Let’s Have Some FUN!
Before we get into more serious learning, remember
While you and your Little may be apart, the staff at Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tri-State
wants to provide you with ideas on how you can stay connected. This may be a very lonely, to take a break now and then to just plain
scary time for your Little, and as a Big, you can provide support and keep your relationship
growing. HAVE FUN with some of these cool, FREE sites.
Write letters to your Little
Make personalized cards for your Little
Make your Little a bracelet or a special craft (e.g. drawing, a knitted/crocheted item)
These items can be delivered to your Little when you come back together. While you’re away, send
a picture of the letter/card/craft to your Match Support Specialist and they’ll send an image to the
guardian.
Facetime, Phone Calls, Text Messages
TAKE A VIRTUAL DISNEY RIDE!
Ok, the parks are closed, but that doesn’t mean the young, and the young at heart, can’t enjoy the rides.
Connect through a fun ‘app’ game on your phone/tablet. This could include checkers, chess,
or cards!
