When you are in quarantine, you have the feeling that the days last for eternity.
Do you know someone who is at home and for whom the hours crawl by? Video call him or her. Seeing each other (instead of just hearing or reading) is fun.
But be sympathetic when your sick friend prefers to put his or her camera in reverse instead of showing his pale face and dreary look. However, he or she will love to see your face!
Tip for today
Video call with a sick friend or a friend in quarantine.
If you’re suffering from a Zoom burnout, you probably say “please not another video call!
That means it’s time to make your calls more pleasant!
Fun things you can do during your video call
- Play a game (board game, word game, guessing game….)
- I spy, I spy in your home (film some rooms and ask your friend to look for a particular item that you put somewhere)
- Show and tell (take each an object and tell its story: how you got it, where, why, what is so special about it, …)
- Read a book out loud
- Cook together
People are getting more and more creative:
You certainly know already you can make your video chat more interesting by zany backgrounds and beauty filters. But now one more trend is starting to emerge: adding a farm animal to your call.
Peace N Peas Farm, is letting Mambo, a mini donkey, dial into your Zoom conference calls for 10 minutes at a rate of $50. Customers can also rent Eddie the horse, ducks and chickens.
People are so surprised to see a funny horse or donkey whey they expect to participate in yet another boring meeting!
