Chores

Early on, we used the extra time at home to get some big jobs done, and used this as an opportunity to get the kids off the screens for a while. For example, they moved a lot of dirt. The kids like a tangible task and are cheerful participants. At this point we've kind of run out of projects, but it was fun while it lasted, and maybe I'll think of more.

They have learned how to clean a bathroom, which is a crucial life skill even though they bathe so little these days.

I also had them clean the fridge down to a shine, which was a huge job, both educational and rewarding.
