Now that your kids probably want to go camping in the yard, The Scouts have also made some great indoor activities available. They’ve pulled together some inspired indoor activity ideas to keep kids entertained while schools are closed due to coronavirus. Keep your kids learning new skills and having fun (and avoid hearing ‘I’m bored’ every 30 seconds) all in #TheGreatIndoors.

Yup, it’s back… Who's been doing the #BabySharkHandWashChallenge?

If you need your kids to burn some energy while also practicing some motor skills, check out these activities.

And, for all the Harry Potter fans, you can now sharpen your wizard skills at home. J.K. Rowling announced in the beginning of April, the launch of Harry Potter at Home, a new online hub that aims to cast “a Banishing Charm on boredom”—particularly for students and teachers seeking relief from the doldrums of quarantine. A collaboration between Rowling and Audible, Bloomsbury, OverDrive, Pottermore Publishing and Scholastic, the website is chock full of craft tutorials, educator resources and more.  

Superfans can test their Potter trivia knowledge through a series of quizzes, while newcomers to the wizarding world can read interviews with some of the film franchise’s actors or learn how to draw a niffler.

Rowling has also lifted copyright restrictions for educators, allowing teachers to remotely share the Harry Potter series with their pupils by recording videos of themselves reading the books aloud.

Through the portal, users can join a Hogwarts house and enroll in a vast curriculum of classes that come complete with syllabi, reading material, essays and even exams.

Winning magical prowess, in other words, requires real work—and though the course content is, sadly, still fictional, the critical thinking and research required to earn top grades are skills you can apply in the real world.
