#1 Change of Location

It is easy for us as a homeschool family to pack up our books and take our school on the road. Sometimes just doing school in a new location like the library, grandparent's home or a coffee shop is all we need to feel like we took a break. Even though the kids are still doing their lessons, a change of venue can be just the thing they need to shake things up. 

#2 Arts & Crafts

Spring is an inspiring season reminding us of new life, new colors and the end to a long winter. Harness this spring energy and get out your craft supplies! Let the kids take a day off from their regular lessons to have an all day arts and crafts day. Need some projects to inspire you? Check out these great ideas.

#3 Fun School Tools

Surprise your kids by starting off your homeschool day with a word search! Educational and fun your homeschool child(ren) of any age will love finding the hidden words while you read aloud to them. Education.com* has graciously provided a FREE Spring Word Search worksheet for me to share with you!  

The flowers are blooming with this spring word search. Education.com is full of learning activities and games for every age group! 

My son, who is a beginning reader LOVES word searches. Word searches are a great tool to help a new or beginning readers learn how to sound out words. As he is circling letters he is sounding out the words.

#4 Field Trips

Kids of all ages love going on field trips! Get creative and find some interesting places to visit. Maybe a local coffee shop would be willing to show you how to make fancy coffee drinks or how about a local radio station tour. Exposing your kids to "real world" places beyond a museum can inspire them in the long run to think about what they want to do when they grow up. Think of this as future career field trips. 

#5 Plan A Garden

Taking a day or two to let your children plan out a garden whether it is a raised bed garden, potted container garden or a large plot of space is a great way to take a break from your regular school schedule. 

There are so many educational activities that can be incorporated into planning a garden. Learning about seeds and how things grow is science. Measuring spacing and learning how long it takes for a seed to grow is all about math. Writing out the plan for a family garden can be a great writing exercise too.
