Earlier in 2020, while finding myself suddenly trying to homeschool my kids while in lockdown I turned to the one place that seemed to be keeping Australian parents sane: Bluey on ABC Kids.
Soon a new project was born: weekly activity guides based around Bluey episodes, all of which I’ve archived below. You can read about the project here on Kidspot.
First… a bunch of boring disclaimers:
- These are not formal lesson plans and may not tie into whatever curriculum your child’s school is currently teaching. Rather, these are thematic activities and play prompts meant to inspire.
- You can absolutely adapt these to suit your child(ren)’s age, interests and resources. Consider them jumping-off points to give a bit of structure to your days.
- I acknowledge these may not work for everyone – you may not have access to nature, access to art supplies, these may not support children with unique learning challenges, may not be suited to all abilities. Again, feel free to adapt and use as it suits your family.
- Please don’t come after me, ABC! I obviously don’t hold any claim or copyright of the Bluey characters or brand. My kids and I simply adore the show. I make approximately $0 from this project. I’m just trying to do a small bit to help fellow parents during a challenging time.
Ok, now for the fun stuff!!
