Zoom games are an excellent family selfcare tool! Directions: Several students will be selected and asked to cover their eyes. The “game master” shares a picture and asked the other zoom participants to act out what they see on the screen. NOTE: This picture can be drawn on paper, it does not have to be a screen share. The students who covered their eyes, now get a chance to guess. Have fun!
