MI Mom Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Our homeschool group is thinking of starting a boys club. We need many ideas to make it successful. It would meet twice a month during the school year. Any and all ideas would be of great help. Thanks Audra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Use "The Dangerous Book for Boys" as a source for ideas/activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 How about lego projects? Legos are always a big hit with the boys around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougarmom4 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Lego Club would be my first suggestion--I know there are lots of Lego Robotics clubs around, but I'm not sure how expensive they are/how much you want to spend. But even if it was build a creation, bring it & tell about it; or have different challenges...build something that is x inches tall using as few legos as you can. I was looking recently on the Lego Education website and they have activity ideas on there of educational challenge type things. Science Experiments--a few years ago I taught an after-school activity at our charter school called ClubZoom. I don't think the TV show Zoom is on PBS anymore, but I got all of my information from the pbs.org website. We did things like film canister rockets, hovercrafts, marble runs, etc. It was a lot of fun! Another idea is to look at the Cub & Boy Scout manuals for ideas. Different sports...take a different one for a week or so and learn the rules, practice the skills. I hope you get some more ideas here! Have fun!

MI Mom Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 library. I like to boy scout book idea. I my kids are involved in scouts so we have some of these books. Legos are great if I can think of something to do with them. Most people have them so the cost would not be a problem. If anyone can think of anything else I would love to hear.
