Night at the Museum Party

Posted by Cindy on February 19, 2009

The smaller of the two homeschool groups I’m a part of met this week for a Night at the Museum party.  What fun it was!

Each child was supposed to choose either an historical character from the movie or a character based on one of the time periods covered in the movie.  They were asked to dress like their character and bring some sort of food representing their era.  There was a place to display projects they completed about their character/time period and we gave them each a few minutes to share what they’d learned.

After lunch from the food brought and sharing of projects, all the kids nestled in to watch the movie.  What a great time!

Do you have any other ideas for academic themed parties like this?

        Hi Cindy,
        I love your event – this is great! My girfriend planned a Prairie Party for a group of families and it went off wonderfully. We’ll never forget it. I posted it here if you’d like to see:

          What a creative idea! We have been talking about this movie as my homeschool group bats around the idea of a NYC day trip to the museum… this would be a great follow up project!!

            Thought of another. Around the world in 80 days-do a poster board of the country, bring a food, etc

              Cindy,

              Your feed is not coming through for me properly. Every now and then I get an entry. Or sometimes I get a whole bunch. But you’re posting regularly, and I’m not seeing regular posts via Bloglines.

              I saw you were featured on Crafty Crow! Horray! And that made me remember to come find out why I never see anything from you anymore.
              Any ideas as to what I can do to get your feed?

                What a great idea!!

                What about Treasure Island-dress up like pirates and form teams and go on a Treasure hunt?

                Swiss FAmily Robinson-give each “family” sticks and things to make their own miniature tree fort.

                If I think of more, I’ll let you know!

                  Love that idea! I can’t wait to share it with my homeschool group.
