Every year, I look back to see what my most viewed posts were. What did you like the best? This past year, many of my popular posts were fun learning activities for grade-schoolers. They were also some of the projects we had the most fun with.

Are you ready to count them down? You’ll love all of these posts!

10. Gratitude Conversation Starters –  I think a lot about gratitude in November and December and I want my kids to think about it too. I created these printable gratitude conversation starters to help us start talking about gratitude as a family. They’re perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas time.

9. Math Fact Islands – My oldest daughter refuses to practice math facts with flash cards at home. That’s okay… they’re really not that much fun! I’ve been trying very hard to make math fact practice fun at home, so I came up with Math Fact Islands. She can move and learn at the same time! It’s a versatile game about you can use it for addition, subtraction, or multiplication facts.

7. Project: Around the World – In the beginning of 2015, we started an ambitious project. We were going to create an art project inspired by every country in the world. We started alphabetically and slowly made our way through all the “A” countries. We took a break over the holidays and we’re ready to start back up again after the first of the year.

4. Library Scavenger Hunt – I know a lot of kids are like mine and don’t want to get out of their comfort zone when it comes to reading. I wanted to encourage my girls to read new genres, but I wanted to make it fun too so I came up with this Library Scavenger Hunt. I’ve got two versions, one for picture books and one for chapter books. You can get both printable scavenger hunts at the link below.

2. Driveway Hundred Chart – This is another entry in the “math doesn’t have to be boring” category.

It was so much fun! Check out this post for all the fun games you can play with a Driveway Hundred Chart.
