Suggested Daily Schedule
Fun, Family Activities:
During this time at home, it is important for students to keep themselves busy, but it is just as important to do self-care and find activities at home that allow students to be creative, imaginative, do activities with a purpose/goal as a family, healthy family interaction, and activities that promote healthy family relationships while having fun and being interactive. 
 
Here's a few ideas to stay busy without visiting public places.  
 
1.  Board Games and Puzzles.
2.  Crafts.  Give your kiddos a box of random materials and see what creative things they can make! 
3.  Visit your Pinterest boards.  I bet you have a lot of projects and things there that you've not done because you just didn't have time! 
4.  Cleaning projects.  
5.  Write letters to family or friends to send in the mail.  
6.  Take an online/virtual language class.  
7.  Learn a new hobby with youtube.  Knitting, crocheting, painting, etc.  There's lots of online tutorials.  
8.  Have a bake off/cook off like you see on cooking shows or teach your kiddos how to cook! 
9.  Write a play and act it out. 
10.  Make a movie.  iMovie on your iPhone is pretty easy to use.  
11.  Science kits/Science experiments.  This will be educational and fun! 
12.  Play dress up.  Make next year's halloween costumes.  You have lots of time to be creative! 
13.  Clean out closets with toys and help your kiddos list them on marketplace or eBay to sell.  
14.  Build things with legos and blocks. 
15.  FaceTime with grandparents and do a performance! 
16.  Volunteer to read or sing with someone in a nursing home over FaceTime, if possible. Write letters or make cards for a nursing home and send them in the mail.   They can't have visitors, so they are getting lonely.  
17.  Make a present to give their teacher or a friend whenever they return to school.  
18.  Start a youtube channel!  They all want to be youtubers when they grow up.  So, start a kid-friendly youtube channel and share it with family/friends.  
19.  Plan a summer vacation!  Hopefully, we'll be able to travel by then.  
20.  Let them be bored.  Just see what they come up with to entertain themselves! 
21. Play outside!  Ride bikes, shoot hoops, play catch, etc. with family (but don't arrange play dates and sleepovers). 
22.  Build a fort.
23.  Watch your favorite cartoon movie from your childhood.
24.  Make a scrapbook of family photos.  
25.  Teach the dog a new trick!  There's dog training videos on youtube.  
26.  Check out the "Students" link on my website for a list of educational websites and games for students. 
27.  Have each kid pick a topic they would like to learn about and teach each other. 
28.  Build a giant structure in the living room using whatever you can find to build with. 
29.  Relay races in the backyard.
30.  Make picture videos by taking pictures and putting them together as a story. 
31.  Visit virtual museums online. 
32.  Take a virtual trip!
33.  Plant a garden as it warms up, or maybe just a few plants.
34.  Camp out in the backyard and make s'mores. 
35.  Lay out sleeping bags and blankets in the yard and star gaze.  Try to find constellations. 
36.  Lots of educational websites are waiving membership fees right now, check them all out so you can see which ones you might want to pay for in the future. 
37.  Build a house out of old cardboard/amazon boxes and have them decorate them with markers. 
38.  Have a board game tournament. 
39.  Take painting or drawing classes on youtube. 
40.  Exercise videos-yoga, dance videos, etc.
41.  Draw self-portraits.
42.  Sidewalk chalk 
43.  Make a video and send to your teacher (or me).
