The next few weeks are going to be a challenge. It's going to be hard on kids being away from school. It's going to be a huge change for working parents and the caregivers home with these little ones during the day - unsure what's safe to participate in during the break. We have a heart for our community, our kids, and our families. We want to help! Here's what we're going to do: Beginning next week, our studio will be going live daily Monday through Friday at 1pm Eastern Tim

FAN FAVORITE! Luc & Rowan's Peaceable Disappearances

# data[].attributes.body
Your children are invited to the least Quakerly digital recess of all time:

Rowan and Luc's Peaceable Disappearances

Join us every day at 1 PM to play the party game Mafia on Zoom.

1. Read the rules below.

2. If you want to play, create a free Zoom account.

3. On days you want to play, join Rowan’s Zoom room 425-190-6740 at 1 PM. Games end at 1:40 pm, sharp. (Meetings on free Zoom accounts can only be 40 minutes long. If everyone really wants to play more, we can stop the meeting and create a new one.)

How to play:

We will need at least 6 players (but it's better with more).

Choose one person to be the narrator/leader. The narrator will choose one or more people to be the mafia (depending on the size of the group), one person to be the doctor, and the rest to be innocents.  The game has 3 repeating phases:

NIGHT FALLS

Once everyone’s ready to play, the narrator says, "NIGHT FALLS," and everyone must stop their video and mute their microphones.

Then the narrator will send a private message to each player to tell them their role: mafia, doctor, or innocent. If there is more than one mafioso, the narrator will tell each of them who the other one is so that they can plot by private chat.

The mafia will decide who they want to kill, and will DM the narrator.

The doctor will DM the narrator with the name of who they want to save.

DAWN ARRIVES

The narrator says or texts the whole group, “DAWN ARRIVES,” and everyone must turn on their video and microphone.

The narrator will tell a short, made-up story about who just died and how, and whether or not the doctor saved them.

Whoever was killed by the mafia confesses their role. If all the innocents are killed, the mafia win.

ACCUSATIONS

Next, everyone gets to talk for a short period about who they think is part of the mafia, and to defend their own innocence.

Votes are then posted in the group chat about who the group wants to accuse as being a member of the mafia.

Whoever is accused confesses their role. If both of the mafia have been voted out, the innocents win. The doctor counts as an innocent when deciding who wins.

If there’s a tie, no one dies.

Any players who have died or who have been accused are out of the game. They turn off their cameras but can leave their microphones on.

Repeat until one side wins. If there are two people left, one mafia and one innocent, the dead innocents get to vote along with the two people left. Dead mafia can't vote.

Because I’m a #coolmom, I make give my kids the opportunity to do extra math in the summer. I am all kinds of jazzed about a website called The Art of Problem Solving. It has an approach that treats math like a language and brings clarity to why math works the way it does.

They have a great elementary school level - Beast Academy - and an online site with games and such that you can subscribe to if you want.

On our end, Rowan and her friend, Hadley, are using the (free) downloadable placement tests they offer to find out where they fit on the APOS curriculum spectrum. Once they know, we’re going to order matching guide books and workbooks. They’re going to do some amount independently and some collaboratively via Face Time.

Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about it. Jkbastien@gmail.con

Ideas for Kid Structured Time (Turner Thomas)

I have a vision of kids making gravestones out of cardboard and also items that they formerly enjoyed quite freely (like bulk bagels) and setting them over there. Kind of like a art as grief performance. We could share pictures. In related news, I am also building my version of that (see link).

We are big into art projects in our family.  Will be coupling some of these with the below resource to help us look at some famous pieces and get us inspired!

Will create another padlet or virtual way to SHARE all of our art projects and works- can create our own museum of sorts!

Going into a self-quarantine can have many complex issues and complications beyond having enough food and supplies for two weeks. In terms of entertainment, it also probably means you're in for a lot of boredom, a lot of Netflix, and a lot of browsing the internet. But there is a way to get a little culture and education while you're confined to your home. According to Fast Company, Google Arts & Culture teamed up with over 500 museums and galleries around the world to bring anyone and everyone virtual tours and online exhibits of some of the most famous museums around the world..

Now, you get "go to the museum" and never have to leave your couch.

Google Arts & Culture's collection includes the British Museum in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Guggenheim in New York City, and literally hundreds of more places where you can gain knowledge about art, history, and science. This collection is especially good for students who are looking for ways to stay on top of their studies while schools are closed.

Take a look at just some of Google's top museums that are offering online tours and exhibits.

British Museum, London

This iconic museum located in the heart of London allows virtual visitors to tour the Great Court and discover the ancient Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies. You can also find hundreds of artifacts on the museum's virtual tour.

Guggenheim Museum, New York

Google's Street View feature lets visitors tour the Guggenheim's famous spiral staircase without ever leaving home. From there, you can discover incredible works of art from the Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary eras.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

This famous American art museum features two online exhibits through Google. The first is an exhibit of American fashion from 1740 to 1895, including many renderings of clothes from the colonial and Revolutionary eras. The second is a collection of works from Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer.

Musée d'Orsay, Paris

You can virtually walk through this popular gallery that houses dozens of famous works from French artists who worked and lived between 1848 and 1914. Get a peek at artworks from Monet, Cézanne, and Gauguin, among others.

National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul

One of Korea's popular museums can be accessed from anywhere around the world. Google's virtual tour takes you through six floors of Contemporary art from Korea and all over the globe.

Pergamon Museum, Berlin

As one of Germany's largest museums, Pergamon has a lot to offer-even if you can't physically be there. This historical museum is home to plenty of ancient artifacts including the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and, of course, the Pergamon Altar.

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Explore the masterworks from the Dutch Golden Age, including works from Vermeer and Rembrandt. Google offers a Street View tour of this iconic museum, so you can feel as if you're actually wandering its halls.

Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam

Anyone who is a fan of this tragic, ingenious painter can see his works up close (or, almost up close) by virtually visiting this museum - the largest collection of artworks by Vincent van Gogh, including over 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and over 750 personal letters.

The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles

European artworks from as far back as the 8th Century can be found in this California art museum. Take a Street View tour to discover a huge collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, manuscripts, and photographs.

Uffizi Gallery, Florence

This less well-known gallery houses the art collection of one of Florence, Italy's most famous families, the de'Medicis. The building was designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1560 specifically for Cosimo I de'Medici, but anyone can wander its halls from anywhere in the world.

MASP, São Paulo

The Museu de Arte de São Paulo is a non-profit and Brazil's first modern museum. Artworks placed on clear perspex frames make it seem like the artwork is hovering in midair. Take a virtual tour to experience the wondrous display for yourself.

National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City

Built in 1964, this museum is dedicated to the archaeology and history of Mexico's pre-Hispanic heritage. There are 23 exhibit rooms filled with ancient artifacts, including some from the Mayan civilization.

Sadly, not all popular art museums and galleries could be included on Google Arts & Culture's collection, but some museums are taking it upon themselves to offer online visits. According to Fast Company, the Louvre also offers virtual tours on its website.

To see more of Google Arts & Culture's collection of museums, visit the collection's website. There are thousands of museum Street Views on Google as well. Google Arts & Culture also has an online experience for exploring famous historic and cultural heritage sites.
