- Join with your team online whilst you all cook and eat a meal
- Make up a story whilst connected online, each person adding a sentence in turn (Could be typed or spoken- make up your own rules!)
- Draw a map of your location & surroundings- can you include your team mates’ locations? Can you figure out where North is?
- Do a volunteer type activity, for example phone somebody you know who would appreciate some conversation
- Learn a new skill, for example do you know how to fix a bicycle puncture, or iron a shirt?
- Do a physical exercise you haven’t tried before- eg how many sit ups can you do? Or search online for an exercise class here’s an example
- Do a Youth Scotland Hi 5 Award
- Set a treasure hunt for your family around the house and or garden
- Practise your first aid on a member of your family- would you be able to teach someone how to use a triangular bandage, or put someone in the Recovery Position?
- Will you have a good view of the sky at night? Can you identify constellations, planets & stars? What phase will the moon be in on 3rd July- when will it rise & set? You can find lots of information online, or install a smartphone app like Sky Map

- Make a scrapbook of your DofE experiences
