    It’s hard keeping active little imaginations and bodies occupied on a good day, when the sun is shining and they can run around outside.

     

    On rainy days, parenting becomes even more of a challenge. Rather than plop down in front of the TV, try out our top picks for at-home rainy day fun!

    Remote Learning

     

    Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion developed some fun and educational activities for families to enjoy during “shelter at home”. Topics include - W.E.B. Dubois and “The Philadelphia Negro” (1896); Emancipation Proclamation; Industrial Revolution (weaving and code breaking). Lessons are online and free.

    Escape Room

     

    Presented by The Escape Game King of Prussia: play the Escape Game’s newest game, Ruins: Forbidden Treasure, from anywhere in the world using Zoom. Control an avatar wearing a live feed camera, search 360 degree images of the room, and use items in your online dashboard to progress through the game! Plus, one of our Game Guides will be there to help along the way!

    Activity Sheets

     

    Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens has coloring pages and fun activity sheets to keep you busy when you’re stuck with your kids inside. Print them out, color, and relax!

    Historical Fun

     

    Betsy Ross is busy working from home and has created a video series called ‘Betsy at Home’ that is shared on social media, @thebetsyrosshouse on Instagram, @betsyrosshouse on Twitter, and the Betsy Ross House on Facebook.

     

    The videos live on the Historic Philadelphia Youtube page. They feature the little rebel herself, telling stories and sharing information about her time growing up in colonial Philadelphia.
