Best Activities for After School with Kids from 2013

Activities for School Ages

I’m excited to share with you our TOP CHOICES of Activities to do with your elementary aged child selected by the After School Team.  Thank you so much for visiting our sites every week to discover After School Activities and to share your own activities in our Weekly After School Linky Party.  We’re doing something a little different this week and celebrating the end of 2013 with our Favorite After School Activities from our hosts.

I’m amazed that week after week our hosts share activities in a variety of subject areas to help you support your child’s learning at home.  In the 2013 Roundup of After School Activities, we’re sharing our favorite activities for Reading, Writing, Spelling, Math, Science, Social Studies, Arts and Crafts, Cooking with kids and even Outdoor Fun and Adventures.

I encourage you to take a moment to visit each our our After School Hosts and see what top activities they’ve selected to share with you in each area. What a fun way to engage in your child’s learning in 2014.
