Before any athletic activity or workout, it is SUPER IMPORTANT to stretch your body. These stretches below will help you feel nice and loose while you exercise and move. Let's get started, and remember to control your breathing.
Materials
1. Start by making a number of different paper clip chains. You can make patterns or do each tentacle one color. If you want, try hanging bells or beads to your paperclips!
2. Have an adult use a small screwdriver (or other sharp tool) to poke holes around the top drinking edge of your plastic cup.
3. Connect each paperclip tentacle to the cup through the little holes.
4. Add some googly eyes, if you have them. If you dont, try making eyes with a permanent marker!
5. Have an adult poke a hole in the center, bottom of your cup. Place a string through hole and knot it to hang

The Louvre Museum may be located all the way in Paris, France but thanks to the power of the internet, you can experience one of the world’s biggest, most beautiful museums at home. Originally built in 1190 as a military fortress, the Louvre now houses some of the world’s most incredible art, including Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Mona Lisa.

Take a close up look at the Mona Lisa, considered to be the world's most famous painting!
Learn more about the the virtual reality experience the museum designed which brings to life the story of the Mona Lisa, da Vinci’s most famous masterpiece.
All you need for this classic game is a pen, a piece of paper, and someone to play with!
Here’s how you play:
Set up a grid of dots on a piece of paper like this.
Choose who goes first. Whoever goes first draws a line connecting two dots. It can be any two dots.
The other player then connects any two dots. You continue this back and forth.
When you get to a point where the lines look like this, draw a fourth line to complete the square. Write a letter in the square representing your name and then you get to draw a bonus line. You get to do this every time you complete a square.
Eventually, you will end up in a situation like this where you have to fill out and complete squares.
Continue until the entire grid is complete. Then add together the number of squares each person completed. The person with the most squares wins!
Here is a really interesting video to watch first.

Rules
Objective
This game is deceptively difficult. If both players play perfect defense, the game can go on forever.
1. Starting
2. Blue moves and neutral piece move
3. Red rotates and neutral piece move
4. Blue rotates and chooses not to move a neutral piece
5. Red makes a mistake and moves and doesn’t move a neutral piece either
6. Blue flips over and moves without moving a neutral piece, and wins!
Be warned! Until you learn the strategies this game can go on for a LONG time.
Here are the ONLY winning end-game results. If both players move perfectly a sudden-death variant rule allows a player to move BOTH neutral pieces after moving their L.
