Try dressing up fancy for the day.

Take an hour break (or more) from your screens each day this week.

Ask a parent what extra chore you could do that would help them today.

FaceTime or Skype or call a friend or family member.

Make a wish list of 3 things you want to do after social distancing. Reflect on why they are important.

Discuss a time you were scared during quarantine. What could you do different next time?

 

Make a family tree. Use paper or an online site. Call a relative to get more info. Can they tell you a story about your ancestors?

Make a poster or collage about yourself. Include your favorite food, activities, etc.

Write a letter to a favorite teacher past or present. Share a memory from their class.
