Family games to play on Zoom?

[UntamedWisteria]

As our extended family can't all be together on Xmas day I wondered if anyone has any good ideas of a Zoom game we can play together during the day.

We will range in age from 11 to 85, and will be in two separate households of 6 people each.

Please share your top tips, what's worked well so far?

I was wondering too, but as DMum is rather deaf I don't think we'll be able to do this.

Our family favourite Christmas game is Articulate and I think that would work over a video call

one thing that worked well for us during the initial lockdown was a quiz. Each household had to prepare a round on a specific theme so that there wasn't too much overlap of questions. You had a choice of doing 5 questions each worth 1 point, or 10 questions worth half a point each.

We stuck mostly to trivia questions, but 'spot the intro' also worked well, as did picture rounds (we managed this in a few different ways. Screen sharing or posting to our whatsapp group worked best).

We are going to do bingo. I’ve given my parents a book of tickets and some dabbers. We have some tickets and dabbers as well and we have a bingo thing (not sure what it’s called ).

I got sent this link in an email from brownies about a free version of articulate to be played remotely. Not used it myself so fingers crossed that it works www.drumondpark.com/articulate_cards

Twister

Scattergories can also be played well over zoom - google it and there's a website that generates the letter and categories for you - one person shares their screen so everyone can see it on their individual devices.

Play Kahoot! Works well for all ages

We did Articulate over Zoom at work last week, went pretty well I thought!
