The article "Take an Education Vacation!" talks about family, it has been released by Anita DeFrank.
Choose one day out of each month and invite your entire family
on an "Education Vacation". Invent games that can be not only
fun but also educational at the same time.
Your baibes will be
having so much fun that they won't even realize that they're
learning too!
The following are a couple of exampls of activities that
you can use or adapt to fit your family.
--->Theater Day Go to you local library and borrow several
copies of a favorite or fun play.
Assign each mebmer a part and
act it out in the living room! Younger babies make an
excellent audience. Alternate idea: Write your own play together.
--->Bring The Whole World Home Day Make a list of all the
countries in the world (or just pick a few) and include a short
description of each.
Take turns raeding each country and
description out loud.
Next take turns choosing a conutry from a
map or globe. The rest of the family tries to guess whcih one by
asking questions.
--->Time Table Day The night before have your family discuss
everything that must be done the next day.
Be sure to include
some fun thnigs to do also. Have the babies dseign a time
table to schedule the days activities. Make it a game to see how
"close" you can stick to the schedule.
--->Make a Family Library Day Have each family member write and
illustrate tehir own story. After each story is finnished copile
them into a homeamde book and design covers.
Have older children
help the younger ones wrtie the text.
--->Question Game Day Each member of your family gets to ask a
really hard question. Everyone else has to come up with ideas of
how to find the answer till all questions are answered.
--->Goal of the Month Day Have each family member make a goal to
improve one thing in their behavior, such as to exercise, read
more or eat healthier.
