Michelle My Bell Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I host a History Night every winter and I would like to add something to the fall schedule, but I am unsure what to do. History Night is a BIG event with costumes, display boards, food etc... I would like it to be a bit different and am looking for ideas. All my searching on the Internet hasn't found anything so I am asking for help in what do you do with your homeschool group? OR even what do you think would be a lot of fun for a special night? Thanks for any help you all can provide!!! Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Governess Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Author's Fair? Poetry recitation? Cultures of the World night with booths to visit from different countries? A boutique-type night where students could bring homemade items to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamato3 all-boy boys Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Our homeschool group closes out the year with a recitation for grades k on up. The kids do not use a microphone and must have their piece memorized. It is really great. And we finish with ice cream, which makes it even better. In the fall, we've done Math day, and kids are broken up into age ranges and they participate in 3 or so different activities -- tanagrams, cuisennaire rods, logic/reasoning. We each pay $2 and the coordinator buys a bunch of stuff from oriental trading company; then the older kids man registers and the younger children purchase items with play money from the "store." The kids LOVE this event. Finally, this year with did a field day. Silly games, crafts, and snack. Everyone said it was great. HTH, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6packofun Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 We love to find an interesting, obscure, historical, funny holiday and explore that person, place, event or thing to the extreme. LOL Here is a link to special days throughout the year...we have a book, too, that someone recommended here but I can't remember the title right now. http://homeschooling.about.com/od/fundaycalendars/Holiday_Calendar_Celebrate_Special_Days_Every_Month.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
