I figured that with all my planning it would be good to come up with a few activities or projects that are not school centred but fun centred therfore giving the kids the idea that they are being given a day off, or afree day. They would be learning something anyway, but kids like a break from scholarly learning.
1. World license plates - a cool site to see all the different license plates in the world. Using Ontario plates guidelines they can create their own vanity plates to put on the wall.
2.Family newsletter - write about what they are learning, loving, hating, things they've seen and done etc.
3. Postcrossing.com - postcard program with people worldwide
4. X-Mas thumbprint ornament project with photo glued to one side.
5. Create a country
6. Artist appreciation- learn about an artist, view some of their work, recreate a piece your own way...add names and dates to abc book
7. Grow bulbs in water indoors, measure and chart their progress
8. Glow in the dark bowling at home- use plastic pop bottles filled with water, crack a glow stick and put one in each bottle and close tightly, trydifferent kinds of balls to find one strong enough to knock them down but not break open.
9. Treasure hunts- using pictures, words and riddles or clues
10. Bake cupcakes and decorate them to look like dirt and worms
11. Activities from 3 puzzle books
For now these 11 will do, but as ifind more i may add them here and on my pinterest page if it is an online tidbit.
