Kahoot

Math Dice Game
A simple and fun game to build math fluency! Kids throw the numbered dice and then the dice dice 😂 and then have to use ±-x / to come up with the sum! Pair this with a sibling and you’ve got some independent play!

Outschool
Easily one of my favorite platforms! Whether you are looking a break from teaching math, or for some extra support with english homework, or just a fun class on knitting K-Pop Demon Hunter dolls, Outschool has your kiddo covered!

Mapology
A fun way to learn about the 50 states! Use the pins to learn about capitals and interesting facts! Pair it with this School Zone Travel Book and you’ve got a pretty fun learning experience. With little to no prep!

Who doesn’t love options! If after checking out Joon, its not quite what you were looking for, try Tiimo! Its a visual calendar specifically designed for neurodiverse learners helping to build routines and independence! Women owned and tried and true!
-
Homeschool
This list was created for the kids who like things the way they like them, learn the way they want to learn, and just want the adults around them to get on board. It was also created for the adults who want to gently stretch their kids, build strong executive skills, and support their kids in expressing their needs while also respecting others who are doing the same.
This isn’t a curriculum, but it’s not just a brain break either. It’s a way to build skills and do a little bit of learning at the same time!
-
Afterschool
This list was also created for the neurodiverse kiddos who’ve been in the classroom most of the day, and come home tired, hungry, and needing a soft and safe space land. They are looking decompress before they can engage, and want a little bit of fun to go with their snack! It’s also for the adults who want their kiddos to be responsible, emotionally aware , and well regulated!
This isn’t homework, but it’s not just filling time either. It’s building new routines with new resources!
