Homeschool Subscriptions : Gypsy Gameschooler

My family loves subscriptions! There’s just something wonderful about sending your kid to go check the mail and, like magic, they have a package! It’s like getting a little bit of Christmas every month. There are many different homeschool subscriptions, so here are the ones my family has tried (and some we haven’t!) to hopefully give you a better idea of which your family will prefer.

I realized that all the subscriptions my family has tried have been social studies (mostly geography; some history). This is probably because this is an area I feel my education is weak in, so we’ve been giving it a lot of focus. However, there are also numerous science and book subscriptions, so no matter what you’re looking for, there’s probably something out there.

Geography Homeschool Subscriptions

Miss Maisy’s Tasty Travels is probably my favorite geography subscription. It’s just a letter and recipes, but this means no the cost is lower, no clutter, and nothing that we already have.

Little Passports actually has several different lines. We’ve tried their world geography and Kitchen Adventures, but they also have science and other subscriptions. Another thing that’s cool about Little Passports is they have several different subscriptions geared toward different ages. Overall quality that we have experienced is good.

Finders Seekers is a super awesome escape room, but each mystery takes place in a different location around the world. So you get escape room puzzles and geography – what could be better?!?

Destination Panama City is a cute monthly letter. They only have 6 letters, but they’re free, so there’s that. Alas, it does not feature Panama (as in, Central America with the Panama Canal) but Panama City, FL (I’ve said my geography is atrocious, right?). But it’s still cute, and did I mention it’s free?

The Adventure Letters each feature a different state in the USA. You can sign up for either their Eastern or Western subscription. It’s still just a letter (with a suitably low price point), but this one is two a month, and each comes with a surprising amount of goodies for only being a letter.

195 Box is a new subscription company, called 195 Box because each box features a different country and there are roughly 195 countries in the world. (This number varies depending on who you talk to, as some places have declared themselves a country but aren’t recognized by all other countries. Politics is confusing.) This subscription is geared toward kids ages 5-10. If you’d like to get 20% off, just use my code Gameschooling (and I’ll also be able to earn a little)!

Around the World Stories are audio stories from different countries. So far, they have 4 stories about each of 13 different European countries and 41 stories about Asian countries (4 stories per country, but Asia isn’t finished). However, they stopped producing more stories before COVID hit and don’t show any signs of starting up again. So I don’t recommend their Asia stories, but their Europe stories are great.

History and Languages

Honest History claims to be a magazine and you can subscribe to receive it monthly. However, it’s really more of a book; they’re that well-made. They do tend to be spendy, but they have a (cheaper) digital option.

One-Third Stories are a really cool way to learn a second language for young kids! I tried them with my kids, but mine are already a bit too old for it. (More importantly, they don’t have digital-only options).

There are TONS of subscriptions my family hasn’t tried. Here are at least some that I’ve heard of and they should be good, but I haven’t actually tried them:
