Heather in VA Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 What have you used that has brought energy and fun to your homeschool, especially things that include something other than just history. Thanks Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Latin for Children. I agonized for weeks over which Latin program to chose. LFC was the right choice for us. :D LOF is another fun choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The art books What Make a X and X, like What Makes A Van Gogh A Van Gogh. The You Wouldn't Want To Be series. Atelier Art (the presentation is very bland, to me, but kiddo loves it and does nice art from the examples). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rootsnwings Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 My oldest loves the "You wouldn't want to be..." books too! :D He also loves K12's lit and enrichment exercises and he thinks Cambridge's latin program is super fun too! He loves all the online exercises & practice. :) Oh, and Aha! Science! His newest love! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Miquon's math labs have been a lot of fun. And Building Language... And Growing with Grammar (but we've used that for quite a while now)... And any science... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Galloping the Globe for sure, but unfortunately, it's too young for your older kids. This year, we will be doing SL Core 5 (which is a country study), so I'm hoping to add in some hands on crafts, cooking, travel videos and field trips that will make it into an "older" GTG. I'll be watching this thread, because it seems like there is less and less fun stuff available as the kids get older.

That's what I do to Sonlight, too. We made Incan quipu knots the other day to go along with Secret of the Andes. :D If I could take them to go see the Nazca Lines, I would.

NanceXToo Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Oak Meadow. Love this curriculum. Very hands on and creative, non-textbookish etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 These aren't curriculum, but they sure are a fun addition to what I use: Magic School Bus Kits School House Rock CD Parks to hike, play, and do nature studies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greta Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding is a really serious program in that my dd learns a lot from it, and it teaches concepts brilliantly, but it is also just plain fun.
