Fun Things to Do on FaceTime With Your Partner
What can couples do together on FaceTime?
Couples can make video calls more fun by adding a shared activity. On tired nights, cook the same recipe, watch a show in sync, or just fall asleep on call. For more energy, play online games, take a quiz together, try a virtual museum tour, or answer a set of questions you both haven't asked before.
Updated:
Video calls can start to feel like the same check in every night. That is normal when you talk a lot. A little structure, like a game or a shared task, gives the call a reason and makes the time fly.
Use this list as a menu. Save a few ideas for nights when you are tired and a few for nights when you want something special.

- Fold laundry together and chat while you work

Frequently asked questions
What do you do on FaceTime with your boyfriend or girlfriend?
Mix easy activities like eating together or watching a show with games and questions. Planning a special themed night every week or two keeps calls from feeling repetitive.
How do you keep video calls from getting boring?
Give some calls a small activity or theme. A game, a shared meal or a list of fresh questions gives you something new to react to.
How long should a FaceTime call be?
Whatever feels good for both of you. A short call with full attention can feel better than a long one where you are both distracted.
