Homeschool Burnout? 8 Fun and Educational Activities to Give Your Kids a Break from Homeschooling!

RELAX! TAKE A BREAK.. but learn while you do!

Looking for a change of pace in your homeschool day?

1. Go for a walk or hike in nature. This can help kids get some fresh air and exercise while also providing a change of scenery.

   
   

2. Do a craft or art project. This could be something simple like coloring or painting, or something more involved like knitting or woodworking.

   
   

3. Play a board game or card game. This can help kids practice their problem-solving and strategic thinking skills while also having fun.

   
   

4. Cook or bake together. This is a great opportunity to teach kids about nutrition and the importance of eating healthy foods.

   
   

5. Have a movie or game night. This can be a fun way for kids to relax and unwind after a long day of schoolwork.

   
   

6. Play a sport or go to a park. This is a great way for kids to get some physical activity and have fun at the same time.

   
   

7. Read a book or listen to an audiobook. This can help kids improve their reading skills and expand their knowledge of the world around them.

   
   

8. Write in a journal or start a creative writing project. This can help kids express their thoughts and feelings, and can also be a great way to improve their writing skills.

College Textbook Rental Brings Smiles to Children

When you see the little ones with the crooked smiles, don't they just touch your heart?  What I mean by crooked smiles is cleft lip smiles.  Operation Smile provides surgeries for children whose families can't afford it and  is supported by Campus Book Rentals.

You, too, can make a difference by renting your textbook from Campus Book Rentals!

Campus Book Rentals will donate a portion of their proceeds to Operation Smile with the hopes of providing at least 1000 smile surgeries this year.

Renting textbooks saves families money!  Check out the price difference on this Algebra book:  Algebra  Purchasing the book will cost $91.96 and renting it will only cost $26.13!

I am excited to hear about this.  It brings a little relief to the thought of the college expenses for us in the very near future.

This is how it works:

Other perks:

• 30 day worry free guarantee
• Book Rental Scholarships  
• Monthly giveaways
• Refer a friend benefits
• Great customer service

As a homeschool mom, this is important to me.  Not only do our kids need the right books, but in getting them, we can help others which is part of what we teach in our homeschool; having a generous spirit of giving.  My boys aren't in college yet but are well on their way, and I am happy to partner with Campus Book Rentals in getting the word out about the benefits of renting books and Operation Smile!

BENEFITS of MEMBERSHIP in HLA

As a member of Homeschool Legal Advantage, you are given the telephone number of an attorney who is available to answer any legal question related to homeschool issues.

Homeschool Legal Advantage members receive all homeschool related legal representation free of charge. HLA pays for all attorney fees, expert witness costs, travel expenses, and court costs allowable by law.
In addition, HLA members receive free legal representation from the Christian Law Association for religious liberty issues even if the cause of action is not related to homeschooling. This includes matters such as workplace discrimination, Christian employer obligations, the right to witness, public prayer, and any other matter related to Christians in matters of faith.

Most legal matters related to homeschooling and Christian liberty are resolved quickly without court action.
