Children will absorb lots of information during the school day, but school isn’t the only place children can learn. Parents can incorporate fun learning tactics to develop more engaging academic studies to teach their children at home.

Try a Fun Science Experiment

Whether your child loves science or not, experiments are often the most fun part of class. What if you tried an experiment at home?

Trying a quick and easy science experiment that goes along with your child’s current curriculum is a great way to build excitement about school. This works for children of all ages. Your experiment can be as simple as watching mold grow on food over time or as complicated as mixing chemicals to create a reaction. Whichever experiment you try, it will grow your child’s interest in the subject.

Watch a Historical Documentary

Consider your children’s history class, then find an age appropriate documentary that will enhance their knowledge about the subject. It can be challenging to visualize events that happened long ago. Watching a documentary is a fun way to get your kids excited about learning.

Write in a Journal

Writing essays in English classes can sometimes be a bore for students, but journalling makes writing much more fun because every subject is personal! Find a decorated journal that suits your child’s interests. This journal is meant for drawing, sketching, and writing down personal thoughts. When young children are assigned short essays, they can struggle to decide what to write.

As a parent, you can guide your children to write about topics of their interests. Whether they enjoy animals, sports, or movies, bringing a fun and relatable writing element into the journaling process will help your children grow their writing skills.

Learn a New Language

Starting to learn a new language from a young age is the perfect way for the language to stick in your child’s mind. If your kid is interested in learning a new language, you can start by playing music in that language. Over time, children will learn the words and understand the meaning of the songs. You could also try playing their favorite shows in a different language. Since your child already understands the words in English, this will help them translate the show into a different language.There are also many online resources that can assist you on this journey to teaching your child words and phrases in a new language.

Always remember to incorporate topics that coincide with the school’s curriculum and your child’s grade level. If you have multiple children at different ages, that’s okay! Trying these engaging academic studies to teach your children at home will enhance their learning skills and excitement for school.
