A Map-Themed Family Movie Night
I learned early on in my homeschooling career that Family Movie Night can be educational!
Lately, our family has been a bit map-obsessed. When my children are passionate about a topic, I like to create opportunities for learning and so I put together a map skills unit study. It provided countless opportunities for reading, writing, storytelling, and conversation.
I love to end our unit studies with a movie or documentary that fits the unit study theme. Family movie nights can be educational and fun… and you’re making precious memories, too!
Today, I’m going to share some ideas for a map-themed family movie night.
