With kids out of school, parents are looking for creative ways to keep their children entertained without leaving the house. Fortunately, there are all sorts of educational activities your family can take advantage of without breaking any social distancing protocols.

At Inside the Magic, we're constantly on the lookout for at-home experiences that are infused with Disney magic. One of Disney's latest offerings, 'Imagineering in a Box' is sure to keep older kids entertained for days (and teach them some great skills along the way!)

To develop Imagineering in a Box, Disney partnered with Khan Academy, which has been offering online educational resources for students since 2008. The free Imagineering course features 32 videos that showcase real Imagineers from around the world sharing their skills and passions.

Disney is dedicated to fostering a love of learning in today's kids and 'Imagineering in a Box' has something for everyone. Whether your tween or teen is interested in story development, conceptual design, or STEM subjects like math and engineering, they will be excited by these modules.

Throughout the curriculum, students will discover how Disney Imagineers bring the immersive experiences that only Disney Parks offer to life, from concept to reality.

The Imagineering in a Box videos cover everything from an overview of engineering software to interactive, hands-on projects that can be done without leaving the house. The program was specifically developed to help kids relate the Disney stories they already love to the skills they're introduced to in each module.

One of the best parts of this Imagineering for kids course is that older children and parents can tackle the classes together. At the end of the program, you'll have a new appreciation for Disney theme park design, character development, and attraction engineering.

This Disney educational program does not list a recommended age, so use your discretion and your child's ability level. Each module is scalable for use at home or in a traditional classroom.

Ignite your kids' creativity and get started with Imagineering in a Box here!

Learning about the Speech Helpers is an important first step in learning to say a new sound.

It helps children and adults follow sound placement cues and movement directions more easily and with less confusion.

Meet Your Speech Helpers

Read and talk about these 10 Helpers with your children.

This will help them learn what parts of the body make speech and which ones are used to make each sound.

Locate and feel each one your body.

Then try making some of the sounds that go with each one.

*Remember when you read letters with quotations ("K"), it means to read it as "the sound it makes without a vowel." DO NOT say it with a vowel ("kuh" as in cut) or as the letter name K (Kay).

"F" is "ffffffffff" not "fuh" or "eff"

"N" is "nnnnn" not "nuh" or "en"

This e-Book gives you detailed descriptions, sound examples, real, full color photos, and a color by number chart to solidify you and your child's understanding.

< Back to UNICEF COVID-19 portal

Being a teenager is difficult no matter what, and the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is making it even harder. With school closures and cancelled events, many teens are missing out on some of the biggest moments of their young lives - as well as everyday moments like chatting with friends and participating in class.

For teenagers facing life changes due to the outbreak who are feeling anxious, isolated and disappointed, know this: you are not alone. We spoke with expert adolescent psychologist, best-selling author and monthly New York Times columnist Dr. Lisa Damour about what you can do to practice self-care and look after your mental health.

1. Recognize that your anxiety is completely normal

If school closures and alarming headlines are making you feel anxious, you are not the only one. In fact, that's how you're supposed to feel. "Psychologists have long recognized that anxiety is a normal and healthy function that alerts us to threats and helps us take measures to protect ourselves," says Dr. Damour. "Your anxiety is going to help you make the decisions that you need to be making right now - not spending time with other people or in large groups, washing your hands and not touching your face." Those feelings are helping to keep not only you safe, but others too. This is "also how we take care of members of our community. We think about the people around us, too."

While anxiety around COVID-19 is completely understandable, make sure that you are using "reliable sources [such as the UNICEF and the World Health Organization's sites] to get information, or to check any information you might be getting through less reliable channels," recommends Dr. Damour.

If you are worried that you are experiencing symptoms, it is important to speak to your parents about it. "Keep in mind that illness due to COVID-19 infection is generally mild, especially for children and young adults," says Dr. Damour. It's also important to remember, that many of the symptoms of COVID-19 can be treated. She recommends letting your parents or a trusted adult know if you're not feeling well, or if you're feeling worried about the virus, so they can help.

And remember: "There are many effective things we can do to keep ourselves and others safe and to feel in better control of our circumstances: frequently wash our hands, don't touch our faces and engage in physical distancing."

2. Create distractions

"What psychologists know is that when we are under chronically difficult conditions, it's very helpful to divide the problem into two categories: things I can do something about, and then things I can do nothing about," says Dr. Damour.

There is a lot that falls under that second category right now, and that's okay, but one thing that helps us to deal with that is creating distractions for ourselves. Dr. Damour suggests doing homework, watching a favourite movie or getting in bed with a novel as ways to seek relief and find balance in the day-to-day.

3. Find new ways to connect with your friends

If you want to spend time with friends while you're practicing physical distancing, social media is a great way to connect. "I would never underestimate the creativity of teenagers," says Dr. Damour, "My hunch is that they will find ways to [connect] with one another online that are different from how they've been doing it before."

"[But] it's not going to be a good idea to have unfettered access to screens and or social media. That's not healthy, that's not smart, it may amplify your anxiety," says Dr. Damour, recommending you work out a screen-time schedule with your parents.

4. Focus on you

Have you been wanting to learn how to do something new, start a new book or spend time practicing a musical instrument? Now is the time to do that. Focusing on yourself and finding ways to use your new-found time is a productive way to look after your mental health. "I have been making a list of all of the books I want to read and the things that I've been meaning to do," says Dr. Damour.

In short, this virtual field trip will provide you with a deeper understanding of the history of each form of music, its particular artists, and its specific sound. In the end, you will be able to see how each physical location played a part in shaping and forming its own special sound and culture in the world of music.

Instructions

During this field trip, you will use the interactive map, text, photos, audio, and video to explore the various birthplaces and genres of music.

Furthermore, keep notes and a journal of your experiences and impressions of each birthplace, and answer the questions included on each page about a particular type of music. At the end of your field trip, use your journal, your questions, and your answers to write an essay about the history of these four musical genres.

Learner Description
