Active Minds: Projects to Keep Kids Learning has everything you need to use ideas that appeal to kids and turn them into creative, educational fun. Each project can occupy kids for days or even weeks! And each project enriches, energizes, and strengthens academic, communication, and thinking skills. Active Minds projects are designed for elementary-aged children, but with just a little tweaking can be used for preschoolers and middle schoolers.
The projects are perfect for families or for neighborhood groups. Homeschoolers love them, too, because they recognize the value of play. Powerful play will keep children occupied and exercise higher order thinking, comprehension, communication, creativity, inter-personal skills, and much more.
Active Minds includes instructions to take ten project ideas from entertaining to spectacular. Each section includes a comprehensive getting started guide, several reproducible guide sheets for kids to use, extension and modification ideas, and resources to keep on expanding the learning when the children want to dive even deeper into the subject. The ebook includes a link and password to download formatted PDF copies of the reproducible pages to make it easy to print out what you need to support the learning.
The Active Minds projects are exactly what your kids have been wanting to try, from holding their own Olympic Games to designing a treasure hunt or even creating a whole new world.
