Celebrate Earth Day!

Hey readers,

Today, people all over the globe celebrate Earth Day. It’s a time to think about how we can help keep our planet healthy. Here are five things you can do to take part:

1. Plant a tree: If you have space in your yard, plant a tree. Trees reduce toxins in the air and help keep the planet cool.
2. Go for a bike ride with your family: Biking is a great way to get exercise and doesn’t create pollution.
3. Use a refillable water bottle: Cut down on single-use plastics because they can harm the environment and animals sometimes mistake them for food.
5. Go on a bug hunt: Look for different types of bugs in your backyard and compare them to each other. What do they have in common? How are they different?

Tell us how you’ll be celebrating Earth Day in the comments below!

Talk to you later,

Happy World Theatre Day!

Hey readers,

Today is World Theatre Day! People all over the globe celebrate this special day, and so can you. Check out these fun and creative activities you can do at home with your family.

• Freeze Frame: With your family members, pick a scene from a movie, show, or history and create a tableau. A tableau is when a group of people strike a pose to reenact a scene. (See how long you can hold still like a statue!)
• Trust Exercise: Team up with a friend or family member and stand in an open area. Have one person fall into the other’s arms, trusting to be caught!
• Copycat: Grab a friend and play the mirror game. Stand facing each other, and have one person act out a scenario, and the other person has to mirror what they are doing.

Bravo!
