Socialising with school run acquaintances

I’m a bit embarrassed to ask this, but I’m wondering what other people are doing to “meet up” online with groups of people you don’t know so well. Have you found a format that works? I.e an online wine tasting (looks a bit pricey) or game?

I love chatting to people but since we’ve moved out of London and had children, the people I’m friendly with I know from the school run, playgroups, swimming etc. I’ll enjoy talking to them weekly, in normal (pre-covid) times but I haven’t established the sort of level of friendship yet when I can just call them for a chat. In fact, I’ve never had an uninterrupted child-free chat with them.

I really miss socialising. I’m a true extrovert in that I get my energy from speaking to others and I’m feeling a bit sad without it. I’d love to try and suggest a sort of online “evening out” to some of the school mums but think it might need a sort of activity to unite people. Any ideas?
