三樣我和朋友們在 Zoom 上玩的玩意

過去幾個月,我們可能都用過一個叫 Zoom 的網上會議程式。其實, 你可能未試過在這程式上玩遊戲。以下是三個我和朋友們在 Zoom 上玩過的玩意。

1. 用等候室和分組室來猜誰失蹤了。

我們加入會議時,通常都會先進入等候室。會議主持人也可以把一個人放回等候室。Zoom 還有一部分叫分組室, 你可以用這特徵來把大家分成小組。有一次, 在網上上課時,我們的老師和我們玩這個遊戲。首先, 一個人會被請進一個分組室,這個人就會是偵察。當偵察走了後, 其他參加者選兩個人進入等候室。當這兩個人進入等候室後, 偵察就可以出來猜一猜誰失蹤了。如果偵察在猜三次之内猜中誰失蹤了, 他就贏了。

2. 和朋友們玩 Simon says

我們的地理老師和我們玩這個遊戲。如果當 Simon 的人在司號令前先說 “Simon says”, 所有人都要做號令指定的動作。但如果當 Simon 的人在司號令前沒有說 “Simon says”, 所有人都不能做號令指定的動作。如果參加者在不應做動作時做了, 或者被 Simon 騙倒而做了錯的動作, 他就輸了。有時候,我的老師非常快地說 “says”, 就會騙倒一些人了。

3. 玩海戰遊戲 (Battleship)

在海戰遊戲裏, 兩個人要猜對方的戰艦位置。雖然我們需要兩塊遊戲板(或者是兩張方格紙), 兩塊板並不需要在同一間屋子裏。我和朋友在 Zoom 上嘗試玩海戰遊戲, 我們每人用自己家裏的遊戲版, 效果很好。

希望你也會試試玩一下這些遊戲。祝你玩得開心!

3 Fun things that I did on Zoom with my Friends

Terence Kim

Over the past few months, we have probably all used the virtual meeting program called "Zoom". However, there are some little games that you might have not tried on this program. Here are 3 fun things that I did on Zoom with my friends.

1. Using waiting rooms and "breakout" rooms for guessing who went missing When we join a meeting, we likely go into a waiting room. The host can also put someone back in the waiting room. Then, there is a part of Zoom called "breakout" rooms. You can divide everyone into groups with this. Once during online school, our teachers gave us this game. One person would be separated into a "breakout" room. That person is given the role as "Detective". After the detective is gone, the rest of the participants choose two people to go into the waiting room. When the two people are in the waiting room, the detective would be let back into the regular room and would try and figure out who are missing. If the detective guesses the people who are missing in three tries, he or she wins.

2. Playing "Simon Says" with friends

Our Geography teacher played this with us. When the person who is appointed "Simon" says "Simon says" before a command, the rest of the people must do it. People are not supposed to do an action if "Simon" didn't say "Simon says". If someone does an action where they are not supposed to or if Simon tricks them into doing a wrong action, they are "out". Sometimes, my teacher says "says" very quickly but without the Simon, and it would fool quite a number of people!

3. Playing "Battleship" on Zoom

Battleship is a game where two players have to guess the locations of each other's ships. Even though we need two gameboards (or two pieces of grid paper) to play, the gameboards do not have to be physically in the same house. When my friend and I tried it on Zoom, we used each of our own gameboards and it worked out perfectly.

I hope you will try these three games too. Have fun!
