Virtual Meeting best practices for kids


As we are trying to figure out how to continue staying connected during Shelter In Place, I am capturing ideas and suggestions for how to run group meetings for kids (scouts, etc).

What I have learned so far:

  • Start with a game, while waiting for others to join;  Pictionary, scavenger hunt (find something like “this”)
  • Plan on 30-45 min max
  • Include an opening and closing activity/tradition to provide consistency
  • Set expectations on when to on and off mute and when/what to share
  • Have an extra adult as co-presenter that can help with technical coordination (letting people in from waiting room, muting as necessary, watching chat for appropriateness, etc).

Let me know if you have other tips and tricks as we navigate this new reality.
