Staying Connected
Staying Connected
During these times, it's hard to stay connected to others while remaining safe. Human connection and relationships have proven to help our mental and physical health, make us happier, and live longer. Below are a few ways we can stay connected:
Schedule regular calls with friends and family like you would schedule a work meeting. If you can, make them video calls, using FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, or other video-calling options.
Have kids connect with other kids around the world. Pen Pal Schools is a great way for kids to meet and connect with someone from another country, learn about their culture, and improve their writing!
Start a text or email chain with friends about good articles to read, videos to watch, podcasts to listen to, songs to listen to, etc.
Play online games with friends using apps, such as Words with Friends.
Start up an impromptu virtual book club with a friend or group of friends, by starting to read the same book together, then check in to discuss it.
Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party) is a new way to watch TV with your friends online. Teleparty synchronizes video playback and adds group chat to Netflix, Disney, Hulu and HBO.
Call or video-chat with friends while taking virtual tours together of museums, national parks, and more from Google Arts & Culture.
Move together: plan walk-and-talk phone conversations for when you walk around your respective neighborhoods, plan to attend the same online workouts, or schedule online dance parties.
Start a recipe exchange with family or friends by email, a shared drive, or Google docs.
Tune in to live-streamed concerts and other events together.
