In order to have fun nights with friends or family, some games are needed. Skype itself does not provide any games, but many party classics can also be played on the webcam-do you want to give an example? Here are some game ideas for a Skype Party with friends or family:

• City, country, river: Each participant only needs a pen and a piece of paper. To do this, he draws a table with three columns [city, country, river]. Or, now one player speaks the letter softly and the other stops. Now, every player must write down a city, a country, and a river as soon as possible, starting with the letter that asked to stop. If you are the first person to complete, call Stop and read your terms. If they win a round and get points. Otherwise, you can continue to guess. Play with an unlimited number of participants.
• man: The game master came up with a word. For each letter of the word, draw a line on the paper. Now players take turns guessing which letters appear in words. If a letter is correctly guessed, it will be entered in the appropriate place. Otherwise, the game manager will start painting the hangman. He can add a dash to each failed attempt. If the hanging is done before guessing the word, then the game master wins.
• who am I Every player can imagine themselves in the game. Now other players can ask you questions that must be answered "yes" or "no"-until one player guesses the person you thought of. Now proceed with the next player.
• Packing box: Kids games can also make you happy at Skype parties. Players begin with "I pack and carry …". Each player then adds an item to the suitcase. The following players must list all items already in the suitcase and add another one. Whoever forgets first loses.
