Father’s Day is just around the corner! If you’re a homeschooling family, this is a wonderful opportunity to integrate fun, heartfelt activities into your learning routine while helping your kids show appreciation for their dads. Whether you’re planning a surprise or working on a project together, here are three simple suggestions you can guide your kids through to make this Father’s Day memorable.
🗣 Suggestion 1: Ask Dad!
Sometimes the best way to make someone feel special is simply to ask. Encourage your kids to talk to Dad and ask what he’d enjoy doing on his special day. Does he want to relax at home? Go for a hike? Watch a movie together? Letting Dad choose how to celebrate is not only thoughtful—it teaches kids to listen and consider others’ preferences. Most importantly, help your children focus on making Dad feel celebrated, whatever the plan ends up being.
✂️ Suggestion 2: Make Something Together
Hands-on projects are a great way to learn and show love at the same time! Dads often appreciate gifts that are made with care. Here are a few project ideas you can do in your homeschool:
- Build a birdhouse or simple woodworking craft
- Fix a chair or small item around the house together
- Create a handmade card or frame (we even have a [step-by-step photo frame craft you can use!])
- Draw a portrait of Dad or write a poem about him
If your kids need some inspiration, use your craft time this week to work on a gift together. It blends creativity, fine motor skills, and gratitude—all in one.
💬 Suggestion 3: Say Thank You
Father’s Day is a great time to reflect on all that dads do. Encourage your kids to write a short thank-you note or letter. Talk about the different ways dads show up—some go to work, some stay home, some do both! The important thing is to help your children recognize Dad’s role in their lives and express appreciation with their words.
Simple prompts can help:
- “I’m thankful that you…”
- “I love when we…”
- “Thank you for…”
You could even help them record a short video message or perform a short skit.
🏡 Homeschool Bonus
As homeschoolers, you have the flexibility to weave real-life celebrations into your curriculum. Whether it’s through writing practice, art, life skills, or character development, Father’s Day is a meaningful opportunity to teach love, respect, and creativity.
