Build a Time Capsule
2020 has been quite the experience so far. Make a time capsule to remember it by with this video on GoNoodle.
Play Fossil Finder
PBS has lots of educational computer games on their website. Use a giant drill to dig for fossils and learn about paleontology along the way with this computer game!
Find a New Game
There are lots of fun games on this list of 25 Indoor games for Kids 8-12 Years Old. We like #7: SOCK WARS!
For this game you will need 10-20 socks rolled up into balls:
- Divide the room into two equal halves, and place the socks on the line in the middle (you could use masking tape to mark). Divide all the kids into two equal teams.
- When the game starts, the object of the game is to get as many socks onto the other teams side of the room before time is up.
- Team members must stay on their side of the room and toss the socks over to the other sides.
- A team member cannot hold onto a sock for more than 10 seconds before having to throw it.
- You could also add in beach balls of varying sizes with the socks, for variety.
