It is the first Friday in December and you know what that means right? Yes not only a #MovieNightFriday but holiday themed. I will be quite honest, I don’t have the most intense lesson for this one. We are winging it and just having more fun than not but as you know, I make everything educational. Any way, there are 6 Home Alone Movies in the franchise but really the first 3 are the best.
So ideas to make this movie night more educational can be comparing the films. Which is best and why?
You can map out where they take place, especially the Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and see how far Kevin travels within New York City. If you live in the city, you can even visit those locations in person.
