As the birds chirp and flowers bloom, it’s that time again – spring fever season! When kids want to be active, don’t feel like you either have to fight their energies or give up learning for the day.

Do you find your little scholars daydreaming about frolicking outdoors instead of focusing on their studies? We’ve got you covered! Here are three delightful remedies to help cure those springtime distractions and keep learning going at the same time.

Try incorporating these three tips into your homeschool planning to keep learning right up into summer and even beyond if you want to.

1. Embrace Active Learning

Studies show that kids learn better when they are active. Homeschooling isn’t about making everyone sit bold-upright in a desk, anyway. Embrace ways to make learning kinesthetic.

2. Plan a Field Trip

Homeschooling doesn’t have to be at home 100% of the time. Plan a field trip and mix things up a little. Be sure to make a plan and ensure that it engages your kids’ different interests and ages.

3. Add Some Music to Your Day

Music can lift or dampen the mood of any homeschooling environment. Music also enlivens both sides of the brain – creativity and logic – at once! Find ways to incorporate a learning-inducing playlist or music studies into your day to encourage your students to stay on track and use their energy in positive ways.
