Running out of things to say? Try these fun video call games as you stay at home

To get your daily dose of social interaction, you have probably been using one of many conference call applications to connect with family and friends. Here are some games to make sure you never get bored on the call.

  • Quiz night

    Love a good trivia session? Then this game is for you. Each person gets to ask a set of questions and the other participants have to write the answer down and show it to the camera. Keep track of your score to find out who wins the game. 

  • What’s on the tray

    For this one, you need a tray with an assortment of random objects on it. Show the tray to the camera for 10 seconds and give your friends 30 seconds to write down what they can remember. The person who remembers the most wins. 

  • Pass-a-long karaoke

    Go through your music playlist before you play this game. One of you starts by singing part of a song and the next person has to switch the tune using the last word of the previous song.

  • Read my lips

    In this game, one player turns off their microphone and says a word or sentence for the other players to guess.

  • Stories in words

    This game takes quite a turn. A person says a word and each participant has to keep adding to it to form a story. You can spice it up by having each person repeat every word said during the previous rounds before adding their own. If you mess up the order or forget a word, you lose. 

  • Charades 

    Old, but gold! Divide yourselves into two teams. Each person gets a chance to act out the title of a film or TV series, while their team tries to figure it out. Don’t forget to set your timers!
