Staying Connected in the Age of Social Distancing

As we navigate this new normal of remote work and social distancing, it’s easy to feel burnt out on virtual meetings and crave meaningful connections with friends, family, and colleagues. While Zoom calls will always have their place, it’s time to think outside the box and explore creative ways to stay connected.

The Power of Shared Experiences

One of the simplest ways to feel connected is to share experiences with others. That’s where Netflix Parties come in. This innovative Google Chrome extension allows you to remotely watch Netflix with friends, complete with synced playback and a group chat to discuss the latest plot twists.

Unleash Your Inner Artist

Get creative and tap into your inner Frida Kahlo with a virtual Paint and Sip night. Order paint party kits and supplies, schedule a time to Facetime with friends, and enjoy a fun evening of art, wine, and laughter.

Food for Thought

With restaurants closed, cooking at home has become the new normal. Why not turn meal prep into a social activity? Organize a Recipe Swap with friends and family, where everyone shares their favorite dishes or explores new cuisines together.

Game On!

Virtual game nights are a great way to connect with friends and family who live far away. Jackbox Games offers a range of local multiplayer games that are easy to play and fun for all ages. Simply use a browser and go to Jackbox.tv to get started.

Island Hopping

If you’re lucky enough to have a Nintendo Switch, why not use it to connect with friends who share your love of gaming? Animal Crossing offers local wireless multiplayer options, allowing you to link up to eight systems together for a fun-filled evening of virtual exploration.

Finally, for all you book lovers out there, why not start a By-Mail Book Club? Send your favorite titles to friends and ask them to return the favor. You can even take it a step further by requesting specific genres or sending personalized bookmarks to make the experience extra special.
