So here at Pod of One we are always looking for ways for Amelia to get some social time with friends, and we’ve been hearing about a new idea that I personally find intriguing.
It’s the concept of finding a lunch buddy. Since we all get a lunch break, it makes perfect sense to try to find someone in the neighborhood with whom we can coordinate a lunch play date, even if it’s just once per week. This gets the kiddos some social interaction, while it also forces us out of the house and moving around as well.
Our plan is to reach out to our class via out PTO’s website and see if anyone is in our area that can meet at one of the playgrounds for a picnic when the weather is nice. Once winter comes this will be tough, so it’s something we should get on ASAP.
Obviously, the idea would be to social distance the usual six feet, maybe more since we won’t be wearing masks, and eat while we talk about our day. It can also be a great chance to review what was learned.
We are hoping to find someone in her class who has the same lunch hour and who has a parent or guardian working from home who also gets a lunch break, and try to coordinate a meet-up.
I’m always looking for other ways you are all getting some social time, so please, comment below with any new ideas you may have. Thanks for stopping by!
