Things to do Together!
-
Go for a walk as a family (being sure to stay away from other groups of people)
-
Read stories together or tell each other silly stories
-
Call/video-chat with a relative or family friend
-
Bake or cook together
-
Learn a TikTok dance
-
Find an online yoga/fitness class or create your own workouts
-
Teach each other or work together to learn a new skill - ex. how to knit, how to do a layup, how to draw something, how to cook a favourite meal
-
Play games with each other - ex. board games, video games, pictionary, charades
-
Do something around the house - ex. clean out kitchen cupboards, attack a messy closet, sort through old toys/clothes
-
Create a family schedule
-
Creating a routine can help things feel more "normal"​ and will allow academic work to be fit in at consistent and predicable times
-
Building in alone or quiet time can give everyone a chance a recharge - try to limit technology during this time
-
Try to plan to do similar activities at the same time daily - ex. play board games before lunch, read together or alone after lunch, walk the dog after breakfast, have "quiet time" after lunch
