Homeschool Blogs

A Carnival by Kids, for Kids!!

Home >> Homeschool Blogs By Kids Carnival

Allowing your child to set up a blog is a great way of setting up creative writing activities for kids. I have found that as well as teaching persistence, blogging has helped with spelling and writing skills.

Homeschool Blogs - my daughter at the PC!
But homeschooled kids often want their blog to reach a wider audience (than just Mom and the grandparents!!). So I have set up a homeschool carnival just for them!

The Carnival is a place for a homeschooled kid to show-off a blog entry - and to go see what other homeschooled kids are blogging about.

Why should my Child blog?

Although aimed at teachers, this great video explains the benefits of children blogging really well.

What is a Homeschool Carnival?

A Blog Carnival is a place where lots of links to blog posts are collected together and put in one place - so that you can read lots of new and interesting blogs easily.

The Homeschool Kids Carnival will be hosted by Homeschooling-ideas.com and each month will display links to homeschool blogs by kids. The idea is that kids will get to look at other homeschooled kids blogs - and have their blog read by more than just the relatives!

How does my child join the Carnival?

Simply go to the Homeschooled Kids Carnival page and enter your submission details. If you are having problems with the submission page, then you can email me the details.

Blog entries can be about whatever the child likes to blog about - it doesn't have to be about being homeschooled.

Please Note - This carnival is for HOMESCHOOLED KIDS only! No adult blogs are allowed.

Is this safe?

If you allow your child to have a blog, then you can take precautions to protect them. As a minimum, set up your child's blog to have comments moderated - and have all comments emailed to you for approval. Also check your child's post to make sure they are not divulging personal details - getting your child to write under a false name is also advised.

I will check all carnival submissions and ensure (as best I can) that they are only from children. In this way we can work together to keep our children safe.

How can I support the Carnival?

Tell the children you know who blog about it.

There are some Blog Buttons available here.
