It was a Sunday afternoon and I was 8 years old. My sisters and I had been busy playing outdoors and were coming in for a drink of water when we noticed our mom tracing circles of various dimensions. Intrigued, I walked over and asked what she was doing. She put down the protractor and with a sparkle in her eye told me that we were going to learn about the solar system that week and watercolor the planets. We were quite taken with the idea and begged her to let us start painting right then! She agreed and we proceeded to pour over books, making careful plans to properly represent each planet. While we were busily painting, my dad walked inside. He teasingly accused my mom of being quite the slave driver – making the kids do school, even on a Sunday.
My reply:
“Oh Dad, this isn’t school. This is KONOS!”
My homeschool story began just over 27 years ago. As a very active, late-bloomer, I was floundering in school. My parents pulled me out half-way through first grade simply so they could teach me how to read.
Well, they kept going. A year and half later she discovered KONOS. As an active, kinesthetic type of learner, I was the catalyst that thrust our family into choosing this out-of-the-box learning approach. But all three of us girls flourished with this literature rich, hands-on learning approach despite our different learning styles (kinesthetic, visual and auditory). We have a childhood filled with wonderful memories and a vast foundation of knowledge that really stuck due to the multi-sensory approach that KONOS provides.
I love science – especially neuroscience and the learning brain, in case you hadn’t figured out after my recent series on boosting brain power. As my children approached school age, I knew I wanted my children to enjoy the benefits of these same wonderful learning experiences. While I designed my own curriculum for preschool and kindergarten, we’ve turned to KONOS once again in recent years. Can’t you just tell how excited we were when my mom handed me that saved set of KONOS 5.5 years ago? {note the books hiding my pregnant w/ Trey belly}
What is KONOS?
I love KONOS and the whole philosophy that it is built on – that children learn best by doing, and that your family can learn together, and that learning can be an enjoyable experience! KONOS is the ‘grand-daddy of unit studies’ and has birthed most of the unit study programs currently on the market today. But several things set it apart from others.
- Based around character traits. The overarching purpose is to develop godly character through studying various topics. We are learning about ORDERLINESS right now. Within this unit we explore and discover the order of our solar system, the beauty of the seasons as well as classification for plants, animals and rocks.
- Promotes multi-level teaching. I love creating a home where we learn. When we are all delving into the same topic it goes a long way to promoting this lifestyle of learning as well as saving my sanity. Aside from math and language arts {phonics/spelling/grammar}, we do everything else together as a family. KONOS allows for the same activities to be done together as a family, but provides direction for differing writing assignments, books read and depth to which a topic is explored.
- Combines living and library books with hands-on, ACTIVE activities. Many programs have crafts, but KONOS does an amazing job at getting entire bodies engaged in the learning process. Yes, I’m pretty passionate about movement and the role it plays in learning…
- Includes all of the basics except for math, phonics/spelling, grammar. {Makes my life SO much easier!}
- The timeline gives a visual picture of how ALL aspects of history fit together -scientific discoveries as well as political histories, etc.
- Incorporates 5 D’s to motivate learners:
The three colorful books I’m holding in the picture above are the 3 ‘original’ KONOS volumes – each containing different character traits and related topics for 2-3 years worth of study. I love these main volumes because there is such a wealth of activities to choose from – especially when it comes to character development. If you are like me and love to have lots of choices at your finger tips, than this is a treasure trove of wonderful ideas to help learning come alive and provide guidance for rich dialogue.
But sometimes there are seasons that are busier than others or you may be the type that prefers open-and-go instead of having more control to craft your own path.
KONOS-IN-A-BOX or BAG
This last semester, I decided to use one of the KONOS-in-a-box books. I knew that I had a lot on my plate and was willing to lose some of the flexibility in planning that I like in order to pursue an easier route. I have to say that I am so impressed with these curriculum books that go with the in-a-box or in-a-bag series!
The main volumes have general lesson plans, but it still requires you to flip through the book. The Obedience and Orderliness units were taken out of the main volumes, expanded and put into a daily lesson plan format. This makes it so much easier to flip through the pages for that week and easily get an idea of what you are going to do.
Each week starts with the following components:
Weekly Objectives – giving the big picture for the week. |
People you will learn about – so you can know who to find maybe an extra biography on. |
Vocabulary Words – to be mindful to incorporate into your conversations and/or use as spelling words |
Book Recommendations & Related Library Subjects – including dewey decimal search numbers |
Additional Materials Needed – so you see at a glance what you might still need. |
And then it lays everything out for each day of the week including a daily Bible, literature-analysis and creative writing lessons followed by the classic KONOS hands-on activities to reinforce what your family is reading about. I wanted to make things extra easy for myself this year, delve a little deeper into astronomy and bring a Christian worldview into it, so we’ve utilized Apologia’s astronomy text. It’s been a win-win for us to not wade through all of the evolution stuff from the library books plus the rich multi-sensory, movement rich activities from the KONOS Orderliness unit.
This is a perfect option for those wanting to pursue active unit-study-based learning, but want a little more direction along the way. It is written in dialogue format and doesn’t assume prior knowledge. You also have the option to order the whole curriculum in a box that includes the main books you’ll need as well as unusual art supplies – again making life easier.
I have to do a shout-out here because my mom, yes MY MOM, helped write the Russia KONOS-in-a-bag curriculum. She undertook this labor of love while I was in college and wrote all of the Bible lessons and most of the activities that go with this unit. I’m looking forward to doing this with my own kids in a few years!

Hi Heather!
I preferred to email this question to you through your contact link but I keep getting an invalid security code.
I have been doing a lot of curriculum research lately. I am going to try KONOS with my 1st grade son. My other two sons are too young yet. I was fortunate enough last week to mention KONOS to a new friend at our co-op. She had a copy of volume 1 and gave it to me! hooray! however, I was curious to know if having a newer edition would be needful or not. The last copyright date listed on my copy is 1997. You use the same editions your mom used for you, correct? Are there newer editions and are they different enough to consider purchasing over a much older but free copy? I cannot seem to find information on different editions on their website or elsewhere.
Thank you for your time.

Carolyn Aleksa says
I want to try Konos with my 2 young boys. They are very active and need hands on learning. I would love the obedience box. I want to see them desire to learn again!
Ruthy says
So glad to have found this site. This will be my first year.
Pei says
Both Orderliness & Obedience look great.
kort says
Africa please! thanks for this wonderful opportunity!
Linda Bossle says
I would love to have the Russia or Africa book.
Christine Fox says
I have heard amazing things about KONOS, but I have not had a chance to try it. I am looking forward to utilizing it this year in our homeschool.
cati says
Awesome~!!
Rebecca Jacobson says
Obedience!
Amberlee B says
I would love the Obedience-in-a-box! Thanks!
Jessica says
Ohhhhh! With one year of homeschool under my belt, I know I would love this curriculm. I like the Kono in a box the best. May have to check into this one for next year.
Kayleigh W says
Thank you for writing a review on this. I have seen this curriculum around the web in various place and thought no this isn’t for me. I guess I just couldn’t visualize it. Now that I have a much better idea I will definitely put this on my maybe/wish list of homeschool curriculum. I would love to win it. That would just be spectacular.
Amy B says
We already have Obedience, and it was a hard choice between attentiveness and orderliness but I think I would go with attentiveness.
Tabitha says
Patience! My kids could use this one 😉
Alicia Charmbury says
KONOS in a box Obedience!
Dana Lambert says
Obedience would be our choice for Konos in a Box. My daughter would absolutely love the horse study and the added Obedience study would be a much needed bonus as well!
Lucinda says
I think they all look great but i’m thinking orderliness or obedience would be awesome!
Julia J says
Orderliness is much needed in our home. ;D
Carla C says
It is so hard to decide! I have always wanted to try Konos and they all look fun. I guess the Obedience one would be a good starting point. Great giveaway, Thanks!
Christy says
We would love all of them, but the Orderliness would fit with what we studied this year! How fun!!
Tina says
I would love to try the Africa one. I’ve always been intrigued by Konos but have never tried it.
Jackie says
Obedience!!!
Alycia A says
i would love to get “Attentiveness In-A-Box” i used KONOS with my oldest, 10 years ago, and she loved it!
Crystal Collier says
I’m always looking for new and great curriculum. Thanks for the recommendation. I’m off to check it out!
April says
Yay for this hands on so can’t wait to try it
Kristin DeWees says
I don’t know if I am copying the links for my tweets correctly because my entries aren’t updating. (I’m trying hard to win this!!)
Heather says
Let me look into this. I’ve never used this feature before. Are you having trouble copying the direct link or is the rafflecopter widget not recognizing your new entry?
Kristin DeWees says
I’ve been copying the link to my “tweets” page but I can’t get the individual links to tweets with the directions that rafflecooter said. It will give me the two entries initially but then the next day they are gone. Don’t go nuts over it, you are a busy lady 🙂
Heather says
If you click on the time to the right of your tweet it will bring up a unique url for that tweet alone and not your general twitter page. Will that work if you try that tomorrow morning?
Kristin says
I finally got the right url. I think the problem was my iPad. I couldn’t get the url from the individual tweet. So I think my first 4 tweets (I guess that is 8 entries) did not register with rafflecopter because I was back to 7 entries today before the one I just put in.
Kristin says
Or maybe it’s not working. I was back to 7 entries again today. Just letting you know, not asking you to go to great lengths to figure it out!
Tiffany Miller says
Orderliness would be wonderful! Thank you so much!
Amber W. says
I’m thinking Obedience 🙂
Diani says
Orderliness Curriculum =)

id want the orderliness book! thanks for the chance

Sonja says
Wow! So hard to decide! While I was looking, I was thinking definitely Attentiveness box curricula, then my sons both got really excited looking at the Obedience! So…I’m not really sure which would be a better fit. We struggle with both character qualities here. We are going back to homeschooling after having the boys in a very small Christian school for the past two years due to my health. I think KONOS would be a wonderful way to pull our family back together! Since they seemed to be very interested in the Obedience, I guess I’d be happy with that one too! Thanks for your post & giveaway!
Christina Hewitt says
I would love the Obedience in-the-box. I have been wanting to use Konos but I am one who would like to see something before ordering anything.
Kellie says
My boys would love the Obedience!!! Sounds like so much fun!!!
Stacy says
I would choose the obedience curriculum. Thanks for this review. We are looking for something new to use and this just may be what we need to get excited about homeschooling again!

I think the Attentiveness curriculum sounds interesting and covers a lot of things we haven’t studies yet.
Anna b says
We would love to try the orderliness with our 8 children! I already own the first volume but can’t seem to get started!

Tammy Baco says
I think Orderliness would be great around here!
Kristi J. says
I’m gearing up for my little boy’s 1st grade year and he is such a science guy! I’ve never heard of this curriculum and it looks so intriguing! I would definitely love the obedience for my first round! Not only would he love it but I think my three year old could benefit too from the hands on approach. Such a great giveaway!
Heather says
It is great for pulling in your younger ones. I’ve constantly been amazed at how much my toddlers and preschoolers have learned right along side the rest of us!
Carrie Homann says
Your explanation and review of KONOS has been very helpful. I spent some time looking at my friend’s copy that her mom used with her when she was little. I do like the updated version and the way it’s laid out with lesson plans now. We would be blessed by the Obedience curriculum.
Kristi F. says
We’d love the book on Africa! Thank you for this!
Holly Schaad says
I would dearly love to win the Attentiveness book. Thank you!
Sally says
Obedience would be my choice. Not only do my children need to improve in that trait, but they all love the princess/knight theme.
Tracey M. says
I would definitely choose the Obedience unit. I have been looking at the materials for years and would love to actually try it. My daughter is extremely interested in kings and queens. I already scheduled a horse unit and lapbook for this year. The Obedience study covers horses – this would be a great fit and the lapbook could be a supplement. We have been dealing with some disobedience lately and would like to address the issues in a positive way. The Obedience study is a character training study so it may be the answer for our family. Thank you for the opportunity to win this book!
Steve Thompson says
I’d love try Obedience with our 10 year old daughter. She is proving to be a handful and we are running out of ideas.
Carla Ellendson says
I think we would benefit greatly from KONOS Obedience. Thank you for the opprotunity to win!
Juliette says
Hi, I am just starting to homeschool my kids this year and looking for a Bible based curriculum that I can use. I was trying to make up my own, but its turning out to be a bit harder than I thought. I really can’t afford to buy one a ready made one, and I don’t want to use the public school Connections Academy curriculum. I would love to have the Obedience in a box!
Heather says
Have you tried finding anything used? I know in my area there is a big used curriculum fair every June and there are a couple of facebook groups where you can put out feelers for used curriculum that you are looking for. That is how I found the Apologia Astronomy book that we used to supplement our KONOS Orderliness unit this semester.
Dusty S. says
We will be using a KONOS in a Box this fall for the first time ever. We are using Obedience, but I’d love to win Orderliness for the second half of our year!
Jessica says
Haven’t even researched Konos, but I’m interested now. 🙂 The Obedience curriculum would be my pick.
Emily Quesenberry says
I would love attentiveness in a box……I have three boys…..enough said,lol. I am always trying to keep their attention. My daughter is so much easier when it comes to that.

Alana P. says
Oh, how I miss KONOS!!! I’d love to get Obedience if I won…
Carrie says
This is new to me, thank you for sharing KONOS in detail! I think I’d select Orderliness since it covers a lot of what I’m planning for next year, esp the solar system and rocks!
Gina says
I love Konos!! We are on volume 1 and would love to elaborate in attentiveness!! 🙂
Kathy says
Absolutely the obedience curriculum!!! Thanks!
Meghan says
I just wanted to tell you what a blessing finding this post has been. I think, in conjunction with five in a row, I have just found something that will work for my future homeschol. Konos looks exactly like what ive been searching for, but couldnt find.
I think we would enjoy the orderlieness unit. We are BIG on nature and outdoors, so this unit looks like it’d be perfect for us.
Thank you. 🙂
Heather says
Oh that makes me so happy, Meghan! I just love when we find ‘exactly what we’ve been searching for.’ Those are divine moments for sure. We are big on nature and the outdoors over here too!

I am so excited to read this post! We are moving to Kazakhstan this summer and I am preparing to do the Russia in a Bag when we get started there. How exciting that your mom helped write it! I think Konos will be a much better fit for our family, so after Russia I will definitely continue!
Heather says
How exciting to get to learn about Russia and get to experience it as well! Your children are so blessed!
Jennifer says
We’d love to win the Obedience in a box! Thank you!
Stephanie E. says
Obedience would be perfect for us!!

Meg Dickey says
We would love the Orderliness Unit! We are working our way thru Vol 1, and I would so appreciate some extra “oomph” once we get to that unit!

I’m a home school graduate myself who has just completed 1st grade with my oldest. I’m still definitely in the figuring-out-what-works-best-for-us stage and KONOS looks like an interesting option. I’d love to try the Obedience set. Thanks!
Sarah M. says
I couldn’t get the website to load correctly, so I couldn’t choose a unit. But from everyone else’s comments, the Obedience one would be great (especially if it has horses!).
Heather says
haha, maybe we overloaded the server. A bunch of comments came in at the same time… Obedience covers Kings/Queens, Horses and a section on Light/Lighthouses! You’ll love it! The Kings/Queens were a favorite in our girl home growing up and a total hit with my boys!
Kelly McClure says
I would love to win the obedience or attentiveness one! 😛

Obedience. My kiddos could use this as well. 😉 Looks like an awesome curriculum! Thanks!
Jenn W says
I would love the Obedience in a box curriculum. 🙂
Jamie says
Though I really want the Obedience curriculum I think my children would be more inclined to enjoy the Attentiveness curriculum which would be a good prelude to the Obedience curriculum.
Heather says
We did Attentiveness first and I felt like it was an excellent precursor to Obedience. You have to pay attention before you can obey, right?
Beth says
Obedience in a box, please
Amanda says
Attentiveness! We need some help 🙂
Deven says
Oh how I would love Russia!
Cassi says
Konos is the curriculum I’m actually planning to get, so I would LOVE to win!
Deven says
Oh how I would love Russia! I’ve been looking at it repeatedly!
Heather Brandt says
I’d choose the Russia one b/c we adopted our son from Russia and it would help him learn about his heritage.
Kristen says
I just started Konos with my son about a month ago. I would love the Orderliness book!
Amy Martin says
Obedience, we need some help with this around here
Andrea says
I think I would like the Attentiveness one best. I have looked in to Konos. We are beginning our first year of homeschool with my 5 year old. I was challenged to really get a handle on what they offer from their website. We went with something else because I could not grasp what it was or how it would work. It would be interesting to win this and be able to determine if it would work for us. Thanks! Your post was enlightening.
Sharon Ankerich says
I have a horse lover girl so think Obedience would be a GREAT place to start!!!!!
LASHELLE says
Obedience Unit! That is where we’d LOVE to start.
Jan says
I have been using Konos for 18 years and love it! I have everything, but I would like to win Orderliness for a family in my co-op:-)
Heather Horton says
Would love to try KONOS Orderliness! 🙂
Beata says
The Obedience looks like a good fit for us here.
Kara Curlin says
I would love the oderliness curriculum!!
Heather says
I’m the original Konos blogger from 2005 and used it with both of my teens. I would pick Africa because it isn’t in the big Volumes which I have all 3 of! I love KONOS and plan to use it again starting next year or so with my little boys who are now 2 and 4. My teens are about to be in their last few years of high school, and they are going to help me be teacher this time around! 🙂
Tammy says
Obedience!
Dianne says
We would love to try the Obedience In-A-Box. I have a very strong-willed and opinionated three year old, who would benefit greatly from this curriculum. Thank you so much for the opportunity to try to win it.
Dana says
I would love to win the Africa study. My dear, sweet boy (7) wants to learn about the entire continent. This would be a great start.
Amy @ Raising Arrows says
Oh, how I wish I had never given away my KONOS curriculum (all 3 volumes! Woe is me!) I would love to have that set again, but since that’s not an option how about Orderliness or Obedience. 🙂
AdenaF says
I just wanted to say that it is so nice to meet another person who has grown up the Konos way. I started homeschooling 16 yrs ago and used Konos. It is the one curriculum that to this day, my kids can still remember most of what they learned. It is tried and true. There are so many new curriculum being published each year that it gets overwhelming. Konos is the best way to teach multiple ages at the same time and help kids to retain what they have learned.
Tammy Crowder says
Obedience! Boy do we need that!
Amy R says
I would love to try this! Looks great!
Jasmine says
I have never used KONOS but I think the kiddos would love the Africa study!
Erin o. says
I would choose Obedience. Looks so fun!
Christina P says
Obedience in a box looks like a great study for us right now.
Jennie says
Obedience In-A-Box

Colleen Kessler says
I’d love the obedience set — and have been toying with the idea of purchasing it myself.
Abby says
The Obedience one for sure! We could always use more practice in this area! And horses and queens- my girls would be in their glory!
Traci says
We would love to try the Obedience in a box!
Susan says
Definitely obedience! We have 2 stubborn boys that think they know best.
Kirsten says
I’d love to win the Obedience unit!
Mariah says
I would love to win the Obedience package! Thank you for this opportunity!
Kymberly says
Konos! Yay, I am so glad you reviewed this great curriculum! We have been researching this and believe this is a great fit for our family. The obedience unit is our pick! We love God and desire to obey Him!
Joesette says
Attentiveness in a box would be great for our family!
Marianne says
I’m leaning towards Obedience as well. We’re studying Medeival History next year so it fits in nicely. 🙂
Susan says
Would love the orderliness one! 🙂
Phyllis at All Things Beautiful says
If I won, I would love Africa: The Land of Stewardship. We are going to be studying Africa the first thing next year, but I don’t have what curriculum I am going to use yet.
Shannon Wallace says
I believe we would learn a lot from Attentiveness! Glad to meet someone who uses KONOS (and used as a student) successfully! 🙂
When we first started homeschooling, I bought all three volumes (the original) and one of the “box” ones, and ended up giving them away. I just felt inadequate to do all of that planning. Now that I have a few years under my belt, I feel confident we could easily use it, and love it! Thanks!
Laura Watts says
We would love to try this! I think obedience would be our first choice.
Karen says
We would love the Orderliness box. We would love to try KONOS.
Karen in tn
lucy lewis says
Would love to try the attentiveness.
Emm says
Attentiveness since that’s the one we don’t have
Cheryl says
I would love to use the Attentiveness unit with my 4 very INattentive children!
Debbie says
Attentiveness! That is the one Box guide I do not have and would love to teach in our group! 🙂
Lacy Sanford says
I will be a first time homeschooler this fall. I would love KONOS attentiveness for my three sweet boys. I’ve already chosen my math and LA, this would be a perfect completion to our studies! Thank you for offering it!

LOVE Konos! We’ve done several of the units from the original volumes. We are currently working in the obedience unit studying horses.
I would love to try the Konos in a Box – Orderliness. Thanks!

I looked at Konos when I was just starting the homeschool journey. My husband’s cousins learned through Konos growing up and it sounds fantastic. I love the idea of it all being laid out though because that was the reason I didn’t do it in the first place. Too much planning on my part. It would be great to have on hand!

Funny you should write this. I have looked at this repeatedly over the last few weeks but was a little confused about some things. You cleared it up! Thanks.

I can’t wait to dive in with you this year as we tackle our subjects! We are really excited. I would love to win the Obedience Box since that’s something we need to work on, hmmmm.

Attentiveness in a box! We have been amazed at KONOS so far, even though we have not begun yet! I have very hands-on learners and love the family aspect of KONOS!

We’d love to try KONOS. I’ve been researching it ahead of convention. We’ d be thrilled with any of them, but if I had to pick…obedience
Kathy says
Obedience! Hands down. What can I say…I think my daughters could use it. 😉

Your daughter who loves her ‘princess crown’ would have a blast with this! As girls, we loved the kings/queens unit from a girly perspective and my boys of course loved it for the knights and adventure aspects! And the obedience character building is AWESOME! {Although it is still a work in progress over here. We’re human after all.}
Kristin DeWees says
Obedience!!! Oh I would love to win the Obedience unit!

I just started using Konos about a month ago. I am encouraged when I read blog posts with people who have success with the curriculum. We are enjoying it ourselves here. I like the unit study approach- all topics and activities based on one character trait. I would love to win the Africa Konos study.
