Fun Games To Play Virtually With Family and Friends!

2020 has been an unprecedented year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Thanksgiving will be different due to not being able to spend time in person with extended family and friends.  The good news is that there’s still a way to have fun with your loved ones virtually over the Thanksgiving break.  We compiled a list of some of our favorite games that you can play online while using platforms such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, or Facebook Messenger Rooms.
