Self isolation ideas for children?s entertainment

Make Your Own Comic Book

If your children are fans of DogMan or The Phoenix serials, and they?re fast running out of funny comic book style reads, then it?s time to make your own! The Cartoon Museum hosts a collection of free online resources to get you started. Children can work on developing their characters with some how-to guides, complete some partially-written spreads, or just dive right in and create their own.?

Whether or not you use the resources, it?s easy peasy to draw six boxes on any piece of paper, and young people can fill them in by drawing their day, one box at a time, to create their own ?Lockdown Chronicles? graphic-novel. Batman-style ?POW? and ?WHAM? starbursts recommended!

A bit late to the party with this one, but no matter. This June, the Wildlife Trust invites us to take part in their annual nature challenge, 30 Days Wild! You just have to do one wild thing a day throughout the whole month: for your health, wellbeing and for the planet. That?s 30 simple, fun and exciting Random Acts of Wildness.


You?ll get a free, downloadable pack of goodies to help you plan your wild month, plus lots of ideas to inspire you to stay wild all throughout June (and beyond!).

The Roustabout Theatre Group have created a zoom specific, family adventure. A brand-new comedy for all the family to watch together!


When friends gather together for an online chat with the ever-grumpy Ben, they find that nothing they can say will cheer him up.


Pinching an idea from Charles Dickens? A Christmas Carol, they decide to dress up as figures from his past, present and future and teach him that, although we may be physically apart, we can still stay connected.


Silly, stirring & inspiring stuff for family audiences. Live online, tomorrow at 4pm. If you miss it, you can still check out a less interactive version on YouTube after tomorrow.

Sometimes it?s nice to do something screen free together. Why don?t you try this free audio game:


The Quest is a story about adventure. After receiving a mysterious call during lockdown, a librarian and her housemates set out on a quest to discover the meaning of adventure. This imaginative audio play offers you a chance to join in with activities to become part of the story. This original story was written especially for 5 to 10 year olds and their family. It features original sound design and music. See more here:

    • There is no Dulwich Square.  It’s a roadblock. 
    • You haven’t answered the question… who has been pressuring the emergency services and how exactly? We all know the answer of course.. no one. As for anyone driving through Dulwich Square without realising that they’re not meant to - well they should t be behind a wheel at all frankly. I have no idea what the ‘far left’ has to do with Dulwich LTN either 😂  
    • Ahh!! Poor snail, isn't nature cruel!
    • But you have to assess whether these persistent drivers are creating more safety issues than diverting emergency vehicles on a longer route and clearly they are not. The fact members of the pro-closure lobby have built their argument on this actually shows how desperate, some would say selfish, they are to have the junction closed and just the way they want it. And unfortunately they seem to have the council over a barrel on something as the council weakly concedes to their position without hesitation. Was this not borne from an FOI that said one of the emergency services confirmed that they had not been consulted on the new DV design that Cllr Leeming then said was actually a mistake by the emergency services - and then it's a case of whether you believe Cllr Leeming or not....and his track record is hardly unblemished when it comes to all things LTNs? Exactly! When the "small vocal minority" was given a mouthpiece that proved it was anything other than small then some have repeatedly tried to discredit the mouthpiece.  The far-left has never been very good at accountability and One Dulwich is forcing our local councillors and council to be accountable to constituents and it wouldn't surprise me if the council are behind a lot of the depositioning activities as One Dulwich is stopping them from getting CPZs rolled out and must be seen as a huge thorn in the side of the idealogical plan they have. Southwark Labour has a long track record of trying to stifle constituents with a view that differs from theirs (see Cllr Leo Pollack for one example) or depositioning anyone trying to represent them (see Cllr Williams during the infamous Cllr Rose "mansplaining" episode. But you know, some think it's One Dulwich that are the greatest threat to local democracy and should not be trusted! 😉
