Feeling trapped in the house?  Need something to distract and entertain you?

Well we have a couple lists for you, from Quaranstreaming to games & activities for the kids!

Amazon Prime TV Shows & Movies

Amazon Prime offers a ton of content, from TV shows and movies to anime and cartoons to original content.  RadioTimes.com offers their thoughts on the best TV shows and the best movies available.  Please note that content listed may or may not be available in your area, and may or may not be available in your language in your area…

Netflix TV Shows & Movies

So naturally RadioTimes.com also created a list of what to watch on Netflix.  Please note that content listed may or may not be available in your area, and may or may not be available in your language in your area…

New York Times List of Lists

The New York Times has published a list of lists of TV shows & movies.  There are some duplicates from above, but some new ones as well.

Documentaries

If documentaries are more your thing, CuriosityStream and DocumentaryTube offer an amazing collection of documentaries across a wide range of topics.

Opera

Although the New York’s Metropolitan Opera has closed its doors until at least May 31, 2020, beginning March 16, 2020 and lasting through the duration of the closure, they will stream one show every night from their Live in HD series. These shows, originally live broadcasts, will begin at 7:30 PM and can be found on the opera’s website.

Concerts

PBS’s Austin City Limits offers a huge catalog of online concerts.  Everyone is sure to find something they will love!  And this YouTube playlist compiles 247 complete concerts for you.  But if lesser-known bands are your thing, BaebleMusic and Moshcam might be more your speed.

And for our Younger Audience…

Lastly, here are several lists of games and activities to keep the younger ones in our homes entertained, and hopefully burning some of their boundless energy…

We hope these resources provide you and your family with some quality entertainment and activities during this homesteading period.  Be safe!
