OTHER THINGS TO DO AT HOME
- Keep a diary (this would be fascinating to keep and share with people in the future!)
- Write a letter to someone in your family who doesn't live with you. Maybe they will even write back!
- Make a postbox in your house and everyone can write letters to each other - take it in turns to be the post person and deliver the mail!
- Play any board games you have. You could start a league table to keep a record of who wins the most and least.
- Cook or bake together (even if it is as simple as making a sandwich together)
- Write a book (will you be the next JK Rowling? You could even write a series of books about the same characters!)
- Do some research about your family and make bar charts with the data (favourite colours, favourite foods and so on)
- Interview someone in your family and find out things you didn't know about them.
- Set up a points chart for things like keeping your bedroom tidy and doing household chores - at the end of each week, whoever has the most points is crowned "House Mega-Star".
- Make play-doh (flour, a little salt and enough water to make a dough). What will make the best dough? More flour? More salt? Less water? Experiment to find the best play-doh recipe.
- Household Olympics - every day run a different event (how about who can run up the stairs fastest? Or balance on one leg for the longest? Or do the most star jumps during the Eastenders opening music?)
- Put on a concert (plan who will sing or perform what, find backing tracks on You Tube with adult help, rehearse, work out what you will wear, make a leaflet about it, make a poster to tell people in the house when it will happen)
- Teach someone in your house some of the French you have learned. You could even teach the dog or cat, or even a teddy!
