Educational Activities You Can Do at Home part 1 1

During the last month, many companies have offered free access to their platforms and provided thousands of activities to do while staying home due to COVID-19. While these companies are all doing their best to help, the number of resources and activities listed can be overwhelming or just not a fit for you. Not everyone has a backyard to jump on a trampoline or build a greenhouse. So what we did was go through A LOT of these lists of activities and selected the ones that can be easily implemented, so you don’t have to worry and spend time doing it.

Here’s a selection of the educational activities you can “plug & play” to start learning from home:
