Games we can play while isolating?

So 15 and 19 year olds have covid but are fine, but confined to bedrooms to save the rest of us (including grandparents). Any ideas of games we could play on zoom or something? Just to have SOME family time? They tested positive Christmas Eve so it's been a bit rubbish (but lucky that symptoms didn't last long).

I guess we could do charades but that's all I've got really....

Pictionary is quite good using the whiteboard function.

Could you do a quiz? Dp found an "answersmash" style quiz for a zoom meet up before Xmas which went down well.

Good suggestion for Pictionary. No to quiz! DH does one with friends and I get sick of the process of putting it together. But if desperate we might. I get too competitive too.

Drawasaurus is online pictionary and works really well.

Something involving questions/talking like Trivial Pursuits or Articulate would work well too.

Jackbox has some great online games. We really liked drawful.

20 questions
The yes/no game
Scattergories
UNO
Codenames
Also, you could do a collaborative jigsaw

Linkee works well on zoom

Download Psych onto your phones/tablets, it’s really funny and easy to play. You’ll need a device per player.
You can zoom while you play it but it’s not a zoom game iyswim.

Some good suggestions, though there is no need for us to isolate any more as we almost all have it now! Thank you!
