What a fun time we’ve had learning high school psychology! We’ve done so many hands-on activities, including: making a vegetable brain, a play doh brain, and a play doh neuron; placing foods on a tongue map; doing a perception activity involving snapping pictures of being chased by a car; drawing a large colorful chart of our basic needs; moving stuffed animals to re-enact various concepts; and performing many fascinating skits–sometimes involving costumes and props, and in one instance, a live cat.
We have thoroughly enjoyed using the psychology curriculum from 7 Sisters that you can find here: {affiliate link} Introduction to Psychology from a Christian Perspective.
Hands-on Psychology Activities
I thought I would make it easier for you by creating an index or table of contents for all these fun psychology activities you can do:
- How to Make a Vegetable Brain
- Tongue Map & Perception Activity
- What Makes You Creative: Nature or Nurture?
- The Insane History of Psychology: Goofy Skits
- Famous Psychologists: Freud, Adler, & Jung
- Goofy Skits: Nonverbal Communication
- Maslow’s Human Needs and Motivation
- What Do We Know About Personality?
- Sleep & Dreams: Goofy Skits
Psychology Bloopers
We also have some psychology blooper videos, if you need some merriment in your life:
Since homeschool parents need to buy curriculum for their high school students anyway, and psychology is one of your standard half-credit high school electives (it’s a one-semester course), you might as well purchase the curriculum here: {affiliate link} Introduction to Psychology from a Christian Perspective.

How fun! Psychology is fascinating. This looks like a fun curriculum.
We had a wonderful time with it, learning the basics and doing hands-on activities to solidify our learning.
Psychology was one of my favorite subjects. It was actually my college major!
Cool!
I’m going to save this post and look at incorporating Introduction to Psychology From A Christian Perspective into our upcoming schedule. I would really love to get to do it with my kids….I’ve loved your posts on this topic!
Glad you have enjoyed them!
Who knew that psychology could be made so approachable and fun for kids? I really like how hands-on this curriculum is.
I’m glad to share our enjoyment of psychology!
