Creative Learning Activities

I love adding board games into our homeschool lesson plans. They're a fun and simple way to teach key concepts and review facts. One of my favorite places to use board games in middle school is in history. There are a lot of names, dates, and facts that kids need to learn and games are a fun way to teach this information. I've shared two of my favorite games for hands-on history - is yours one of them? #historyisfun #middleschool #tweens #teens #educationpossible #homeschooling #handsonhistory

My teen struggles with writing. Not just “writers block” or trouble figuring what to write about. He has a hard time with the physical act of writing and getting his thoughts on paper. My son has dysgraphia, a learning disability that affects writing. But middle and high school require a lot of writing, so I've had to get creative to help him. Here is what I've been doing to teach my teen with dysgraphia writing. #dysgraphia #educationpossible #homeschooling #teens #specialneeds

As adults, we’re very familiar with the personal growth/personal improvement genre, but we don’t always think about it for our kids. But they’re trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in too. It’s important that we constantly inspire and encourage our middle school kids during their journey.
