Here's a selection of fun activities for you and your family...
 Rapping with Dr Seuss
A man called Wes Tank has decided to rap Dr Seuss stories in an effort to entertain himself (and others) during lockdown. Click on the link below to discover Green Eggs and Ham. Do you think you could try rapping one of your favourite stories?
 Build a LEGO balloon powered car
LEGO building is entertaining and popular for children and adults. This LEGO balloon car is a perfect example of the simple fun you can have. Combine science and engineering in this fun activity - maybe you could make a few balloon powered cars and race them?
 What can you learn from the Count and the Cookie Monster?
In this two-minute video, the Count teaches the Cookie Monster a calming breathing exercise. Try it together and maybe it will become a way of helping you through difficult times.
 Fish and couscous salad
If you are able to find couscous in the shops, this versatile cupboard staple can form the basis of many quick and easy meals. This recipe from the British Heart Foundation can be altered based on whatever leftover fish or vegetables you have in your kitchen (beans can be used instead of fish too).
