• ALPHABET EASTER EGG HUNT: Can you find some paper to make 26 eggs? How can you make 26 eggs without cutting out each egg (hint: folding paper can help)? Write a different letter of the alphabet onto each egg. Ask a family member to hide the eggs (or you can hide them for your family) and go on a hunt to find them. Then arrange them in alphabetical order to see if you have found them all!

• SOCK SORTING: Next time your family is folding laundry, ask if you can sort the socks. Find all the matching pairs of socks. Is there a special way you can count the socks since they are in “pairs”? Did you find any socks that do not have a match? How does that happen? What other things in your house are found in “pairs”?

• COUNTING COLLECTION: Can you make a counting collection like we have at school? You can choose any small items that you can find at home. Perhaps you can find some pasta, beans, marbles, stickers, toothpicks, etc. How many items do you have in your collection? Can you count them by 2s, 5s, and 10s? Can you make a pattern with them? Can you sort them by size, colour, or shape?

• RAINBOWS: Do you remember the colours of a rainbow from Ms. Mah’s lesson? (hint: ROYGBIV). You may have noticed families putting pictures of rainbows in their windows to spread joy and hope. Can you make a rainbow to put in your window?

• NEIGHBOURHOOD WALK: If you are able to go for a walk with an adult, look for pictures that neighours have posted in their windows. What did you discover? (remember that playgrounds are closed and remember to practice social distancing while on your walk) 
• GO NOODLE: check out www.gonoodle.com
• OBSTACLE COURSE: Can you make an indoor or outdoor obstacle course like “Rosie’s Walk”? Remember to go across, around, over, past, through, and under some obstacles. Maybe you can use chairs, pillows, or blankets to create your obstacles.

• FILLING BUCKETS: Fill someone’s bucket at least three times this week by giving compliments to family members.  Remember that you fill your own bucket by filling other people’s buckets!
