I know that there are websites for younger kids, and even activity books (I had a tone of them when my girls were little). Any ideas for my teenagers? Our library is closed until April, so I can't get anything that way (not even online, since our assigned library was closed due to a building problem way back when, so we can't utalize the online at the library we go to).
I have a handful of activity books that I keep for travel in the car- sudoku, word searches, crosswords etc. I'm thinking I'll get a few of those out, so they can at least keep their minds active and do something NOT on their phones all day long. Any other ideas or websites for teens?

I teach middle school math. Khan Academy has a ton of videos/topics about just about anything kids might want to learn. I use it for math for kids who need extra practice. Totally free.
Prodigy is another good math related site. It allows me to set up content that goes along with common core standards, but you don't have to use it that way.
There are a lot of sites out there. Our school uses Open Up resources to access the Illustrative Math curriculum... it's all online and completely free.
Other fun sites my students use include these:
Game About Squares
SET puzzles
Digital Breakout
Balance Puzzles
If I come up with any more, I'll let you know.
