In Spring 2020 millions of students were not in school or on playgrounds as people stay home during the Covid-19 pandemic. Disruptions of our usual daily routines meant we were doing and using things differently. This activity invites you to think about how objects in your life have new uses and meanings–in a time of COVID and beyond! For example, in spring 2020 people put stuffed bears in their windows to greet people passing by.

Now, what objects are you using differently? How has their meaning changed?
