Ready-Made CluesHere is a list of clues about ordinary indoor objects. Copy and print these to save time. You'll find the answers at the end. You may also use these clues as inspiration for your own list. Since your home may have more than one of some of these objects, the kids may have to check out more than one location before they find the next clue. That makes the game last longer, gives them more exercise, and adds to the fun.

On the busy days of work, these are often the email I prioritize to end of my list of "to do's." I am thrilled that I read it today. It was a post by Rachel Simmons. You may have seen her on Good Morning America episodes before. In the days to come that will be filled schooling from home, working, trying to keep the anxiety and fear at bay, and seeking ways to use this situation to point to the amazing God we have, it was words I needed to be reminded of. Rachel's post: I have been way more tense lately. There have been a few moments where I've spoken more harshly than my daughter deserved, and when my anxiety has come through as anger. Have you been experiencing that, too? One strategy I've found useful is writing a note to my daughter to apologize and/or explain what's really going on for me. I invite her to respond on the other side. This time, I got a resolution. It doesn't always go that way. Why write a note to your child? Because it gives her the opportunity to read it on her own terms and in her own space. Because it shows your ability to be self-reflective, vulnerable and accountable, three critical behaviors to model for your child. And because getting a note can make your child feel that much more respected, and special, in a tough moment.
With the closing of school, it can be scary and alarming. We want you to know that we are in this together. By working together, we can reduce the worry that surrounds the virus. Together is better. As we all navigate this new reality, I know you may be unsure about how to best serve your children. I am including some resources for you and your students during this time of uncertainty. Please feel free to email if you have any concerns or questions
