Mom's Night Out

After being here for almost two years, and missing having more social events for homeschool mom's and kids, I decided to start a Homeschool Mom's Night Out.

 

Our first one was last month.   We had 6 mom's come (which is a pretty small number considering the huge number of homeschoolers here and part of the area HS group), but it was a perfect number for just chatting and getting to know other mom's.   We met at one mom's house and had snacks, talked, and played a fun little icebreaker game.

 

It was fun, and we're having another on Monday.  Hopefully when the weather gets better we can do some other activities as well, like movie "chick flick" night, go out to eat, take a hike, game night, etc.   I'm also hoping to organize a couple park days for the kids to play with others during the summer.

 

For you homeschoolers, are you part of a Homeschool group?   Do you have "Mom's Nights Out"?   Park days?  What is your favorite part of the group?

I love Mom's night out!! We usually go to Perkins because it stays open late. Some of us stay until it closes. We have talked about trying something new. Thanks for the ideas!

Yes, we are here in Texas and part of a big homeschool co-op. Over 100 families come together 2 days and week and co-teach each other's children. Great way to 'get it all done' when you have children of too many ages. I will graduate my 4th of 6 this May 19th. Love your blog. treed@teacher.com

Hi Kim
We have two Mom's nights per month because for some of us moms, this is our favorite part and one night is just not enough. LOL One night we designate as resource sharing and we bring something that we are using in our homeschool that we love or find very useful. The other night we usually all come together here at my home. Some people bring a snack to share when they can but it is not required. We usually have 6 - 12 people in attendance and like yours, that is a small percentage of our group but it is a nice size I think.
So glad you enjoyed yourself.

We live in Kansas and I am trying to start one in our church. We have about 28 hs families and do not do anything to support each other except chat in the hall way. Can you suggest what ice breaker you used? thanks!
