For kids
Make screen time beneficial
Full home-based learning (HBL) for students means plenty of screen time at home. When your child needs a break, enrich them with edutainment content instead of games and entertainment! A recent popular choice is the
Storyline Online YouTube channel where celebrities (like Michelle Yeoh and Oprah Winfrey) read a wide array children’s books to inspire children to read more.
If you’re worried about your child developing ‘screen addiction’ and how to prevent it, check out the article below.

For seniors
Can’t socialise? Pick up a new skill/hobby
The best way for seniors to minimise risk of contracting COVID-19 is to minimise face-to-face interactions, and avoid stepping out of the home. While waiting for the situation to improve, try keeping your brain active by learning a new skill like how to speak a foreign language or play a musical instrument (you can find plenty of such instructional videos free on YouTube).
You can also try puzzle-solving games for seniors, available for free at online sites like
Seniorlink Blog. Or play card games and chess/checkers with your spouse.
