365 Days Hands-On Homeschool Activities
Today, I am over the top excited to share a resource that I have been working on for a while and it is 365 days of hands-on homeschool activities, one for every day of the year. Hands-on learning not only makes learning come alive, but it makes it stick. It took me a long time to learn that because it is hard to unlearn that worksheets are the way to teach when that is the only thing I was exposed to.
On top of that, my personality fights against me all the time meaning I am the type that would rather not have the mess or at least I thought so. But, there is another part of my personality, which I hope you can relate to and that is I want my time to count when it comes to teaching.
If you don’t want to teach the same concepts over and over, hands-on learning, hands down (pun intended, corny I know) is the only way to go.
Hands-on learning is not only fun, but engages the mind, fosters family togetherness and the best part, kids learn and remember for years. Not one worksheet ever has Mr. Senior 2013 said he remembered, but all the time consuming projects we did is what he recalls.
So today, enjoy this huge list of activities and come back here when you need a hands-on activity to teach for your lesson.
I have gathered up many hands-on lesson from top notch bloggers and educators and they are divided by subject instead of age because I feel hands-on learning activities are subjective and should fit your needs.
