With the outbreak of COVID-19, life has come to a standstill. People around the world are stuck at home due to the lockdown. They are not able to meet their friends and loved ones, which is taking a toll on their physical and mental health. In a situation like this, video calls are the best ways to beat the boredom and stay connected with your loved ones digitally.
Here’s how you can make the most of video calls and have fun with your dear ones even when they are miles apart.
Check on your friends and family
Make a schedule. Have a video call with your friends and family every day. Staying connected will help you get regular updates from them. Seeing your loved ones every day and knowing that they are doing fine during such challenging times will be a huge relief.
Learn something new
There are many hobby classes available on video calls- beautician on-call, fitness on-call, dance class on-call, cooking class on-call, etc. You can learn something new through video calls itself without stepping out of your home.
Party with friends
If you miss going out for drinks with your friends on weekends, then we have a fantastic plan for you. Get all your friends on a conference video call and party together yet apart. Keep your drinks and snacks ready and cheers over the call. It’ll be like having fun together while maintaining social distancing.
Plan a game night
There are plenty of fun games that you can play together with your buddies over video conference calls, like tambola, house party, pictionary, play heads up, jackbox, and harry potter virtual locations tour. It is another great way to catch up with friends and stay in touch.
Have a jam session
Invite friends and loved ones on a video call and play songs of their choices or jam it out with them. It is a great way to show off your singing talent among your friends and have fun.
Cook/Bake together
If you live away from home, why not cook or bake together with your mom over a video call. You could try your favourite recipe step by step that your mom always makes for you whenever you go back home. It will be like a virtual cooking date with your mom.
Recite poems & stories
It is a great idea for grandparents to connect with their grandkids during the lockdown. They can grab a children’s storybook and have a fun story time with grandkids over a video call. Or they can just share a story about family members to cherish memories.
