https://padlet.com/remotebuddieshchs/remotebuddiescommunityboard Volunteers of the Remote Buddies Program can contribute any helpful resources and ideas that they have uncovered during their meetings with their buddy. This can range from fun online games to play, good books to read for a story time, or a craft you tried and both enjoyed. This way, other volunteers can learn from your good ideas and implement them in their meetings with their buddy to make the meetings more fulfilling and enriching. en-us 2020-09-12 01:00:01 UTC 2025-10-11 14:03:48 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/remotebuddieshchs/remotebuddiescommunityboard/wish/750098669 both of my buddies loved this game and you can customize the words if you have a younger buddy or vocabulary to study!

this game may take a little bit more explaining but you generate a letter and then come up with a word that starts with the letter in a bunch of different categories. this is definitely better with an older buddy. ]]> 2020-09-16 01:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/remotebuddieshchs/remotebuddiescommunityboard/wish/750105362 https://padlet.com/remotebuddieshchs/remotebuddiescommunityboard/wish/750110669 this is similar to origami but make a few different patterns of paper airplanes and fly them to test which one works best! i used a video that had a few different patterns from an online craft fair but i’m sorry to say i don’t remember the link for everyone! youtube works great though. ]]> 2020-09-16 01:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/remotebuddieshchs/remotebuddiescommunityboard/wish/750110669 https://padlet.com/remotebuddieshchs/remotebuddiescommunityboard/wish/750201810 With your buddy, decide on a color and look for random things in each of your houses that are that color. Whoever can find the most items of that color in 30 seconds (or any amount of time) wins! I played this with my 6 year old buddy and he absolutely loved running around his house and looking for items! just make sure to remind your buddy to put the items back where they found it after each round (we don't want any angry parents).

This is a great link to use if your buddie wants help with vocab. They have different worksheets and lists for every grade. When I meet with my buddie I share my screen of the 2nd grade list and highlight words for him to say out loud and use in a sentences -Ariana Dahi :)

The presentation includes a chart, definition of even and odd numbers, the knuckle method, dividing by 2 (w/ circles as visual examples) and practice problems. I had to break the presentation up into a few sessions (the presentation is split up into 3 parts) — useful if the parent wants more academic aspects to the meetings

This presentation is a little more challenging as the numbers are a bit bigger. Try breaking the presentation up (me and my mentee split the session into half learning//education and half storytelling//games like roblox lol) and being patient. Encourage practice and breaking up the steps. Includes adding 3 digits numbers but no “carrying over”. 
Have fun with it!

In case of presentations from future events, I will also post those here for anyone’s future reference :D

P.S. The Kahoot at the end of the presentation is no longer active (only valid during the event) but were simple questions based on the videos.
