CONNECT, CREATE AND PLAY: AGES 8+

A NEW EIGHT WEEK ONLINE INTERACTIVE PROGRAMME FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.

National Theatre of Scotland in association with leading children’s arts organisations Starcatchers and Imaginate connects with families at home during the COVID-19 crisis.

Play Dates is a fun digital programme of interactive and entertaining workshops and activities for children and young people, plus their parents and carers, created by some of Scotland’s leading creative practitioners and freelance artists.

From Tuesday to Friday over the next eight weeks, a new Play Dates workshop will be released every day on our website and on our social media channels, for online audiences to access, take part in and enjoy. All the activities will be free.

Connect, Create and Play is a series of videos by theatre artist Fraser MacLeod with games and exercises to do at home and suggestions on how to connect with friends online and have fun together, through platforms such as Skype, Zoom WhatsApp and Facetime. This series looks at how to get your voice working, creating your own unique tongue twister, playing games online with friends and family and how to create stories and share them by making your own stop motion movie.
