As I read through the first few chapters I thought, "This sound a lot like what we did!" Many of the games, activities and science project were a part of our home school days. But there is sooo much more! Yes, I am using a lot of exclamation points, but I was really! excited! about this book! Ok, enough of that.
Let me tell you a little of why.Because it IS the essential guide. If I had had this years ago, any time my kids would have said they were bored, I would have pulled this out and found something that would have interested them. From the Ninja games and exploding things for my more aggressive children, to lists of books for my readers, to quiet games, to science experiments, to encouraging studies of art and architecture, there is a wealth of information to enrich your and your children's lives.
Want to learn some circus tricks? How about making backyard forts or shelters? Would you like to know the secret history of condiments? You can find out in this book. Have I captured your interest yet? Well maybe you want to be a writer. You can read an interview, learn how to keep a journal and do a writing exercise. Or maybe you want to learn about mapping and navigation. Then you could make an orienteering course and have your friends try it out. The possibilities are endless!Even though my kids are grown and I am done homeschooling, there are still ideas and activities in Unbored that we can use, like planning a Staycation or learn about Cryptozoology. Watch some of the "Best Ever Car-free Movies". I encourage you to get a copy of this book, from your local brick and mortar, of course. You will never be bored again!
