 There are times to stay at HOME,
there are times to share...

Our childhoods need to

incorporate new daily routines,
they need...

to express their feelings

and continue learning from their
CURIOSITY and their DESIRE TO DO.

Let's take this challenge of caring for ourselves and caring for others...

STAY HOME!

#StayHome 1
 We have to stay home, we cannot go to school or meet
our friends. But there are other possible encounters...

We propose you to make an

“Author's Book”,
about A FRIEND.

Do you know what an

author's book is?

It is a unique book, created

by you for a friend that
you choose.

This game lasts for a week, every day you can

create a page. When you finish it you can show
it to your friend on WhatsApp, Skype, Snapchat.
.

#StayHome 2
 How to play this game

Choose a friend.

Phone him and tell

him that you are
going to make a
book about him.
Once a day, you have to ask him
some questions.

On the last day arrange a virtual call,

to show him the book.
.

WHEN YOU SEE HIM AGAIN, YO CAN GIVE IT

TO HIM AS A PRESENT!

it can be through the cell phone or any other
device. If you live very close, YOU CAN
WATCH him THROUGH A WINDOW OR THE
WAY IT OCCURS to YOU

What is your friend's face like?
You have to look at him very carefully…

What are his eyes like?

What are his eyelashes like?
And His eyebrows?
What is his nose like?
What about his mouth?
What is the shape of his face?
What colour is his hair?
How does he comb it?

Try drawing as many lines as you can! Curve, straight,
fine, continuous, odulated ...

Look how many lines there are in these drawings!
