The kids are getting antsy and they’re missing their friends. Virtual play dates are becoming quite the norm among family and friends, but it’s always helpful to have some playdate themes in mind to help keep the kids entertained. Download this free virtual playdate printable to keep track of playdates your kids have already had and keep new ideas on hand.
Even though kids can’t get together right now it doesn’t mean they can’t see their friends or family members. Instead, move those play dates to a virtual space like Zoom, Facebook, or Google. Many services are offering free ways to video chat with friends and family outside of facetime and it’s a great way for kids to stay connected when they can’t be together.
