Make a collage of the people and things that you’re most thankful for and use it as your virtual background. Do a family walkthrough of the objects of gratitude, sharing the stories of what and who they are, and why you’re grateful for them! You can make one digitally or you can use photos, construction paper, and markers to make one that you can hold on to. I made a digital one!
2. Centerpiece Competition

Collaborate with the fam to collect old photos and turn them into a slideshow. Use the screen-sharing feature to take a fun-filled stroll down “It Was Trendy At The Time” Lane and share the stories behind these now iconic moments.
5. Play A Game
The whole family can play a game together! Games like “Apples to Apples,” “Trivial Pursuit,” and “Codenames” are super easy to adapt to Zoom. Another good option is the Jackbox games, which are designed so that everyone can play along using their phones no matter where they are.
