Fun - How do you make your "school-day" fun for your kids?

[Claudia Blanton]

Hi Everyone!
As we all know, enjoying the bliss of every now is important in activating LOA.
What do you do to deliberately bring lots of fun during your regular school time, bringing "regular" learning together with this LOA principle?

Here are two ways I try to get my kids focused on the moment, and have fun doing it.
Reading lots of funny jokes as our reading assignments.
Watching funny but educational shows such as "Dirty Jobs" or "Andrew Zimmern", and then discuss what we have seen, while getting slightly grossed out and laughing about it.

I am sure, you implement lots of activities in your daily home-school life. Please share some of your activities with the group, especially if they are involving some principle of LOA, such as focusing on the now, gratitude and appreciation, goal-setting, or any other.

Peace

Claudia

We giggle at everything... if something is bothering the boys they turn it into something funny... for example, when their dad rears his head and starts hurting them again... they visualise him in a blonde shirley Temple wig and a pink tutu, roller blading badly along the promenade... as he'is bald, overweight, has very short legs and is incredibly vain... this image is enough to crease them up...

We also use funny images, like the memory tricks for shopping lists... and we make up silly rhymes about everything... If one of us gets down, or negative about anything, the other two do something silly to make us laugh, or we start saying positive affirmations, meditate or do a balance procedure...

if all else fails we turn to music... we sing and we dance our heads off in the craziest of styles... we may look silly if anyone sees us, but we feel great afterwards.. lol

Its easy for us to have fun with learning as we take an autonomous approach so there's no structure.... every minute is learning time and every minute is fun time... they are one and the same....
