Create Your Own Activity in HomeTrail (and Add It to Your Custom Curriculum)

Every family learns differently, and that’s the beauty of homeschooling. With HomeTrail, you’re not locked into someone else’s idea of what learning should look like. Our Custom Curriculum feature lets you build a rhythm that fits your family, and that includes adding your own activities, your own way.

Here’s how to create an activity and make it part of your personalized learning journey:

🛠 Step 1: Create a New Activity

Whether it’s a nature walk, a baking project, or your home library, you can create an activity in just a few taps.

1. Open the HomeTrail app

2. Navigate to the bottom of the Home Page and click My Activities

3. Tap “Create New Activity”

4. Add the key details:

   • Title: Name your activity (e.g. “Build a Rain Gauge”)

   • Description: Add instructions, prompts, or notes for yourself

   • Link (optional): Link to a project or activity you are following

🧩 Step 2: Add the Activity to Your Custom Curriculum

Once your activity is saved, it’s easy to plug it into your existing curriculum:

1. Go to the My Activities section of the app you were just in

2. Find your activity and tap “Add to Custom Curriculum”

3. Assign it to a child, and optionally select start date, end date, days of the week, or projects your activity is part of

That’s it! Your personalized activity is now part of your homeschool plan.

🎯 Why It Matters

Adding your own activities gives you the power to:

• Honor your child’s interests

• Integrate hands-on learning

• Blend multiple subjects into one project

• Keep your homeschool experience flexible, intentional, and family-led

It’s also a great way to track what you’re doing for end-of-year assessments or just for your own peace of mind.

💡 Final Tip

Activities you create can be reused and adapted! Use them across kids, tweak them over time, or save your favorite ideas to build out next year’s plan with ease.

Start building your curriculum your way. HomeTrail gives you the structure; you bring the spark. 🌟
