Planning Social Events for Distance Learning Students: NetFlix Party and Goose Chase Apps


Screenshot from Netflix Party App
The Netflix Party App is a Chrome extension that allows you to stream a movie simultaneously via a link. I used this to set up a weekly movie night for my middle school students. It has a live texting chat feature that allows students to safely chat with one another during the movie. I have also been using with my advisory to share videos and lead discussions based on the videos.

Goose Chase is scavenger hunt/challenge game app for phone and tablets. The scavenger hunts are set up on the Goose Chase website.
This can be used for team building, learning challenges, brain break, or a social event. It is free and allows for 3 teams to be set up.
