Probably the most popular board game, almost everyone has Monopoly. Top tip here is to keep track of where you've fired on the enemy so you don't end up hitting the same square more than once! Monopoly Just make sure you both have a printed grid so you know what you're shooting then simply read out the reference for the square you want to hit and mark it off. It's interactive, it's fun and it's (almost) easy for all ages. That at least gives you time to plan your winning strategy. Best of all, you can play over a number of days - just leave the board setup with all those pieces in place. Just remember to move the pieces on both boards so you know what's going on. Of course, you can play chess online already, or via any form of messaging, but sitting down to spend some time talking to a distant loved one, both of you with a chess board, will bring you closer together. To something a little calmer, chess is an easy game to play over Zoom. It's really just about getting everyone involved. This works well when you have lots of people in different places, with the host or gamemaster able to send the words through either via a direct message in Zoom (using the Chat function) if people are in different houses, or if you have groups of people in the same place, via their phones. Of course, you can't say what the word is, you need to use your language. To make sure people look different, it's great to have hats, glasses, scarves and other accessories - which is how the Scavenger Hunt comes in (the hunt can be to find a hat, find sunglasses, etc) before making sure that you have all the participants looking slightly different.Īnother fun family board game, Articulate! sees players describing words for others to guess. You'll need someone to control the game, with everyone else being participants. It also works really well with the Scavenger Hunt above and we'll now explain why. Oh yes, if you've got about 20 people, then Zoom is perfect for play Guess Who? You'll have to have access to Gallery view for this to work. It's best if parents stay out of the way - just let Grandma call out the treasures that the grandchildren need to find. The host simply calls out what they need to find, sending the kids running through the house to get what's been asked for - a spoon, something pink, your duvet. You'll need a big group, or lots of kids across a number of different houses, and one person as the host. If you really want to get the kids excited, then scavenger hunts work really well.
