As the Emiratis adjust to their new normal of social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak, social activities have moved from "IRL to URL" and something it’s given rise to is online learning, exercises and interactive activities. Children's online classes are booming now – and it's easy to see why. First of all, while much of the day we are cooped up inside trying to work from home and support our children's school work, they may need more encouragement and communication. Secondly, there is little expectation that parents are able to replace professional teachers or coaches. A selection of online learning programmes covering various subjects and age groups has never been more welcome in Abu Dhabi. Here, TickiKids picks out the best online children's classes, so it’s the perfect time to get active, inspired and challenged, or maybe even learn a new skill from the comfort of your sofa.
