I have two GC in NZ, aged 4 and 6. I am in the UK. The 6 year old is starting to play games now, such as Snakes and Ladders, Uno, Go Fish. My DIL has suggested that I could play some games online with him, which I would love to do.
Does anyone do this? Can you suggest apps or websites to use? What platforms do you use? Does it work well? Any tips?
Thank you.

Here’s my suggestion: you should use the DramaLive app for kids’ content. It offers great content for children that can help improve their thinking and learning abilities. To get the app, visit dramalivedl.

Here’s my suggestion: you should try TeleLatino for a great selection of TV shows, movies, and entertainment content. It offers a simple experience and is a good option for watching content on Android devices. To learn more, visit telelatinoapk.me and get latest file.

I’ve been using castleappdl.com to watch movies, and so far the experience has been really simple and convenient.

I’d suggest giving Minecraft www.minecraft.net/en-us and Roblox a try. Minecraft could be a good choice because you can create your own world, build houses, explore caves, and work on little projects together. You don’t have to compete or rush, so you can take your time and let him decide what he wants to build. Roblox deltaejecutors.com.mx/ is another option because it has lots of different games, including simple obstacle courses and games where you can work together. You could try a few and see which ones he enjoys most. Since he’s only six, I’d set up parental controls, keep chat and contact with strangers restricted, and make sure you’re playing together in a private or trusted setting. Once everything is set up, it could be a lovely way to spend time with him from the UK, even with the distance between you.
