Just that really
We don’t have many board games, so will need to think creatively
Perhaps using TV screen with its chrome cast function (allowing us to connect YouTube on there)?
Currently all in our own separate worlds of computers and phones...need to do something to try to bring us together a bit

We’ve split the weeks

So card games Tuesday - we play for pennies
Thursday is board games
Friday we have music and dancing
Saturday is movie night

They sell in and do school work in the afternoons and we make sure we all have 15 mins in the sun

Mine have had fun playing Heads Up. We've played it at family parties before. It's a free description game App.
