Make a surprise activity jar

From one Chicago mom: “We filled a jar with pieces of paper of activities in it and the kids select one to do. It has various activities that the kids can do for 30 mins. It includes some fun activities that they like ipad time, video game time, baking, drawing. And it includes whammies like cleaning a room, Mom’s free choice, and quiet time. The element of surprise is what makes it exciting and fun!”

Be entrepreneur for a day! 

The problem: coronavirus is spreading quickly; how do we stop the spread?

What we know:

  • It spreads through droplets in the air – sneezing, coughing, handshakes, even being close to other people
  • It spreads quickly! My 6 and 10-year old godchildren actually really understood how quickly it spreads with these simulations with the moving dots. 
  • Symptoms include fever, aches, tiredness loss of sense of smell

Come up with 8 different solutions to stop the spreading!
Every child is problem-solver and possible entrepreneur. 

  • Draw the solution!
  • Use legos, things from the recycling bin to build it!
  • Use clothes from the closet to model it.
  • Encourage them that every solution is worth exploring.

(By the way, this is based on a technique “crazy eights” app developers use!)

Solving coronavirus

If you haven’t already, explain Coronavirus to your children and how it spreads (touching, droplets in the air, stays on surfaces for long time, etc.). My 6 and 10-year old godchildren actually really understood how quickly it spreads with these simulations with the moving dots. 

Then have them come up with 8 different solutions to stop the spreading! Every child is problem-solver and possible entrepreneur. 

  • Draw the solution!
  • Use legos, things from the recycling bin to build it!
  • Use clothes from the closet to model it.
  • Encourage them that every solution is worth exploring.
