Other Ideas: 

French:  

Check out some vintage French kids shows!  Try Telefrancais!  Or what about a classic like Toopy and Binou? Did you know if was the French cartoon. Slow down the speed, add closed captions, see if you can figure out what's happening! 

Health & P.E: 

Have you tried P.E. with Joe?   If not, it's pretty fun.  There are also lots of live fitness classes on Instagram as well.  Ask a parent to use their account (since you are under 13 and therefore don't have one).  Try @ryan.heffington or @aubrewinters for some dance cardio.  

If it's sunny, play a sport in your yard.  What kind of sports equipment do you have at home?   

Career:  

Use the Planner on Teams.  Create a schedule for yourself.   

Fine Arts:  

Draw 1 thing in your backyard, except this time, draw it from an ant's perspective. Imagine you have shrunk to the size of an ant.  What would your view of the world be?  (Thank you to the movie "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" for the idea!) 

Other:  

At 7pm cheer for the health care workers!  Bang pots, clap your hands, hoot and holler!  Show them you appreciate their hard work.  

Continue sharing your Try New Things with us!  We've been super impressed so far.    

Try to so something nice for the people who are making staying at home possible (grocers, delivery people, sanitation workers, etc.)
