I have a mind-blowing insight for you. African tribes have figured this out. The way they teach history is by re-enacting events from myth and history. Those "silly" and noisy dances make a lot of sense.
As Confucius said,
I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember.
I do and I understand.
Participation in a tribal ceremony has the potential to teach history best - with highest chance of remembering.
