Fun Activities For Kids At Home

Here are some creative and fun learning activities links from my blog for your children to enjoy at home as we move into unprecedented changes in our lives with self-isolation and lockdowns due to the global covid-19 outbreak.

May I offer a few practical suggestions with these at-home activities?

Look for items that your children would enjoy.
Plan for 1 activity per day.
Keep things informal. Don’t try to do school at home!
Take your time.
Don’t rush through a list.
If something sparks joy and delight — stay there and look for other similar activities rather than moving on to the next thing on your list.
Repeat. Especially young children love to repeat an enjoyable activity. Don’t be afraid to print things out and do it again if your child loved it.
Photograph and video them doing their activities.
Display their finished work each week on a door or shelf “gallery”.
Share their activities with grandparents and social groups to stay connected.

So here we go ~

Paper dolls and paper men from different historical eras to colour in and cut out. Use these as puppets for narrations.
Narrations are the child “telling back” what he heard in a read-aloud. Narrations are the cornerstone of a Charlotte Mason education. Children must pay close attention while they listen to the story so that they can make it their own and express what they remember and understood as they narrate. I have collected over 100 narration ideas for every learning style. In this Ebook, you will find lists of suggested activities for audio, visual, kinesthetic and creative learners along with templates and printouts. You can see examples of the templates and ideas in the original post.
Letterboxing – a great “treasure hunting” geography game to practice in your house and garden. Letterboxing is an intriguing mix of treasure hunting, art, navigation, and exploring skills.
