Recorded Play & Learn Sessions

UBC is bringing guided play and learning to your living room! We are offering your family FREE live streamed activity sessions on a variety of topics: art, science, nutrition, drama, wellness, enrichment and more. Sessions are accessible through a smartphone, tablet or laptop, and are designed for children to be able to participate without hands-on involvement from parents/guardians. We know caregivers could use a break!

We have split our guided activities into two broad age categories: ages 6-8 and 9-12. Some sessions will require children to gather materials with the help of their caregivers ahead of the live streamed session (ex. a notebook and pencil, bath towel, balloon, crayons or felt pens, paper clips, etc.). If materials are required, they will be clearly listed in the calendar description below.

At Home with Kids

With children and caregivers living, working and playing in shared spaces, all family members are learning to interact and relate a little differently! Here are our tips for ensuring everyone’s wellbeing:
