The National Child Traumatic Stress Network has developed a useful handout that offers activity ideas to parents whose families are sheltering in place, social distancing, and homeschooling due to school closures amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. This fact sheet outlines activities families can do without supplies, in lighted or dark areas, to stay preoccupied when dealing with the stress of a major event. Ideas found on \u201cSimple Activities for Children and Adolescents\u201d include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Write letters to friends or family. Create homemade cards to send to friends and family to stay connected.<\/li>\n
  2. Play \u201cSound Search.\u201d Everyone sits still and identifies as many different sounds as possible.<\/li>\n
  3. Play \u201cFollow the Leader.\u201d Players line up and walk behind the leader, copying whatever the leader does.<\/li>\n
  4. Read to your pet. This is great for young readers as well as children with reading challenges.<\/li>\n
  5. Tell exaggerated \u201cStories\u201d of the \u201cold days\u201d to entertain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
