Every year I plan to do Groundhog Day activities with my multi-age homeschoolers, and then the day sneaks up on my and we end up doing very little! This year, I’ve finally got a plan AHEAD of time.
Groundhog Day Activities
Groundhog Day is fun for everyone – from littles to bigs. My homeschoolers are in 6th, 4th, 2nd, and kindergarten, and while many of these activities are geared for younger children, there are a few interesting books and resources for my oldest kids as well. I love finding homeschooling inspiration based on current events or holidays. It’s possible to incorporate reading, writing, and math, and fun into the day with just a little prep work!

Official Groundhog Day Website
If you’ve got older kids at home, make sure you head over to the official Groundhog Day website where you can find an entire curriculum for the day for all age kids, and watch a live viewing of the groundhog too!
Learn more about the Groundhog at his official Groundhog Website with more activities, information on Punxsutawney, Pa and other learning resources.
Watch a live video of the Groundhog, because we all want to know if we’re in for six more weeks of winter or if we get a break this year!
