Conquer Home-Based Learning With These Fun Activities

 

With schools starting full home-based learning (HBL) from May 19 until May 28 amid the recent spike in Covid-19 cases in Singapore, and parents working from home as much as possible, we know it can be a tough time for both parents and children alike. 

Not only are work-life boundaries starting to blur, stretched parents have to juggle both work commitments and their child’s learning needs. And with the official directive to stay home as much as possible, we understand how challenging it can be to expend the little ones’ boundless energy, let alone spare time for some precious me-time. 
Well, although we can’t ease your workload, we can help break the monotony of staying home with these fun and educational activities that can involve the whole family and provide a well-deserved breather. Here are our top picks:
