#HomeschoolWithBoardGames: Titanic The Game

One of my favorite movies is Titanic and I purchased Titanic the Game for myself last Christmas. But no, one had been wanting to play the Game with me. But this week in our #HomeschoolWithBoarGames: Titanic The Game is what I picked out for us to play. Would you like to join us?

Charlie and I will be studying the Titanic and to begin our studies we will be reading The Story of Titanic for Children: Astonishing Little-Known Facts and Details About the Most Famous Ship in the World.

I plan on having Charlie sit down with me and we will watch Titanic the Movie and discuss what is the same and what is different in the book versus the movie.

1.) What are 3 interesting facts about the Titanic?
