The first week with the children at home is behind us, now we have to hold out. Staying at home - not so easy when the children meet their friends and want to go outside. That means being inventive and offering something at home. We have looked around and have put together some things for you here. With a few tips and ideas for you and your children, you'll be able to meet the challenge. Have fun!
Grips Theater - We're closed. But we're here!
The popular theatre has created a blog for you, where there is something new to discover every day. Watch the live recordings of the plays Pünktchen trifft Anton und Julius und die Geister. Under the headings "See. Listen. Read. Singing. Moving. Do. Discover", a wide variety of contributions are uploaded daily until the GRIPS can play live in front of an audience again. So it's well worth checking back regularly.
Sports - the digital way
Now it's not about watching and cheering, but doing something yourself: exercise tips from fitness experts and yoga trainers for your home. ALBA Berlin offers a daily digital sports lesson for children and teenagers on their YouTube channel. From 9 am to 11 am from Monday to Friday for the age groups kindergarten children, primary school children and for high school age.
In other words: there is something for every age group. The week ends with tips and tasks to send the children into the weekend. Maybe the parents can join in as well?
Familiy workout
For some exercise for the whole family there are numerous Youtube videos. Keep fit together and have fun at the same time - that's the motto here.
