Scattergoriesįor the first few months of quarantine, a group of my friends played Scattergories every Saturday. Here are some suggestions for games to play together with a wider group of friends while social distancing: 1. Larger groups of friends can still hang out and crack jokes together over Zoom - it just takes a little more creativity and structure to get the dynamic rolling.
Yet, in times when I’ve really needed more human connection, organizing games and activities over Zoom has been a nice alternative. Many times, everyone just looks at each other, not knowing when to speak next in fear of interrupting someone. Zoom has been a very helpful tool to connect, but with bigger groups, it is easy for the call to get chaotic and full of awkward silences. One of the things I’ve missed most in the pandemic is being in the company of larger groups of friends.
