Fridays are "fun school" days for my two youngest and myself. (they are 7 and 5, sometimes my 17 year old joins us) This is the day we go on a field trip, do a craft, play educational games, etc. I'm out of ideas at the moment. The weather should be cool and sunny.
Any suggestions?

I would love to agree with visiting the retirement home! I really wish we had more time and flexibility to do that. The residents love it! A lot of them don't get a lot of visitors.
Make a picnic lunch for afterward and you have the whole day taken care of!
Blessings

You could do a nature walk with a pinic and kite flying. This would give you the chance to teach science (names of trees and flowers etc.), nutrition (let them help you pick and pack a healthy lunch) and as a bonus the kite flying would give you a chance to introduce aerodynamics. The kids will have a great time and you can include education in a fun way.

My brother is 8 and he loves doing plays, so if they enjoy pretending, which I'm sure they do, you can find little skits on the internet or have them make one up or you can. You can even insert some educational type backround to it. I'm 16 and I enjoy doing things like that, but of course it always depends on the person. Doing it outside to get some fresh air is always good too. Just a suggestion, hope it helps.

My idea of a fun and educational day is a visit to a museum with a picnic lunch on the grounds.

What about making a garden, or a container garden? We started making garden boxes yesterday at the request of our sons. For the last two years they've been asking us to start a garden for them to grow things in, but the soil where we live is so hard I couldn't imagine how in the world we could plant anything in it. Then we found a book called "The New Square Foot Garden" by Mel Bartholomew which explains how to make garden boxes to grow things in. Yesterday we bought all the supplies to make two garden boxes, and let our sons pick out packets of seeds. They are so excited; they went to bed last night with visions of watermelons dancing in their heads.

Fly a kite, or paint outside. Play wiffle ball or croquet. Or even bubbles that is fun for all ages!!!

what about visiting a retirement home with some home baked goodies? you could sneak in a math lesson with the baking measurements and make some older folks happy?

Do you have a zoo?? That's what we're doing. We're going to focus on the reptile house this time.
