Family Zoom meetings

[FromTheAllotment]

Any tips for organising a Zoom meeting for a family that hates them??

We all want to see each other on Boxing Day, usually we’d be having a huge get together. We haven’t had many Zooms together as we all basically hate them. There’s about 15 of us, ages ranging from 4 to 75.

So far I have:
Send everyone a Christmas hat/hair band to wear on the day
Scavenger hunt (obviously)
Bingo? Send bingo cards in advance?
Poached from the team meeting Zoom thread- get everyone to send me a closeup photo of one eye, then we have to guess who’s who
Get everyone to draw something blindfolded and see who’s is best

I can spend a little bit of cash buying/sending stuff out to everyone.

90% of them are busy/disorganised/grumpy bastards who will refuse to join in with a bakealong or secret Santa or anything which requires them to do anything beforehand. And they won’t really want to join in at all with most stuff tbh 🙄😂 but if I can think up something that doesn’t require any prep on anyone else’s part and isn’t too cringe, then they’ll all go away going “ah well that was really nice after all” 🤣🤣

Suggestions greatly welcomed!!!

a Christmas themed beetle drive, madlibs, emoji pictionary - all to be found on pinterest. real life guess who ie the people of the zoom act as the faces and a couple of people take it in turns to guess. if everyone will be at home with other people then you could do a team minute to win it challenge and send out the stuff they need, again you can find this on pinterest - i did a kids focused one zoom for a family event earlier in the lockdown and it was fun, the kids went a bit crazy which got all the adults involved.
