QUESTIONS FOR SQUIZ KIDS in VICTORIA - 'My Lockdown Life'

Remember to answer in full sentences, with lots of good details! 

1) What was the best part and the worst part of your lockdown day today?

2) What do you miss the most about school? Why? 

3) How are your mum and dad coping in lockdown? And what about your brothers, sisters and grandparents?

4) What's the one thing you think we should all do to beat this coronavirus once and for all?

5) Close your eyes and imagine the one place you'd rather be right now instead of in lockdown ... where is it?

What To Do:

Get a big person in your house to sit down and record the questions and your answers on a smart device (a phone or tablet, for example). Try to do it somewhere quiet! And remember to make sure when you speak, you're nice and close to the microphone! Then email the audio file to squizkids@thesquiz.com.au - and listen all this week to see if you've been featured!
