If your child’s school is closed due to the coronavirus, these learning activities can help keep them busy while promoting compassion to animals.

As schools across the country close due to COVID-19, TeachKind - PETA’s humane ­­education division -  is encouraging parents to take advantage of their free educational resources.

To help promote compassion for animals, TeachKind provides free online activities, lesson plans, and educational resources for children of all ages. 

“Schools may be closed, but kids’ minds are still wide open, and they can keep on learning how to be good citizens at home, with PETA and TeachKind here to help,” says PETA Director of Student Campaigns and Influence Rachelle Owen. “With our worksheets, writing prompts, videos, and games, students can stay busy and hone their reading and writing skills while learning to have compassion and empathy for others.”

From comprehension exercises, writing prompts, and pronoun posters to comic books, games, and online videos, TeachKind’s resources educate students while helping to build empathy for all beings.

By using TeachKind’s helpful filter, parents can choose the grade - elementary, middle, or high school - and the category - everything from social justice to factory farming - to find the activities and resources suitable for their children.
