Playworks wants to help make sure kids still get to play every day.
School closures are significantly changing day-to-day life for kids across the country and the world. Families are looking for ways to keep their kids engaged, active, and having fun. And teachers are looking for support interacting with students virtually.
Playworks is here to help!
We’re providing free video tutorials of games that follow CDC guidelines and can be played at home with little to no equipment. Families can also download a printable Playbook on the Play at Home website that features these games.
To help ensure even more kids have access to these games, we have translated the playbook into the top 7 languages spoken by English Language Learner (ELL) students, according to NCES data.
