While getting a group together to go tour the surface of Mars isn’t exactly feasible (during this time… or anytime for that matter), sharing this link with your community is! Here are some ideas to make it a “group” activity.
Set a date/time for a group zoom meeting and invite everyone to join. Note… Adults will think this is cool too!
Peep our “how to host a zoom call” post here.
If they’re younger kiddos, you could have caregivers “interview” them and transcribe.
What kind of shelter would they build out of what materials? What kind of job would they do? What pet would they have? How/what would they eat? What’s the weather like? What kind of clothes would they wear/make? Encourage them to be creative and use their imagination!
How many kiddos have ever been to a working farm? They are fascinating! And who doesn’t love some cute cows?
Distribute a list of “virtual experiences” to parents/residents to do on their own during this time
