With schools closing, home schooling your children may feel like a daunting prospect.
I created a daily routine that helps my children know what to expect; offering them a sense of consistency and security, check it out.
As for activities, we have 60 written on your chalk board.
We are using a child-led method which allows them the opportunity to choose the activities they wish to carry out during the day.
The children are also offered options for how they wish to complete their homework. This helps improve their engagement and lets them feel valued.
Here’s a list of the activities, with a few bonus ones just for good measure.
