Indoor and Outdoor Family Learning Daily Challenges

As part of the work we are suggesting to our families during the lockdown, we are sending a daily idea for a task that can be completed by children of all ages by family groups. We wanted to reduce the number of different tasks that a family was asked to do and so created these daily ideas for less academic, more creative activities. They are mostly collated from various resources on the web so most of the ideas are nothing new but they are all together, mapped out in one place. They are dated (beginning 23rd March) so you can either amend the dates, or join in at the relevant date.
