Indeed, history is largely lost on kids. You need to see some real world events play out before you can care about history.
I also think, if you're going to teach history to children, it should be taught in reverse chronology. Basically here's what's happening now, and that's due to what happened last year, which is due to what happened last decade, etc. Work your way back to the Greeks and Babylonians. Like James Burke's Connections.
