In this video we cover the life of Christopher Columbus for kids! This video teaches kids about Christopher Columbus, who he was, why he thought he could sail west to Asia, and what actually happened on his voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. It's hard to imagine because it was so long ago in history, many people thought a person could come aboard a ship in Europe, sail west, and end up in a port in Asia. Columbus was not the first to think this was possible, but he may be the best known because he left journals and logs of his trip. We hope you enjoy learning about this important part of history with us.
