Hundreds Of Free Educational Resources Can Be Found Here
Sure, we take our job as parents and home educators seriously, but that doesn't mean we can't have daily homeschool fun. We hope our children will grow up to be kind, caring, and well educated adults. We want them to look back on their childhood fondly. We try to focus our activities on those that are both educational and entertaining.
Over the years I have gathered over 500 free resources. As my girls grew, so did the complexity of work. It's all here for you to enjoy. Here you will find homeschool fun in many forms - printable worksheets, on-line educational games, apparel, books, games and a few unexpected surprises, so let's get started . . .

Multi-Subject Educational Websites
These fun sites cover more than one educational area
Isn't it wonderful when you can find that one-stop site that meets most of your educational needs and captures the imagination of your children. When my girls were younger Enchanted Learning was generally our first stop. It answered most of our questions and met our with our learning style.
Despite so many different learning styles out there today, I am guessing that one of the sites here will meet your needs. Check it out for yourself, and if your favorite site isn't here, go ahead and add it to the list.

The Read-Aloud Handbook
My favorite resource
We use this book year after year. In the first half of the book Trelease tells us of the importance of reading to children well beyond the preschool days. He then uses a question and answer format to discuss topics like television, library funding and the Harry Potter phenomenon. While the first half of the book could almost be called a "must read" for parents, it is the back half that we refer to all the time. Jim Trelease calls it a "Treasury of Read-Alouds." It is along lists of suggested reads, with brief descriptions including age appropriateness and suggested additional/similar reads.History and Social Studies Resources

STARS - a new game by Sarah
Contributed by Homeschooler Sarah, age 9
Hi, my name is Sarah. One way I had fun homeschooling this week is by making a game called "Stars." I got the idea from a Roman game I saw in a history book. I decided to change the game a bit and that's how "Stars" came about. To play you need an eight by eight square board (a chess board will do). I made my own because it was fun and I made it colourful. You also need 32 playing pieces (16 of each colour) and 2 stars, one of each colour of the pieces. Sit on the opposite side of the board from the other player. Now place all of your pieces (not the stars), one per square on the two rows in front of you like in the photo.Each player can place his/her star on any empty square on the board. The youngest player goes first. Players take turns by moving one piece either forward, backwards or sideways (not diagonally) by one space. Your star moves the same way, but can also jump over any piece that is in its way. To get an opponent's piece off the board you have to sandwich it between two of your pieces. You must say "sandwich" and then remove the piece. Here are two examples:
To win the game, you have to get all of the other player's pieces off the board. It was really fun to make the game and I even beat mum!

Music and Performing Arts
I grew up in a home filled with music and it was wonderful. It stayed with my sister who is now a professional musician. Here are some of my favorite free resources to instill that same love of in music in your kids, while still having homeschool fun.

- My children attend public school, my hat is off to all who homeschool! It's hard enough for me to help my children with homework. You forget so much, it's embarrassing to not understand a math question for third grader. Great job on this lens! Blessed!
