I never thought I would, but I absolutely love to homeschool my kids. Even more than that, I love to roadschool my kids. True, there are very frustrating moments (more than I’d care to admit) but mostly it has been the most amazing learning experience for all of us. I’ve had many people ask HOW…
We are not nearly the intense gaming family I once envisioned. Growing up holidays were spent with cousins playing game after game while munching on ridiculously yummy food. Sam grew up pouring concrete on holidays (or some other such work project) and thought holidays playing games were a trifle…boring. As a family, we’ve settled somewhere…
You might want to check out these: Castle Panic – a cooperative game where you all win or lose together, Family Fluxx – goes really fast, sort of requires reading, but the pictures are pretty easy to translate, Uno (although I worry about the cruelty factor on this one), and later Dixit. Stealing Zeus or just Zeus is another Gamewright that involves LOTS of addition and subtraction (but don’t tell my kids). I’m going to check out Tell Tale!ReplyCancel
Thanks Mark! I looked at the Story Cubes, but chose the Tall Tells instead since it was by the same people as Spot It. I’ve since seem that at a friend’s though and they do look fun! Definitely check out Robot Turtles. Rachel is 8 and is quickly getting to the upper limit – so it depends on how old your kids are.ReplyCancel
Back at the brick & mortar “Lehi House” I would take weekly trips to the library with the kids. We’d listen to story time, check out a handful of new books, maybe read one or two while we were there and be one our way. I’m pretty sure I didn’t look at those books until…
Months ago, I backed a KickStarter project called Robot Turtles, a board game designed to teach kids fundamental concepts of programming. I had been thinking about using programming as part of our home school curriculum, and this was a great place to start. We received Robot Turtles just before Christmas, and it was one of…
Now that we are officially on the road full time, I thought an update about our current homeschool activities was appropriate. If you recall, our beginning was a little rocky, but I feel like the kids have now gotten into a routine. Some days Andrew will wake up and be done with his workbooks before…
I love reading about all of your adventures! I just thought I’d throw it out there that if you ever want to stop by Cache Valley you are more than welcome to park at our place. We have plenty of room. I would also be more than happy to give a little agriculture lesson for the kids, we could visit the USU dairy and stuff like that. I know Wellsville isn’t very exotic but if you ever pass through, don’t hesitate to holler!
We haven’t gotten onto the road yet, but have been homeschooling for the past 4 years and love it for all the same reasons. I couldn’t see our life any other way. It is a joy to be with my kids while we all learn and grow. Next step is a trailer and then USA here we come!
