Can you come up with a game that families can play together over a video call?
Have you already created a game to play over Zoom, Facetime or Houseparty? Does your game use WORDS, ACTIONS or HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS? Is it something free and fun that gets everyone smiling and laughing?
Is your family up for the challenge of inventing a game like this?
What does your game look like and how will people play?
