Here's a selection of fun activities for you and your family...
 A global film festival
Coronavirus has meant that most of this year’s film festivals are not able to go ahead, so they have all teamed up for a 10-day online event called We Are One: A Global Film Festival. It combines Cannes, Tribeca, Berlin, and some smaller festivals, who do not usually get lots of publicity.
- There will be a single YouTube channel broadcasting continuously until Sunday 7 June
- Over 100 films, 13 world premieres and 31 online premieres
- All FREE to watch
 Mystery Science
Mystery Science offers lessons that inspire kids to love science. The visuals and activity have all been prepared for parents and teachers and free membership is available to teachers who haven't tried Mystery Science yet.
 Free family films
Into Film have a wide range of films available to stream for free within the UK. All films come with recommended viewing ages and talking points and many have additional educational resources too. Into Film puts film at the heart of the educational and personal development of children and young people across the UK.
 National Theatre Live
The Southbank institution has many live theatre recordings. Now, one will be released per week to stream for free on its YouTube channel. Full length plays are released every Thursday.
