THERE is a saying that has become truly profound in 2020: “Expect the unexpected. Believe in the unbelievable. Achieve the unachievable.”
As the world is faced with the devastation that is Covid-19, one thing is becoming very clear – self-isolation could well stop this highly contagious virus in its tracks.
But how do we keep our kids positively engaged during this time?
At READ Educational Trust, they believe the key is to keep enquiring young minds active! For this reason, READ Educational Trust has given parents and children across South Africa access to a series called Busy ‘B’ Home Activities, during the period of mandatory lockdown.
Available through links on all their websites and social media pages, the Busy ‘B’ Series is set to help parents keep their children positively engaged at home!
Best of all?
Every activity is 100% free.
Who is it for?
READ caters for children from Grade 4 through to high school.
Types of activities include a self-discovery game to stimulate conversation and set imaginations alive; a newspaper race game (great to use the PE Express!); treasures in our lives (encouraging gratitude in our children), and people we treasure; and many more.
All the Busy ‘B’ activities are sourced from their hugely successful Readathon Red Reading Box series. Released annually for the past seven years, the Red Reading Boxes are filled with activities, games and stories to encourage reading skills and literacy.
For those parents who would like to find out more about the Red Reading Box series, go to https://thereadshop.co.za/, where they may be purchased.
With every literacy product purchased, 100% of profits will be used by READ to further their literacy promotion in disadvantaged communities.
