Try Your Hand at Arithmancy

September 20, by Sarah White. 2 Comments

harry potter arithmancy codeharry potter arithmancy codeArithmancy isn’t really a school subject like it is in Harry Potter, but using numbers to decode messages is still a fun test of logic for kids at Halloween or any other time.

Teach Beside Me has a rundown of the basics and history of arithmancy (J.K. Rowling didn’t make it up) and some printable pages with Harry Potter quotes they can decipher to practice their skills. There’s even a bit of divination related to a “personality number” you can derive from your name.

Once you understand the basics you can use the code to write your own secret messages, too. Kids who love codes and riddles are sure to enjoy this!

Getting Ready for a Road Trip? These Ideas May Help

We don’t really have any travel to speak of planned this summer, and my daughter is old enough that any lengthy time in the car is usually spent with an audiobook or watching videos. But I remember the struggle of keeping little kids entertained on long trips, especially if you don’t want them on a screen the whole time.

I recently saw this post from Creating Really Awesome Fun Things, which is a roundup of 26 road trip games, ideas and activities that kids can do. From stringing beads onto pipe cleaners to felt busy boards, travel journals and using a pizza box to contain colors, trains (or cars) and more, there are lots of fun and easy ideas here.

I’m a big fan of printable road trip activities, and even have a whole post all about printables for road trips. I used to always do some kind of license plate game, a map, mazes and I-spy style scavenger hunts, which are fun for everyone in the car to play along with. (You can also find some patriotic road trip mazes here.) If your road trip includes a camping trip, check out these camping themed printable games and activities.

Productive Pete has a super cute map of the United States (pictured above) that kids can use in lots of different ways while on the road. They can color the states you travel through, or all the states they’ve ever visited, or use it to give the license plate game an extra challenge as they try to find each state on the map. You can quiz older kids on the state capitols, which you might need to brush up on yourself (guilty!).

Do you have particular games or activities that you always have on hand when you are doing a road trip with kids? I would love to hear about them!
