Social Distancing Heroes

 What do you do to social distance and keep others safe?

Listen to this song. Do you do anything similar to them? Do you do something different?

Maybe you could create your own actions to go with the song!

When You Can't Do What You Do, You Do What You Can

 Sometimes we can not do what we want because things are happening, like the COVID-19 pandemic. Bon Jovi, a classic rock singer, have composed a song about that and about the strength we need to adapt to new situations. 

Is there anything you would like to do but you can't? What can you do instead?
