How to Make Homeschooling Fun

One of the many benefits of homeschooling is the variety you can achieve when you're schooling just a few students, as opposed to a whole classroom. Here's how to use the benefits of homeschooling to make learning fun.

      Make every day an adventure. Education is everywhere. Don't try to fit everything in, but follow the day as it unfolds and experience the wonder of learning as opportunities present themselves to you and your child.

      Operate within your child's gifts. Understand where your child excels and utilize their abilities to help the learning process along. You only have one student to deal with, so there is no danger of excluding another child by catering to the talents of one.

      Change your surroundings. Another benefit to homeschooling is that your school can be anywhere, even outside on the swing set when you're having fun. This is a great place for those kinesthetic learners who need to be in motion for them to learn anything.

      Take a field trip to make learning fun. No bus is required for a single student, or permission slip to travel. The beauty of homeschooling is that you can drop everything and go where the lesson can become real to your student. If you're doing multiplication tables, for instance, go to your local produce department and ask your student to calculate the number of oranges in seven cases. Show him how important it is for the produce manager to know how many oranges are in stock for ordering purposes.

      Know that you don't have to do it all yourself. You don't have to be the only teacher. Enlist your spouse or other family members in assisting your student with those subjects you have difficulty teaching. Even though you homeschool, you're not a superhero. Put your cape away and ask for help to make homeschooling fun and adventurous for everyone.
