In addition to the activities in the Rainy Day Packet, here are three more engaging activities to keep your mind sharp and productivity high:

1. Dive into a Good Book: Grab a book that interests you and spend some time reading. Whether it’s a thrilling adventure, a fascinating non-fiction book, or a captivating novel, reading not only improves your comprehension skills but also sparks your imagination. After you finish a book, try writing a short review or discussing it with family to enhance your understanding.
2. Watch Educational Documentaries: Turn on an educational documentary to explore new topics and expand your knowledge. There are countless documentaries on subjects ranging from space exploration to ancient civilizations. This is a great way to learn something new while enjoying an interesting show. Don’t forget to jot down interesting facts or ideas you discover!
3. Challenge Yourself with Puzzles and Brain Games: Engage your mind with puzzles, crosswords, or brain games. These activities are fantastic for developing problem-solving skills and keeping your brain active. You can find puzzle books or online brain games that make learning fun while testing your skills.

While the storms outside may keep you indoors, they also offer a chance to discover new interests and hone your skills. With the Rainy Day Packet from Keys School Manila and these additional at-home activities, you can make the most of your time off from school.
