Keep kids engaged with fun virtual activities


By Puja Gupta

New Delhi, May 23 (IANSlife): With the second wave of Covid-19 infection gripping the country, children continue to be restricted to their home. Deprived of the usual exposure so crucial to childhood and growing up, it is imperative to enable substitute activities that help them socialise, learn valuable life skills, and build new interests in a meaningful and safe way -- to keep their growth and learning on course. Needless to say, any intervention must be designed in fun ways!

Here are some activities your child can participate in this summer:

British Council's Online Summer School 2021

Summer School at the British Council is a unique two-week online course where your child will improve their language, communication, and critical thinking skills to prepare them for a global world. This is an exciting opportunity to learn about and celebrate the diversity of Indian cultural heritage from around the country and use this knowledge to create and design their own products. In doing so, children of all ages will make measurable progress, learning to express themselves with confidence in English.
