Who's Your Daddy and Zombie Pants - My Version of Homeschool Tests

I don't "do tests."

I know that one day it will be beneficial and necessary for my children to experience a test environment... but the joy of homeschool is that I can say "not yet."

The only kind of test going on in our home is who will actually make their bed and clear their plate after dinner.

And everything else?

Well, we try to make it as fun as possible.  With colorful board games, fishing poles, and a stack of random recent curriculum questions - we make sure to cover all of the necessary bases.

Introducing "Who's Your Daddy"

Colton almost wet his pants when I introduced this board game to him.  Seriously, Darth Vadar and Yoda?
I am one cool homeschool mom... ha ha.

Goal of the game:  Two teams compete (Vadar vs. Yoda) to reach the end of their lightsaber first.  Roll the dice, answer a question correctly, and move forward.

Questions consist of science material, language arts, grammar, and spelling.


And with Conner's recent Zombie obsession, there was no doubt about the need of a zombie game.  Insert the game Smarty Pants gone Zombie.

Goal of the game:  Roll two dice and be the first to add or subtract their sums to move forward.  Speed is everything. "Eat Brain move forward 2" cards reinforce fact families, multiplication, numerator/denominator, and basic geometry.


Our "version" of homeschool tests are pretty darn awesome.  I am amazed at just how much information the boys retain during our casual school sessions.


If only the games would help motivate the kids to put their dishes in the sink...
