Play-based learning in your homeschool: It’s more than just board games — from raisinglifelonglearners.com by Colleen Kessler
Excerpts:
Play-based learning doesn’t have to fit in a box! There are many wonderful resources in the homeschool community to help you discover what works best for your family.
In addition to the various suggestions I have included in today’s episode of the podcast, you’ll find excellent recommendations from these sites, dedicated to creating out of the box approaches to learning:
- Jessica, The Waldock Way
- Cait, My Little Poppies
- Heather, Blog She Wrote
- Mary Wilson, Our Homeschool Life
In a nutshell, this means that kids learn best when they’re mentally active, engaged socially, and when they can make connections to their lives.
