The Premier League is continuing its support for families and teachers in lockdown with free, weekly home-learning activities.

Suitable for five to 11-year-olds, the new Premier League Primary Stars Weekly Challenges will have a theme of health and wellbeing and are supported by curriculum-linked resources.

Stay connected

We know that staying connected and speaking to others helps support positive mental health, and for the first of our weekly challenges we are encouraging fans to write a poem that will make someone smile and brighten their day.

Once you have written your poem for a friend, relative or just maybe somebody you have not seen recently, share a picture of it with us on Twitter @PLCommunities using #PLPrimaryStars.

You can watch BBC TV presenter Dan Walker set the challenge in the video above.

For more information on the Stay Connected challenge and other fun free home-learning activities, head to the home learning section on PL Primary Stars.

You can also visit our #StayWell hub for ideas and information on how to support positive mental health.
