Easy & Focused Fun Activities to Start Your Year Off Right!

The start of a new homeschool year can bring on a whole slew of thoughts and emotions. For kids and parents!

Excitement over new curriculum and supplies. Anxiety about going up a level in lessons.

Dread if you're a teenager (or parent of a teenager). I'm kidding. Sorta 😉

And these thoughts and feelings can pop up whether you follow a more traditional schedule (from about August to June) or year-round homeschooling. Because advancing to new and different levels is change. And change isn't always easy.

Unfortunately, many homeschool families rush into the new year with gusto but little discussion over the upcoming year. And while all that energy and enthusiasm is wonderful, the amazing opportunity to talk about thoughts and feelings over starting Algebra or learning how to read is lost. The homeschool year may start off okay but later run into some snags because these things were overlooked.

Instead of bottling up those thoughts and feelings, enjoy these fun and focused activities with your kids! These conversation starters have prompts with back to homeschool/first day fun themes to get you chatting about the upcoming homeschool year and more.

You'll get insight into what's going on with your kids plus be able to share your own thoughts and feelings. Great way to model self-expression!

Fun Ideas for Using These Conversation Starters

I suggest that you print out these conversation starters with back to homeschool themes prior to your first day. There's nothing worse than running around trying and doing last minute tasks!

You can totally print these back to homeschool activities on regular white printer paper. You'll need a pair of scissors to cut out the cootie catcher. Also, if you choose to randomly use the paper strips, you may want to cut them out, fold, and place in a bag or jar.

Take your time with the conversation starters. Give your kids an opportunity to think through their responses. And I highly encourage you to participate. Your children will love to hear your answers.

Oh, and if you're working with older students, consider using these printables for writing prompts. These type of simple questions can be a great way to get back into writing.

Younger students can draw their responses. Some creative ways to help your kids express their thoughts and feelings about back to school time is to use a voice recording app or make a video. Both would be fun to listen to or watch at the end of the year.

Consider adding more fun and free activities to your back to homeschool time. Over the years, my boys and I have had a blast our first few days back at homeschooling (especially with our bingo game). We've made back to school handprint crafts and poetry activities. Our back to homeschool scavenger hunt has been so cool for adding some activity and getting familiar with new school supplies. I love to look back on their First Day of Homeschool worksheets, too!
