Here are a few that you can start thinking about:
1. A day in the life of a homeschool family.
There are some pretty active families out there, I’ve seen some on YouTube. This would be a great idea since as soon as you make it, it becomes a great memory of that year.
2. A homeschool yearbook.
No not just photos of the few kids, but of all their projects, reports, drawings, activities, group shots, etc. etc.
3. Homeschooling: How we did and how you can do it too!
Perhaps a photo book with text about how “easy” it is to homeschool your kids! You could become famous. Print a few and sell them!
4. Science projects.
Show the animals, plants, rocks and nature around your home. Use it for the next child when they get to that area of study.
5. Art Projects.
All those great drawings that you can’t throw out…just find a scanner and scan them into the computer. Or you could have each child hold the project and take a photo of it. Remember, if it’s a photo, you can make a photo book out of it.
6. Trips.
Gettysburg. Hiking. Mt. Vernon. Lots of times homeschoolers go traveling to many different places to learn new and cool stuff. This is a great opportunity to take photos and then remember that time in years to come.
7. Collaboration with other HomeSchool groups.
A lot of times homeschoolers get together and collaborate. These are great times where friends are made and learning happens.
8. Accomplishments.
Perhaps there is a piano award. Perhaps a Kung Fu trophy. Perhaps a “best Pie” award at the local state fair. All great subjects for a photo book.
9. Family history.
Many times there is great family pride in homeschoolers. What better way to show that than to create a photo book about those relatives. Great lessons involved too!
10. Own stories.
Take a rainy afternoon and act out a story. Write down the text and pose for the different shots. Get the whole family involved. Mom talking to the daughter. Dad talking to the son. Make it a good story with a nice ending.
11. Holiday events.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanakuah or whatever, most of the time everyone is taking photos right? This is a great opportunity to remember that eventful holiday season with performances and concerts and good family time.
Any other good ideas? Do you homeschool? Have you ever made a photobook for your family?
