Favorite Summer Games Resources

The Summer Games are back! Are you ready? We are! And we are excited. Eight years ago we began our homeschool year with a unit study around the Summer Games. Then we did it again four years later. 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 The Games and learning with these favorite summer games resources.

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.
