Worldschool Packing List: 20 Must-Have Items

Last Updated on January 24, 2022 by Leslie Stroud

I give A LOT more info about homeschooling, or worldschooling, in my other post here. However, for the sake of a packing list, here is a short version.

In backpacks:

1. Computer
2. Tablet
3. Travel Journal
4. Rod and Staff Math Facts books. These are small and fit awkwardly in the checked bags, so I put them into the backpacks for the oldest three.
5. Headphones

In checked luggage:

1. Pens/pencils/markers in a mesh bag
2. Extra notebook. Just the cheap wide rule works great!
3. Spelling books: Teacher Book, Student Book
4. Handwriting books: Lucy, Grant, Lincoln
5. Zearn math books
6. Computer chargers. See tech list for more details.
7. Junk bag: This is, essentially, my “junk drawer” in a bag. Do you have a junk drawer in your house? I packed the items I love the most that we may need. We used this bag fairly frequently! Oftentimes, Airbnbs don’t have these items, so it’s very convenient to have on hand. I love this mesh bag to hold it all!
   Some items in this bag include:
   1. Tape
   2. Scissors
   3. Small stapler and staples
   4. Glue stick
   5. Multi-purpose utility tool
   6. Carabiner. A big one can be quite helpful!
   7. Duct tape. This helps with broken luggage too!
   8. Safety pins
   9. Mini sewing kit. When you only have a few items of clothing, it helps to be able to fix them in a pinch!
