This morning for my sons "formal" school activity we typed four of his tricky words into the computer together - we picked the words together too so a mixture of ones he did know and ones he didn't. We then chose crazy fonts for each and sized them so that they used an entire sheet of A4 paper. I then strung them up over our swing as we had to shout out a word and try and hit it with a ball - it worked really well and was really good fun!
I then cut up a couple of extra versions as jigsaw puzzles that he had to reassemble...
This afternoon we're working on number patterns so I'll let you know how that goes.
My son is very resistant to doing anything to do with school so we're trying a new thing of aiming for two 30 minute "formal" school sessions a day. Today is the first day so fingers crossed it continues as well as it's started.
How is your home schooling going?
A list of fun family tested ideas and activities to keep our kids amused in all this chaos! If you click on the label on the right hand side it will take you to ideas associated with that theme....

Get Active
Joe Wickes Workouts!
- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ
Joe Wickes is offering a free 30 minute family workout every morning at
9am. They are also available to catch-up at any time. We tried – we
failed – but I know loads of people who are doing these!
Andy’s Wild Workouts –
BBC iPlayer – CBeebies
If the above is to hard/too long for your child I would really recommend these. They’re short and wildlife themed so even if they can’t do the moves they can pretend to be the animals. They won’t get adults sweating as much though (but that might be a good thing)!

The Jumping Bean Game
Put some songs on/music on and get your kids to jump about and pretend to be different beans as you call them out. So for example: Runner Beans = run on the spot; Broad Beans = make yourself as wide as possible; Baked beans = make yourself as small as possible; Jumping beans = jump on the spot; Beans on toast = lay on the floor; Jelly bean = wobble and shake…you get the idea. We also had loads of fun making up our own beans. (Credit to otplayfortoday on Instagram).
