[quote=Anonymous]We play tic-tac-toe (child drawing on the white board so I can see), hangman, charades, Pictionary, boggle (2nd grade and up), break the ice and bee tree (child does all actions, I just tell them which one on my turn), memory (child flips my choices as directed), etc.  Younger kids feel important because they have the games there and they’re helping me because I can’t.  We also do rhyming, songs, dancing, math stories (with toys as concrete help), phonics, colors, shapes and patterns.  There are something’s I can’t do from a distance (science experiments and new movement games!), but most of the rest is possible, as long as they already have the supplies.  It does involve kids being more responsible and/or having parent set up and clean up, and attention spans are shorter for less desirable games, but it is workable.  (The larger the screen for a young child, the better it is, because they don’t understand that the camera is the same size regardless of how big my face is.)[/quote]
