Abstract

Long-distance families are increasingly staying connected with free video conferencing tools. However research has highlighted a need for shared activities for long-distance family communication. While video technology is reportedly superior to audio-only tools for children under age 7, the tools themselves are not designed to accommodate children's or families needs. This paper introduces games for intergenerational families to play with young children during a video chat. We build on research in CSCW and child development to create opportunities for silliness and open-ended play between adults and young children. Our goal is to create a space for shared activities that scaffold interaction across distance and generations.
