Fun for Homeschoolers Away From Home If you go on a lot of road trips like we do, if you’re always running errands around town, or even if you only take a vacation once per year, you will love this book! Taking it on the Road by Lynda Coats is a must-have resource for any family that spends a lot of time in the car, not just for homeschoolers. Taking it on the Road is a 25-page guide to making travel educational and fun no matter whether it’s a cross-country journey or a quick trip to grandma’s house. It will also come in handy whenever you’re stuck in a traffic jam on the freeway. The downloadable e-book format is ideal because you can print one e-book to keep in the car and another for the RV or other vehicle. Then when a copy falls apart from overuse or gets lost on the road somewhere, you can simply print out a new one. Taking it on the Road is packed with great things to do! I have always considered myself an expert at having plenty of tricks up my sleeve to keep the kids happily occupied while driving for long distances, but this guidebook contains some excellent suggestions that I hadn’t even thought of before. Actually, the book is more like a curriculum supplement than a collection of travel games and activities. For example, you can study geography or roadside history or turn a stop at the gas pump into a math lesson. Children will exercise logic, practice valuable thinking skills, and even review information learned from other lessons. Taking it on the Road contains a wide range of activities listed by subject area for all ages and levels, as well as many interactive ones that can be pursued by the while family together. Most of these activities can be done over and over again with different results, based on location or other factors. Each activity in this book consists of a one paragraph description with recommended age level in parentheses. Most require no supplies except paper and pencil. Activities that do have special requirements are noted by an asterisk with the needed items listed in bold type. The first part of Taking it on the Road explains how to use this book. The second section contains many activities listed by subject. The third section consists of additional activities specifically related to alternate modes of travel – trains, boats, and planes. Chapters and topics include:
Bible and Character Training
History, Geography, and Social Studies
Language Arts
Arithmetic and Higher Math
Science
Trains, and Boats, and Planes All of the above topics are addressed in the most interesting and creative ways. Get this book and you will find yourself saying “Why didn’t I think of that?” Taking it on the Road will make you want to go for a drive just so you can do some of these activities! It's available as an instantly downloadable e-book for a special introductory price of only $7.95 at www.lyndacoats.com. Lynda Coats, the author of Taking it on the Road, also wrote Far Above Rubies and Blessed is the Man. In addition, she has recently finished a historical fiction trilogy, Life with the Pony Express, as well as a new immersion phonics program, All the Letters, All Year Long.
