Take A Virtual Tour or Class
Museums: Google Arts and Culture has partnered with more than 2,500 museums and galleries around the world in order to offer virtual tours and online displays of their collections to internet surfers.
The “tours” allow users to wander through the interiors of the world’s most famous museums similarly to the Google Street View feature. Users can also download Google’s free Arts and Culture iOS or Android app for a much more immersive museum experience.
In addition to offering the tours, many of the museums are also offering up detailed online collections of their masterpieces just in case you want to get up close and personal with one of Vincent Van Gogh’s self-portraits.
Zoos & Aquariums: Many Zoos and aquariums are offering live stream or special live encounters over on their social media. Check out the full list of Zoos participating in live streams here!
Virtual Storybooks: Read one of these books with your kids or have them read to you via Storyline Online. Amazon also has a great selection of Free ebooks for kids.
Educational Shows/Documentaries For Kids
I love when watching a documentary with my kids. There are some great resources for learning and inspiring kids. I’d recommend having your kids write down and share 10 things they learned after watching one of these.
Kid Approved Documentaries on Disney+

I hope this helps keep you and your kids engaged & entertained. Happy learning!
