As we hit mid-October, the unforgettable year continues to throw a lot at us all! We can almost see the end of the year coming, and with Christmas bells very quietly wisping in the air, we all need a bit of a breather. Here are some more YouTube distractions/comforters to help you along this week.
Want to visit the great theme parks of the USA but are COVID-stuck!?! The Undercover Tourist provides great high-quality videos of rides, locations, and seasonal decorations from Disney World, Universal Studios, and Hollywood. While they are not the same as the real thing, I found myself with a smile and a bit of an uplift in mood visiting this channel.
Who doesn’t love a movie soundtrack!? Their power to soothe, lift, scare, and grief with us can create a lifetime of memory. Check out Ambient Worlds. They have taken the soundtracks from all of our favourite movies to produce hours of background music, as well as music that fits for seasons, occasions, and moods. I often have them playing while I work, read, or am scrolling through my phone.
Ted-Ed and their Riddles. I know I have shared this channel before, but there is so much to it! One of their richer sub-sources is all the riddles that they have animated and published. I know some of you may find these more frustrating than fun, but they are definitely worth a look and have definite uses in our ministry. One of my favourites is the Infinity Hotel Paradox!
Enjoy these virtual experiences!
