Covid-19 crazy ideas

The boredom  of staying at home with the kids has drove many of us to become creative with how to engage the kids and keep them occupied.

For some time we tried a “home made gym” and that worked well, until they broke the main component, then we tried cycling trainer with down hill videos but the novelty of if wore off when they started “competing” who won (of course the videos were random so the kids got frustrated soon).

Now we found a project that might be a three pronged attack, we are going to translate the English version of Harry Potter to Morse code, this has the benefit of a long project, improve her English reading, teach her  Morse code and allow us to spend time together,  we started with the 1st book and done the 1st sentence, I will post our progress here.
