Summer break is a wonderful time for homeschool families to slow down a little, travel, spend time outdoors, and take a break from formal lessons. At the same time, many of us still want to keep our children thinking, creating, exploring, and learning in fun low-pressure ways.
That is why we created this free Interactive Summer Learning Calendar for elementary through high school students. Inside, you’ll find a wide variety of educational activities including science experiments, geography games, coding challenges, virtual field trips, art activities, logic puzzles, and hands-on projects. Most activities are quick, free, and designed to work well for mixed-age homeschool families.
You can use this calendar of summer learning activities in whatever way works best for your family. Some families may choose to do one activity each day, while others may pick a few favorites each week. Older students can work independently, while younger children may enjoy doing activities together as a family. The calendar is designed to be flexible, low-stress, and easy to fit around summer camps, vacations, pool days, and relaxed schedules.
Many of the digital resources included here are the same types of interactive tools we use in the web-based unit studies at FundaFunda Academy. We believe learning is often far more memorable when students actively explore and interact with content instead of simply reading about it.
If you enjoy these kinds of activities, you may also want to listen to the Homeschooling with Technology podcast, where we regularly share practical technology tools, websites, apps, and ideas homeschool families can use to make learning more engaging.
And thank you to Critikid, KristinMoonScience, Music in Your Homeschool, Peanutbutterfish Lessons, Literary Adventures for Kids and Think Curio for supplying ideas that were included.
Just click the Download button to grab the summer learning activities calendar, which includes interactive links to the resources. No sign-up to a newsletter required – it’s just a simple download.
We hope this calendar helps your family add a little curiosity, creativity, and discovery to the summer months.
