Where to start when emergency homeschooling?

I've been postponing this post because I didn't know where to start, and then I thought, well, neither does anyone else.  This is a crazy situation, one that no one alive in this country has faced before.

So, for my friend who is stuck at home with a 6yo....
How do you get through these first few days of COVID19 social distancing/shelter in place/quarantine?

Again, ease in to this, and consider this first bit (and maybe all of this) as enrichment rather than "school".  School is boring, enrichment is fun and interesting.

Think about the difference between a routine and a schedule. 

A schedule has a specific time at with specific things need to be done.  It's great when you're trying to coordinate people who have busy lives and other things going on. It keeps you on track and helps you be accountable to other people.  It's not so great when you're in a flow, immersed in an activity and you don't have anywhere else you need to be.

A routine, on the other hand, is a series of actions that you do almost habitually.  Rise, let the dog out, eat, brush your teeth, wash your hands after the using the toilet, etc.  A routine is flexible and also easy to remember because you do what you've always done.

When homeschooling, a routine is much easier to manage than a schedule.  You need a schedule for things like lessons and appointments, stuff outside the home.  You're not going to have those right now, so think instead about how to create functional routines that will meet everyone's needs.

Exercise - build this into your routines, and do something more than once a day
When my boys were young they would often bicker, and when they made me crazy, I'd give them laps to do around the yard.  They always came back united in their resentment towards me, and a little less grumpy, so win/win!

If your child is like mine were at that age the first thing you need to do is to give their physical energy somewhere to go.  Seriously, children (and adults) are much nicer when well exercised.  Hey, and join in if you can

Some ideas:
jump rope
calisthenics
dance party!
trampoline if you have one
jumping on the bed if you don't (bail is way more than a new mattress will be when this is all over)
bike ride
hoola hoop
yoga
video workouts

Google for  indoor exercise for kids, yoga, dance, etc.. you name it, it's out there.
Get onto Facebook and look for  groups that fit your kids interest, during this crisis most gyms are shutting down and many are offering free videos and live stream workouts on their pages.
Pinterest is another place to find ideas.
