Winter Edition: What Are We Doing Today? Virtual Activity Ideas from CMLE

Since so many of us are once again learning and working from home, CMLE has decided to resume sharing weekly online activity ideas!

Back in the spring of 2020, we created pages full of STEAM projects, art, daily exercise routines, scavenger hunts inside and outside, history lessons, virtual visits to museums and national parks, and so much more.

And we’re at it again!
To keep up with our weekly virtual activity inspiration, you can follow us on social media, sign up for our newsletter, or just keep an eye on our blog.
We will once again provide links to all our featured activities on our page in one spot for easy access.

CMLE is here to support our library members, especially during this challenging time. Always feel free to contact us at admin (at) cmle.org.

Here are a few activity ideas to get us started:

To start the day, try one of these four activities to get students excited about the day ahead! A scavenger hunt, beat the teacher game, and work on language using questions and clues! Check it out here.

Get those STEAM skills to work and make your own frost! It’s an easy experiment that doesn’t require too many materials, and if you’re in Minnesota like us, you can compare your homemade frost to the stuff outside!

The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis has this great page with FREE virtual workshops, storytime, short films, and instructions to make art at your home! Check it out and create away!

We’ll have more posts like this next week, with lots of ideas to keep you busy and learning from home. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy!
