Daily Idea #38: Campout

It’s Friday! That means no classes tomorrow! Because Saturday is our full day of rest (no TV, no iPads, no electronics…) we are setting up a campout inside.

I am not a camping type person; I don’t like sleeping on the ground and I don’t like sleeping outside. However, my kids have been asking to take out their sleeping bags and sleep in our backyard. As a compromise, we are going to set up their sleeping bags on the floor of their room (this way I do not have to sleep on the ground outside with them).

They are going to create their own version of outdoors inside by making pretend bats, trees, the moon… I am letting them take charge in decorations and we may even try to roast marshmallows before sunset!
