mamapjama Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm trying to compile a list of easy, fun activities that we can do during the week. Unfortunately I bookmark many and then forget about them. So I'm thinking this year we will try Muffin Tin Mondays and Think activities seem to be posted between Thursday and Saturday. I also bookmarked another one that someone posted here - can someone remind me - daily outdoor challenge or something like that. Any other activities like these that you participate in on a weekly basis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionfamily1999 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 :bigear: I've been trying to find one of those calendars that has a holiday every day. You know, all those obscure ones (Smore's day for example). Same reasoning, but I'm way lazier, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I remember reading the nature challenge thread awhile ago. It sounded like great idea. In the past we have done stuffed animal day, PJ day, backwards day, donut day and a read-in. We do all our science experiments on Friday which make for a fun day. I like the muffin tin Tues. We do something similar with make your own pizzas. Instead of celebrating the 100th day of school we celebrate the 100th lesson. When my kids finish the 100th lesson in each subject they get to pick a prize out of a prize bin. Though I know they are not popluar on this board, we also have reading contests for fun reading. BJU reading comes with contest suggestions so we do them a couple of times throughout the year for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingersmom Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 We celebrate the birthdays of people we are studying. Last year we had a lovely cake and party for Dr. Seuss birthday plus we celebrated several (dead) presidents birthdays. We have pajama day. We try to have cooking class at least once a month. Last year we mainly did school 4 days a week and spent day 5 going to museums, theatre, aquariums, zoos, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineinKS Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 We're doing a "Fine Art Friday" this year. It will consist of a Nature Walk & sketching in our nature journals, Shakespeare study, Music/Composer Study, Picture Study (Art Appreciation) and some type of hands-on crafty project and/or fun educational games in the afternoon. KWG - I love your "Tuesday Tea" idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
