Welcome to post #47 of Club at Home! Every day, we share content that brings Club programs, traditions, and staff into the homes of members. Our goal is to provide the same fun and educational activities to our Club members and families, even while Clubs are physically closed.
Today, we check in with staff from our Clubs who share different activities for members across all age groups, including chalk paint, LEGOs, the Nashville Number System, Theatre Thursday, Pokémon, SumoPaint, and DIY speakers.

Welcome back to Theatre Thursday! Performing Arts Duo Virvioly and Brea introduce the Whisper Challenge using musical lyrics and titles. Grab a family member to play. One of you will put on headphones that play loud music, and the other whispers words that are written on a card. Use Virvioly and Brea’s topics or create your own!
