Hands Up Latin

Hands Up Latin offers a story-based Latin curriculum for primary-aged learners, weaving simple Latin vocabulary and phrases into tales with recurring characters and playful illustrations. Lessons introduce language in context first, then layer on grammar and translation activities so kids don’t feel like they’re memorizing isolated charts. Developed by Hands Up Education to make classical languages more approachable, it’s especially friendly for parents who are new to Latin. Families value that the materials are affordable, reusable across siblings, and align with a gentle, literature-rich approach. It doesn’t cover as much grammar as heavy upper-level programs, but as a joyful start to Latin, it’s excellent.
