Family fun can include educational activities, especially if your family homeschools or is of the left brained genes. Math games and challenges can be fun too. Not only will this help your children that are not artistically inclined to participate, it will help your kids learn to think, a skill that is quite important.
There are many sites for great challenge activities for all ages. You may be surprised how challenging they can be. If you have children that are in many different ages, choose a question of the week for each age group. If they are close in age, choose one question for the whole family. Have the answers "due" on Saturday, post a new question Sunday. Make a chart of who got their question correct and reward those who made the effort. Even if you are not a "math person," your kids may be. So give it a shot!
Here are some sites to use:
Figure This has fun challenges and a lot of helpful information.
White House for Kids has a question of the week, plus achieved questions for many grade levels.
Newton's Math challenge has a few "excursions" for your family
Have fun computing!
