Favorite Summer Games Resources

The Olympic Summer Games are less than a month away! Are you ready? We are! And we are excited. Four years ago we began our homeschool year with a unit study around the Summer Olympics. We learned all about the history of the games, the city the games were held, sports in general, what it takes to become an Olympian and much, much more. And we plan to do it again. Another start to our homeschool year focused around watching the Olympic Games and learning with these favorite summer games resources…

Summer Games by Amanda Bennett

We have been blessed by many of Amanda Bennett’s studies. We especially love kicking off or celebrating an end to a homeschool year with these amazing studies. Unit Studies by Amanda Bennett offers such a wonderful variety of learning for your children. There is always a Biblical aspect and we have been able to use them with all of our ages. Our high schoolers, even though they have their own schedule, love to join in on any sort of learning with Amanda Bennett’s studies.

Olympic Books on Mantel

In the past we have kept journals, created family projects and completed lapbooks. Be sure to read more about the fun learning we shared:

An Olympic Start to the School Year – we loved starting our homeschool year this way!

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.
