Video Play date ideas

Shelter-in-Place post

I don’t know about you, but I feel like my kids are getting way too much screen time during this Shelter-in-place. Remote learning requires the computer. Calling relatives involves screen time. Even interacting with friends involves virtual play dates and more screen time.

We have tried a couple different apps with friends (Messenger kids, Houseparty, Marco Polo), but I try to encourage old fashioned games while video chatting with friends.

Here are some of our favorites:
- Uno;  if both families have one at home, you use your own deck and call out what you are playing.
- Battleship (if both families have the game)
- Pictionary or charades
- chess
- dress up/fashion show

What are yours?
