Become a #MetKid

Explore the Metropolitan Museum of Art from home - become a Met Kid. The program is designed for kids 7-12 and features behind-the-scenes videos, an art-themed time machines and project ideas.

Preview Lessons. Skim through your munchkin’s lesson plan and make sure you understand what’s expected of him/her. Clarify any confusion with your teacher.

Prepare Materials. Print worksheet & handouts ahead of time. Make sure you have all necessary materials (markers, scissors, rulers, etc)

Plan Activities outside of the House. Look for safe “after-school” activities that will get your munchkin moving. Some of our favorites include gymnastics, swim lessons, baseball, soccer and tennis.

Consider Social Learning Opportunities. We all learn better with interaction. Ask your school about an older student who can mentor or tutor your child. Or set up weekly virtual homework clubs.

Build In Reading Time. Try to calendar in 20-30 minutes a day of quiet reading time for your munchkin. Check out our sister site for book recommendations for kids 0-10, organized by age & subject.
