Schools are opening back up but operating differently. Keeping a safe distance can be difficult to visualize and perform especially for schoolchildren who are used to playing around with each other. The social-distancing hat teaches kids about history, proper coronavirus precautions, and creativity. After almost three months off the children were required to create a hat with two long wing-like flaps decorated to their liking prior to return. This concept originates from the Song Dynasty where court officials had to wear similar hats to prevent conspiring during meetings. If the kids’ hats were to touch walking down the hall, they would be reminded to keep their distance.
