Hi Mike!
Wow this is an awesome list. I am so intrigued by the club ideas on your list. Ventriliquism sounds so likes such as unique and interesting topic that I know kids would find fascinating. Thanks for sharing. You’ve got my creative juices flowing…
I have a blog with a focus on daily kid-oriented activities tied to unusual holidays and celebrations. Check it out at http://toolboxtraining.blogspot.com/
I think these club ideas are okay, but what kind of things would you do in the nature club?
This is a nice list. We run a arts club for the children.
Currently we offer:
Art club
Debate Society
Gardening Club
Pottery Club
Literacy/numeracy club
thinking club
science society
music club
drama group
geography club
history society
planting club
That is a great list! Let me know if you would like to write a guest post about any of your clubs. -Marie
