Hello families...
I know many of us had plans for travel or staycations over this break. Since, we have to stay close to home, we thought we would put together a list of educational resources if you find yourself stuck inside. I added the first page from things that I knew, and then the rest are from a mass list of ideas that I have not personally checked out.
Spring Break Educational Ideas
Traditional fun: Board games, puzzles, art, write letters and mail them, put on a play, make a music video, karaoke to your favorite songs, do a dramatic reading of your favorite story, build a fort, play card games, run laps around the outside of your house (if it is safe to do so), make a workout routine and lead your family in it, organize your room, do some chores to help out, set the dinner table in a fancy way and act like it is a restaurant…..keep dreaming up the fun and get creative!

Audible is currently free for kids while schools are closed! Listen to the newest books! https://stories.audible.com/discovery They have divided the books into categories by age level: “Littlest Listeners, Elementary, Tween” and so on. Sit back and enjoy!
Podcasts are so fun! Parents use your own judgement here, as we have not personally listened to all of these.
Here are some recommendations:
Cool Math Games is an amazing website! The kids love to hop on here when they finish assignments in class. They can play any of the games to keep up their skills and just have fun!!
Virtual field trips allow children to visit places around the world without ever leaving their homes. Through virtual field trips, they can visit other states, countries across the globe, and even other planets. https://freedomhomeschooling.com/virtual-field-trips/

Kids can find out about the world around them while learning about all areas of science on the National Geographic Kids website.
Take your kids on an exciting trip into the world of Seussville, where they can play games, watch videos and read books online
