Virtual reunion checklist

Six steps from idea to reunion day

STEP 1

Choose the guest list and two possible dates

Ask each household for its time zone and accessibility needs before selecting the final time.

STEP 2

Pick a simple 60- to 90-minute format

Leave room for greetings, two or three game rounds, a short family story moment, and a clear ending.

STEP 3

Send one reliable joining link

Include a calendar invitation, device guidance, and a contact person for anyone who wants a practice connection.

STEP 4

Gather optional family details

Invite relatives to submit approved memories, traditions, photos, favorite songs, and lighthearted facts.

STEP 5

Assign the hosting job

A dedicated host should explain rules, move the program along, include quieter guests, and handle scoring.

STEP 6

Follow up after the reunion

Share approved photos, answers, or a family trivia keepsake and ask what everyone would enjoy next time.

Designed for real families

Everyone gets to play. Nobody has to host.

The best virtual reunions are shorter, more structured, and easier to join than a normal family video call. Start with the people and date, then add just enough planned activity to keep everyone connected.

Choose one organizer and a clear RSVP deadline

Plan around time zones and older relatives' technology needs

Use structured games to prevent awkward silences

Collect only the stories and photos relatives approve

Games that fit the occasion

A complete show, customized for your group

Family Story Trivia

Turn approved memories and traditions into questions relatives can enjoy together.

Generations Battle

Give every age group a chance with music, culture, sayings, and moments across decades.

Family Survey Showdown

Use playful family prompts that create conversation instead of testing obscure knowledge.

Example question ideas

“Which tradition should never disappear?”
“Which relative has lived in the most places?”
“What should be the theme of the next reunion?”

These are examples, not customer quotes. Your actual questions can be customized using details you approve.

Questions families ask

How long should a virtual family reunion last?

For most families, 60 to 90 minutes is enough for greetings, games, and stories without creating screen fatigue.

How far in advance should we plan?

Four to eight weeks is helpful for larger or international families, although smaller groups can often plan more quickly.

Which video platform should we use?

Use the platform your relatives already understand when possible. Teamtastic can work with major meeting platforms, while the games open in a browser.

Do we need a professional host?

No, but assigning one person to manage instructions, pacing, and participation makes the reunion much easier. Teamtastic can handle that role for you.
