Today, I’m sharing summer homeschool ideas to keep the learning spark burning. Also, grab more ideas on my pages The Dynamics of How to Homeschool Easily and Smarter and Free Summer Unit Study.

Even if you school year-round, most of us need a change during summer.

Whether you’re looking to add a few hands-on ideas, a summer unit study or a fun workbook, you’ll love these ideas.

25 Summer Homeschool Ideas To Keep The Learning Spark Alive

Also, summertime is a time to focus on those subjects like art, music, and maybe even science, which we would love to do more of.

Summer Homeschool Ideas

As I mentioned summer can be a mix of fun and learning.

Look at some of these classes we love to do during summer.

  • It’s a great time to start learning music at home. Look at these self-paced Learn Music in our Homeschool courses. From 15 minutes lessons to 20th century music, there is something for all ages.
  • And language arts doesn’t have to be boring or if you’re like me and have an independent learner, these online self-paced courses from Literary Adventures for Kids have so many fun books to choose from.
  • Then if you’re looking for your kids to take formal but fun cooking lessons, do Kids Cook Real Food.

Then I’m not above a few fun workbooks especially when it’s hot outside.

  • But a summer workbook where all subjects are included allows opportunity for review and easy days.
