggage labels.
- Listening to the ‘wireless’ (old broadcasts may be available on Youtube).
- Recreating the famous broadcast – podcasting throughout the day.
- Watching British Pathe news clips.
- Siren alerts – (fire alarms) children have to get under the table or into an air raid shelter.
- Make a video recording of what to do in the blackout.
- Inviting in community members who were evacuated to be interviewed – these can then be written up by children and shared on a school website and blog – also useful for archiving podcasting interviews.
- Children to research what happened in the local area during the War, e.g. photos of buildings that survived and why.
- Science – investigating what materials are best seen in a blackout (or not seen).
- I really love the idea of radio broadcasts. Audacity is a great tool for recording and creating it.
- Give children names which were common during the period.
- Carry out radio broadcasts and news reports on both the Battle of Britain and VE Day.
- Invite members of the British Legion in and recreate a street party! They are really helpful and like coming in and sharing their stories – we have linked it to what is going on now, as well as the country now celebrates a Veterans Day for all who served in June each year.
- DT activity – using recipes from Home front books. Lots are available online, and children can cook these!
- As part of the shelters topic, they had to ‘design’ what they thought would be the ‘best’ shelter using given materials.
- What about talking to someone on the other side of the pond? Maybe a Skype/IM event where you talk with another class about WWII?
- DT/Maths – design and make a gas mask box.
- Watch an episode of Dad’s Army or extracts from other videos (e.g. Goodnight Mr Tom, Carrie’s War, videos from BBC class clips, etc.).
- Role-play interviews with characters from the period.
- Use Crazy Talk with a photo of Winston Churchill. The pupils would love to see his lips moving.
- How about writing in role – in a shelter – freeze framing and then thought talking to follow? They could be shown a photo of children / family in the shelter and try to express how the people feel.
- Think about being evacuated and taking a suitcase of your favourite items. What would you put in it? Bring some of them into school to discuss. Children bring a small bag with their favourite items in it.
- Learning simple first aid – like how to make a sling or put somebody in the recovery position. It would be an important skill in times of war. Maybe invite St John’s Ambulance or the Red Cross?
- You could write ‘found’ poetry where children look at poems written by others about war and collect words and phrases from them and then create their own poetry by selecting and rearranging – this could be linked to freeze-framing.
- Make a book quiz using a word cloud tool. Copy and paste extracts from books for people to guess the book…. This could be done with war extracts.
- What about sticking tape across the windows of classrooms to stop them from shattering if a bomb were to explode? You could also try blacking some out, too.
- What are they going to eat on the day? Can you get dried eggs nowadays? They should also see suet – there is a whole history of food here.
- Think about ‘voice’ and the cooks of the day – was it Margureite Patten. It’s great to do a comparison with Jamie Oliver in terms of how formality etc, has changed. Could you write instructions in the style of both?
- Design WW2 campaign posters and slogans. Have a look at this site for lots of lesson ideas about using the campaign posters – https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/wwii-posters/
- Make Anderson shelters in DT. Use Go Control, and they will build procedures to control their shelters – e.g. the lookout sees the planes coming, then air-raid siren sounds, light comes on in shelter etc. After a preset time, the all-clear siren goes etc…
- Sing WW2 songs. What about learning actions as well – think, “Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run”.
- Watch WW2 dramas… Spywatch is fantastic.
- Suitcase activity – what would they pack if they were being evacuated? What does the content of a particular case tell us about its owner?
- Get the children to bring in a cereal box, design a suitcase and then put things that an evacuee would have in the suitcase (suggested by Katie Warriner).
- Photograph the day using 21st-century technology, then use editing software to make B&W / sepia and add effects to make it look like old photos.
- I am sure there is lots of map work – is it possible to find ‘old’ maps online?
- Use a tool like Google Docs for collaboration on the day. Have a document up on the computer, and throughout the day, messages are sent to the pupils, e.g. is there anyone out there? My house is under attack, etc. This could also be used to communicate between different classes… and share experiences of the day. If all classes are doing WW2 day, then each can be given a different role and therefore respond differently to the messages. Home guard, RAF, Land army, etc.
- How about a virtual telegraph STOP? They could send each other telegram-type messages STOP. Makes children be aware of full stops STOP.
- Overlap with English dept – The Machine Gunners is a brilliant novel aimed at young teenagers.
- What about a short drama about feelings, saying goodbye to Mum as you’re packed off on the train to the countryside? How does it feel as you leave the station/arrive at your destination?
- Could you do some dancing? Find out about dancing from the period and try it out for yourself!
- …and following on, what about some WW2 music? You could get students to write extra verses / analyse the mood / message of different songs.
- It would be a good idea to develop the unit by COMPARING the experience in the UK with that of civilians in Russia (Leningrad) and Germany (Dresden) – otherwise, it gets a bit “Anglocentric”…
- Art – how about some dramatic ‘going over the top’ paintings?
- The day itself could be interspersed with “events” that can be presented to the students via radio broadcasts from Chamberlain (declaration of war) through Churchill (“Fight them on the beaches” etc) through to 1945; for each, the students could keep their own “war diary” so that as well as getting the empathetical skills, they are also developing their chronological understanding of the main events. Lord Haw-Haw’s broadcasts could be used too, all the way up to VE day (“we may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing”, etc).
- ‘In the Mood’ – get the children to imagine they are playing instruments – and join together to form an orchestra with a band leader. Learn the Lambeth Walk and Jitterbug – Pathe News have great clips of both these dances. Why not teach the children how to waltz? There must be some parents out there who would come in for an afternoon.
- A simple timeline always keeps things in perspective. I like to use research groups to look at different aspects of the same subject, and each group adds to the same timeline using online tools.
- Could you ask parents to come in at the end or beginning of the day to ‘choose’ their evacuees to take home with them? We did this in school and it was good fun!
