1.The Scouts website offers a wide range of activates aimed at helping kids find the magic of ‘The Great Indoors’.
As you work your way through the featured activities be sure to check out the ‘More Activities to do at home’ section at the bottom of the page. This will link you to amazing resources provided by associations such as Rolls-Royce, The British Red Cross and The Royal Air Force.
2.Google Expeditions is a free app available through the app store. If your child is missing exploring a visiting new places I highly recommend this resource. Through a VR platform it enables its users to visit and learn in a range of different environments from under the sea in the Galapagos to in the stars visiting the International Space Station. A fantastic resource for anyone wanting the visit the world around them from the comfort of their own home.
