Carry On Oki

Posted on by ourvirtualholiday

You no longer have to go to a Karaoke-specific bar or know someone with fancy equipment.

There are a few things we can thank COVID-19 and Quarantine for, though admittedly, the list is very short. One of those is the mass adoption of online gatherings. All you need now is a few friends or family, a computer with a camera and microphone and then you’re all set to have a fun night of karaoke at home!
If you’re organizing this little shindig around Halloween you might consider having a “Scaryoke” party, complete with costumes holiday themed backgrounds and appropriate song choices. (See list at bottom of page).

You only need 3 things to host a Virtual Karaoke party:

  1. Zoom (or any virtual meeting/party app)
  2. Watch2Gether: create a party room for your guests and as they join, you’ll all see the same screen
  3. A list of friends and family

Set up your party via Zoom and Watch2Gether and send invites to your friends and family.

Best Practices:

  • Have each person submit their songs beforehand and find the karaoke version of the song on YouTube or Vimeo. We have yet to think of a song that doesn’t have a Karaoke track with on-screen lyrics on one of those two platforms
  • After receiving everyone’s songs, create a setlist that keeps the momentum strong. One slow song to every 2 fast-paced songs. Too many slow songs in a row can slow things down too much!
  • To keep everyone engaged, don’t let them know the setlist ahead of time. If you know that you’re performing 4th in line, you may tune out until song #3. But if you don’t’ know when your name may be called, you’ll be engaged and paying attention.
  • Keep it positive! Anyone who has the nerve to sing in front of their friends and family deserves a round of applause!

Society Balls

Posted on by ourvirtualholiday

If a snowball fight is fun then an indoor snowball fight has to be twice as fun. The snowballs are made of materials that are not only soft when they hit you but also won’t destroy valuables and furniture in your home. Winter and all the holidays that come with it are a natural for your family to have an indoor snowball fight but they can also transform any ordinary day into an extraordinary day all year long. Indoor snowball fights can also be a useful tool in the parental arsenal as a fun way to settle, distract from, and calm sibling disputes.
A container or two of indoor snowballs make a great gift but also can be stashed away for rainy day fun.

Father Figure

Posted on by ourvirtualholiday
The next best thing to giving Dad or Granddad a hug is to send him one! This is a fantastic activity for kids and grand-kids and will result in a keepsake that Dad will cherish forever. Imagine his delight when he opens the envelope and sees that the children have designed and colored in an artistic representation of themselves. He can immediately wrap the hug around him and make him feel connected, appreciated and loved.
 
Here are some simple instructions:
Step 1: If you have a roll of art paper, great! Cut off a 5 ft length. If you don’t have a roll of art paper then glue or tape five pieces of plain paper together end-to-end. Then glue one more piece in the center that will stick up from the rest and go under your child’s head.
Step 2: Have your child lie down on the paper with their arms outstretched and trace their arms, hands, fingers and head.
Step 3: Using colored pencils, crayons, or paints have your child create a beautiful image of themselves.
Step 5: Carefully cut out the image around the original trace lines.
Step 6: Accordion fold the arms inward and then fold the head down over the arms. This will leave you with a blank piece facing up where your child can write a greeting about the hug.
