The idea

During the first lockdown in the UK I had used video chat apps to help keep my young kids in touch with family and friends.

It doesn't always work well though, without some structure young kids (and those with additional needs) tend to spend more time watching themselves pulling funny faces than actually talking.

We started playing simple games like Tic Tac Toe or Connect 4 - but this isn't easy, you need to add some ABC/123 grid system onto the 'board' and a tripod or mount to keep everything positioned so the other side can see the game and the player and then 'minion will knock everything about.

There has to be a better way I thought...
