WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN?
Students generally retain information longer if it is accompanied by hands-on activities! If you are learning how to play the guitar - you need a guitar! If you want to learn how to edit a movie - you better get some editing software! Reading the manual will not suffice - you need to give it a try!
When you are teaching your kiddos something a little academic, what can you do to add some hands-on learning? The following is a list of general activities that can be adapted to any (or many) subjects:
* Write a Newspaper Article
* Watch a Movie
* Role-Playing
* Play Bingo to Learn Vocabulary Words
* Listen to Music from a Specific Era
* Build a Structure
* Create a Diorama
* Answer a Writing Prompt
* Create a Historical Journal
* Write a Poem
* Cook Some Food - From a Region or Time Period
* Make a Collage
* Use Pretzels, Crackers, M & Ms or Jelly Beans as Counters
* Conduct an Experiment
* Plant a Garden
* Tell a Joke
* Make a Costume
* Write a Book
* Draw a Picture
* Re-enact a Battle
* Create a Board Game
* Map Your Room or Town
* Go On a Scavenger Hunt
* Start a Collection
* Run a Race
