7 ways to be cool grandparents in the distance

Video calls to self-isolation with the same type of questions (“What did you eat today?”, “How to study?”) Actually weigh not only the children, but also the adults themselves. But many grandparents have not yet come up with other ways to communicate with their beloved grandchildren through an unusual zoom, facetime, or video chat in a social network. But we did it for (and for) them.

1. Graphic dictations

“Two cells down, three cells to the right, one cell up ...” - remember these tasks from kindergarten? You draw dictated by cells, and then you get a figure like a butterfly or a snake. Such dictations are still great for preschoolers. In addition, you can arrange them as an exciting game of school. Find examples of dictations on the Internet, ask your child to prepare a notebook in a cage, a ruler, an eraser and a pencil in advance, set the exact time of the lesson, figure out how to portray the call, and become the first online teacher to be a grandson. In the first lessons, the child may need the help of one of the parents, and then - if the person takes over the process - every day he will be happy to wait for a call to the lesson. And collect fives.

2. Bedtime Story

Everyone seems to have mastered reading to children on the air without us. The next level is recording your own audio tale. Prepare in advance: select a work, re-read it several times, place the accents you need on the pages, rehearse the dialogs and remarks of the characters - let them sound and come to life in your performance. Record the tale with an audio file (if the book is long, you can write down the chapter a day) and send it to the parents of the grandchildren. They will be grateful and even happy to delegate a ritual with a bedtime story to their grandparents.

3. "When I was little ..."

Children love to listen to adult stories about their own childhood. Only in ordinary life, in running around between a garden, school, mugs, cooking lunch and walking, do we have no time to remember all this. And the children have no time to listen. But now is a great time to take apart family photo archives, to remember something and even make some notes. And then, during the next video call with the child, pushing off from some of his current stories, tell yours about parents, about school, about friendship, about first love. We won’t be surprised, by the way, if adults at these moments also quit their business and sit down to listen to you.

4. Tea party

This thing is better to assign for the weekend, when the child’s parents are not working and can help. Arrange in advance that, for example, on Saturday at 12 noon you bake charlotte together in your child (or maybe it will be some kind of your company cupcake?) Online. Parents can help prepare the ingredients in advance and be picked up in the process, and then you all will have tea together and chat via video link. I wonder whose cake is tastier?

5. Interview

You can play the role of a celebrity, and the child - to be a journalist, or vice versa - it does not matter. The main rule of this game is that one of its participants asks interesting questions, and the other answers as detailed as possible. It is better to prepare for the game in advance. For example, you can come up with a child about your future interview (school, home, friendship, etc.), ask him to decide what he wants to know from you on this topic, and prepare questions. And if he will be the speaker, simply suggest that you prepare well for the conversation, think about a topic that you will agree on in advance. By the way, now we also take absolutely all interviews online, so your situation will be as close to reality as possible.

6. Word games

The simplest one is to make small words in turn from a long one, but you can play in a variety of burim, for example, to improvise with rhymes. Compose one line at a time in a poem and do not forget to write it down. When your ode, elegy or poem is finished, be sure to read it aloud. And be sure to save: in a few years, re-reading this isolation lyrics will (hopefully!) Be even funnier.

BONUS: letters "Open when ..."

This story is not about video chat, but also about love and warmth in spite of distances. If one of the grandson’s parents comes to visit you at least once in a couple of weeks (for example, brings food), you can give him a pack of letters written in advance and fun.
On each letter, note some important milestones in the coming weeks: important dates for your family, weather events (sunny day, rain), possible moods of the child (sadness, laziness, etc.). And for each such occasion write a separate short message with some kind words or pictures.

Parents can immediately give the whole packet to an older child with an agreement to open each letter only when the moment indicated on the envelope arrives. And for the printing of letters for younger grandchildren, it is better to assign parents as responsible.
