Beyond versus Bigger

Post by Nealewill » Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:37 pm

Is Bigger as hands on as Beyond? I am just curious. My kids LOVE the interactive play that we do with Beyond. I was just wondering if there as many interactive things with Bigger or not.

We did feel BHFHG was quite hands-on. :D The art activities, geography activities, history activities, science experiments, and methods of studying Bible verses with large gross motor skills activities all work together to make a day full of a great balance of hands-on activities and seatwork skills. We loved doing BHFHG as a follow-up to Beyond! It's the next step up and a growing up version of Beyond - very satisfying to teach and exciting to learn from! :D

Yes, definitely just as hands-on! Lots of great activities, the science experiments are some of my favorites. There are 2 science activities every week for example, art activity each week, history activity, plus the hands-on math and exercises during scripture review.... etc.

Okay - wonderful! Thanks you.

Today we did the activity where the kids had germs (paper) and they were spreading them around by sneezing (throwing the paper). And my kids had so much fun! I was just curious if the next level still had a lot of "play" in it. Thanks.
