Having your kids at home for multiple weeks can have some issues and complications beyond having enough food and supplies for two weeks. In terms of entertainment, it also probably means you and your kids may be in for a lot of boredom, a lot of Netflix, and a lot of browsing the internet. But there is a way to get a little culture and education while you’re confined to your home. This collection is especially good for students who are looking for ways to stay on top of their studies while schools are closed. Now you can all "go to the museum" and never have to leave your couch!

The Bible app has some awesome, and engaging videos on their YouTube channel. Their channel features tons of bible stories that are easily understood and explained just for your children. Check out their channel through the link below.

We know every year after VBS your kids are just dying to dance to the songs again, so why not bring them back and have a VBS song dance party for the whole family?! This is a great way to engage with your kids, send a good message, and maybe even burn a couple calories along the way. ;)

All of the lessons below are expertly designed to engage students, achieve learning outcomes, and be easy for teachers to use. There are short mini-lessons that are completely digital and full lessons that include an activity. All of the activities are designed to use simple supplies a parent will likely already have at home.

There's lot of fun activities that can be done right in the comfort of your own backyard. Check out the resource below to see how you can have a fun "staycation" with your family while the kids are out of school and eager to be active.

• If kids are missing their school friends or other family, try video chats to stay in touch.
• Practice multiplication, division, addition and subtraction with your kids. That’ll put them in a REALLY good mood. For older kids, break out the practice tests.
• Build a fort with blankets or cardboard boxes.
• Make time for active play. Bring out the blocks, balls, jump ropes and buckets and let the creativity go.
• Do that mending and ironing you’ve been putting off since 2004.
• Make freeze-ahead dinners. The ones you wish you had right now.
• Make mazes or puzzles for each other to solve.
• Make homemade mini pizzas.
• Download an app and learn how to edit videos.
