As I walked into Little Buddy's room this morning, I had my shirt on backward. He thought I had just "lost it," but really, it was all part of my fun day with mama plan. He asked me why my shirt was on backward and I announced, "because it is Backward Day, Buddy." Some of the fun things we have done today are:
- Wore our shirts backwards
- Ate our breakfast from the wrong side of the fork (that was a challenge, I admit!)
- Did all of our homeschool work under the dining room table. I had thrown a blanket over the table so that it was like a tent for our study of nomads. That made it all the more entertaining.
There is no telling what other crazy, hair-brained, homeschooling mama idea I may come up with for more backward day activities. If you have any that I can use, please share them. It sure does keep things interesting around here. On to art and music appreciation this afternoon. I have to admit, I can not quiet figure out how to work those in to my backward day festivities.
By the way, I think I'll leave the blanket over the dining room table for a while. We might just have lessons under there all week as we study the nomads.
There is a wonderful book entitled BACKWARDS DAY! Check it out at your local library. Also, how about eating breakfast for dinner?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the information on the book. I'll definitely have to check it out and "plan" for another backwards day soon! It was a hoot!
