Mama Zoom

[Sergei Chime]

Withquarantine under way for much of the world, I thought I would come up with some fun games to play over Zoom or FaceTime. Grandparents, friends and family members are looking for ways to still stay connected. People are getting creative.

The classic game of Pictionary can be played over Zoom or FaceTime. You will just need to set up your phone or camera so the person or the team on the other end can see your drawings. See how we set up Boggle below for one idea. You can also do it on an easel white board.

Cross our words you have in common and then add up the unique words you get. For words of 4 or fewer letters, 1 point is awarded. 5-letter words are worth 2 points, 6-letter words are worth 3 points, 7-letter words are worth 5 points, and words longer than 7 letters are worth 11 points.

Things is a funny game that is best played in a group zoom. The game made is for 4-15 people. The caller, which can rotate if you are creative enough to come up with your own Things prompts, starts by proposing a prompt such as:

Taboo is another fun game to play on Facebook or Zoom. This is a game where one person is trying to get the other team to guess their word, but there are certain words that person must avoid using while giving clues.

Jackbox is a game platform we played with friends prior to this whole quarantine thing. They have loads of different party games to play virtually with friends. They are NOT typical video games. They are board-style games adapted for virtual play.

You would have two players at a time and other people are the characters and get to observe the process. The players would need to write down one person in the room they are choosing to be their person. Then, the other player asks questions to narrow down who the other person chose.

Trivia is fun to play with friends, and you can find all you need at Random Trivia Generator for free. Simply share the screen. Have people write down their answers and reveal at the same time. Then, reveal the answer. Keep score as you play.

After you read: Ask, What is it that this boy and his mama use to zoom all around? Why is the wheelchair a fun thing to zoom in? What do you think happened after daddy left them at the top of the very steep hill? How does this remind you of what happened to Samantha in Samantha on a Roll?
