Dr. Tam, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, has called this Easter Weekend a “Staycation for the Nation”. And not in the typical sense. This isn’t the time to play tourist in your own town, but rather, I suppose, tourist in your own home.

AT HOME, folks have been enjoying spending more time together, many playing games. Even individuals who live alone have found unique ways to play games with others virtually. In fact, playing games over video chat is a great way for all people to spend time with those they are physically distanced from. We've even heard some great stories of families having board/card game tournaments with other family members (down the street and across the country!). For example, Yahtzee, Pictionary, Battleship, Farkle, Guess Who etc. are all ideal to play with friends and family members across video chat programs such as FaceTime or Zoom.  So whether you're gathered with your family around the kitchen table, or you're playing across screens, here are a few of our top games.

About 'At Home With Nyrose & Associates'

Since mid-March, we’ve been called upon to Stay Home in an effort to help flatten, or plank, the curve and keep our hospitals from becoming over-run. And, we're doing a good job. 

Collectively, our community has been decorating our homes in hearts and messages that offer hope and support (visit whiteheartproject.com to send messages to healthcare workers and to download a heart template for your own home), children have been making beautiful chalk drawings on their driveways and sidewalks, people have dusted off the board games and puzzles, and have been tackling DIY house projects. Most are spending more time at home than ever before.

Here at Nyrose & Associates, HOME is our specialty. That's why we’re creating a series of tips and ideas to help you AT HOME.
