PRISME 7, THE FREE VIDEO GAME OF THE CENTER POMPIDOU ? FROM 12 YEARS OLD

The Centre Pompidou  launches its first video game available for free on mobile (IOS/Android) and computer (PC/Mac). It is a playful and very poetic immersion in art that allows you to approach art without any complex, alone or with your family.
This video game allows you to discover the major works of the museum and the principles of artistic creation. Prime 7 has 7 different levels of play that give players the opportunity to evolve among forty major works of the museum of modern and contemporary art; of Miro, the 'Harlequin' of Picasso to Mondrian, etc."

BAAM! ART IN THE SPINACH? FOR EVERYONE FROM 9 YEARS OLD

"Baam! de l'art dans les épinards", we love not only the title, but also everything in this program proposed by France TV. Playful and very intelligent, Baam! presents in 5 minutes a major painting of the history of art. It links it to its historical context and to an artistic movement. It is very lively and well documented. We advise adults to watch it as well, in order to shine at your next (post-confinement!) dinners.
The topics covered are very varied:

• the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci
• Manet and his painting "The Balcony
• the Sistine Madonna by Rafaello Sanzio
• the portraits of Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun
• Grant Wood Pioneers
• etc ...

• by genre or decade

ANTI-FOOD WASTE: what about expiration dates!

In this period of confinement and sometimes of food restriction with the stores not always very well stocked, this article of the site Nutrition, makes a summary of the foods which we can consume after the expiration date. Useful when we have to restrict our outings to do our food shopping.

A QUICK, EASY AND ECONOMICAL CHILDHOOD DESSERT: EGGS IN MILK

• For 6 to 8 people
• 1/2 l milk
• 3 eggs
• 75 gr of sugar
• Flavor (1 teaspoon of liquid vanilla or 1 packet of vanilla sugar)
• Cooking time: about 25 minutes in a bain marie
• Preheat the oven (th. 6 or 180°) . Boil the milk with the sugar. In a bowl, beat the whole eggs. Pour the boiling milk little by little, stirring well. Add the perfume. Pour into a porcelain dish or ramekins and put the dish (or ramekins) in a hot water bath. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes (as soon as the top begins to take color). Between 6 and 8 individual ramekins for 1/2l of milk.

Little ideas to get organized at home

• Early childhood experts advise us to structure children's day with a timetable - to be respected as much as possible - (more complicated to set up with toddlers)
• We are living in an exceptional and unprecedented situation: suggest to your children and teenagers to keep a small diary or journal. This will be a great writing exercise and an opportunity for them to express how they feel about being confined to their homes.
• Make a chart with activities and tasks to be divided between parents and children. With a little luck (let's remain optimistic), this will continue after...
• Let's support independent booksellers (which have been undermined by the Coronavirus crisis) by ordering our books from sites such as lalibrairie.com

A great podcast for kids "The Odyssey" (7 to 12 years old)

It was conceived and produced by Laure Grandbesançon (radio columnist and producer). Each podcast lasts between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the theme. Some of them are related to school programs. A playful way to make them revise their classics.

Some of the themes among the 25 Podcasts offered to children:

• The discovery of the Lascaux cave
• the life of Socrates
• Merlin and the creation of the round table
• Investigation of the man in the iron mask
• Investigating the Loch Ness Monster

A nice series to watch with pre-teens

• From 12/13 years old
• 30 episodes / 3 seasons on Netflix

And one passes to the oven 10 to 15mn max. to 220° (preferably heat turnable)
