We have found an amazing homeschool group in our area that does field trips at least 1-2 times a month and weekly play dates. Thanks to our group we’ve gone to the zoo, Sea Center Texas and strawberry picking so far. I am even scheduling a new field trip to the local equestrian center so all the kiddos can learn first hand how a barn operates and the care that goes into having horses.
If you’re in a homeschool group, a good way to save money is buddy up with people who have memberships to where y’all are going. When we went to the zoo another mom got us in for free with her membership. Field trips don’t just have to be going to a place to learn about what they do. Homeschooling on the road can a mini field trip itself. Finishing up our first week of homeschooling this year we were actually at the beach. After completing school for the day our daughter got to go down to the shore for fishing, ocean views and sand castle building.
Some fun field trip ideas are:
- Zoo
- Beach
- Recycling center
- Post office
- Dairy farm
- Chicken hatchery
- Crocodile encounter
- Fire department
- Equestrian center
