Here are some exciting and creative ideas from Utah homeschool moms for "Back to School" activities this year:
Ingrid shared the idea of decorating the front door with colorful balloons and building furniture teepees or caves throughout the house, each focusing on a different subject and decorated uniquely with a related food or treat.
Katy plans to measure her children's height and weight, meet her husband for lunch or have a tea party, and make bookmarks for their literature-heavy curriculum.
Janiel starts school in late July and celebrates when public schools go back by bowling, swimming, hiking, and making homemade taffy.
Katrina enjoys a "Not Back to School" field trip or gathering with friends, often having a lake day at Jordanelle with other homeschoolers.
Jennifer is planning first-day pictures, a special breakfast, and an "All About Me" booklet.
Natalie goes all out for a back-to-school breakfast, takes first-day-of-school pictures, fills out an "All About Me" page, and is adding a School Supply Scavenger Hunt this year.
Many areas have a "Not Back to School Party," such as in Salem and Hurricane, where the whole community of homeschoolers is invited to swim and play at local reservoirs. (See our "What's Happening Wednesdays" Insta Posts for details on these events!)
These creative ideas from fellow homeschool moms can inspire your own "Back to School" traditions, making the beginning of the school year a joyful and memorable time for your family.
