More Ideas to Curb February’s Cabin Fever
Curb cabin fever by adding a bit more exercise. Tweens & teens often need a homeschool oriented exercise program they can do at home, and earn Phys. Ed. class credit. Staying healthy and active is always important and can often be hard in the winter months.
Another idea to help your 6th-12th graders stay active is to get out and explore nature. The winter months can be a beautiful time to take nature walks and slow down to really look at what happens in winter. Perk up a winter nature walk a boost with a Winter scripture-inspired photo scavenger hunt. Choose a topic and corresponding verse and then set out on a nature walk to take photos that capture the theme in a creative manner.
No matter how you choose to learn this month, enjoy every minute of spending time learning together and having fun.
