6. Organize a virtual game night with another family! Perhaps a game of charades, trivia or pictionary.
7. Video competitions with a few other families. Each family puts together a music video or lip sync video. Share your creation and get together over GoogleHangouts or Skype to vote on the best one!
8. Guess that ice-cream flavor! Pick up some unique flavors of ice-cream. Have the kids sample each option and guess the flavor.
9. Virtual Book Club: Read or listen to a book together as a family. Get a few other families to do the same and meet virtually to discuss the book.
10. Have a talent show. Record it and share with your family and friends to brighten their day!
