From a Netflix party to exercising together and a virtual tour to the most amazing world landscapes and zoos these activities guarantee a fun time with your buddy!
NETFLIX PARTY
Try out Netflix Party, which lets multiple users watch a TV show or movie at the same time.
A Netflix user can host a "party" by inviting friends or anyone they'd like to watch a TV show or movie with them at the same time. Members of the virtual party can also talk via chat box as a way of sharing commentary throughout the film or episode. Make sure you check with your buddy parent first and make sure the movie you will be watching is appropriate.
EXERCISE TOGETHER
Schedule a time to have a virtual yoga, dance or workout session with your buddy, using FaceTime, Skype or Whatsapp Call. It is as simple as pressing “play” on the same exercise video. You can choose the video in advance and send it to your buddy parent so they can have it ready when you call. Watch each other dance or do yoga together!
A good resource for this is the YMCA, they have made exercises free and accessible online. Click on the links below to watch them:
