My mother is in an independent/assisted living facility that is now allowing family/friends to visit out on the patios, following all Covid-19 safety measures of course. We are looking for ideas for games we can play where we don't share/intermingle any pieces. We've played a dice game called Greedy and are planning to add Yahtzee and Boggle. For the dice games, we each have our own set of die, so we don't share. For Boggle, one person can be responsible for shaking the box every turn. Are there any other suggestions? Thank you!

You aren't being ignored, it's just a hard-to-impossible question! I find that dominoes is often good, because older people can see the dots. If there was one nominated mover, it could limit interpersonal touching of the tiles. On the net, there are instructions for many games, from very simple to quite challenging. I played a very very simple 'game' with my 5 year old grandson only a couple of days ago - just letting him find the matching tiles for each end of the string.

If all visiting game players came with masks and then were given latex gloves upon arrival, then much of the contact worry would be eliminated. Covid is mostly passed through our breath in the air, not so much on surfaces. How close everyone sits to each other is the main concern.

How about..
Tossing bean bags into a bucket? Helps maintain hand eye coordination, can be done sitting or standing, You can use different bags for each person. If bags are made of nylon they can be wiped or sprayed after play. Can be played inside or out.
Ring toss. Most rings are plastic so they can be cleaned/sanitized. Can be played inside or out.

Connect-4 is what springs to mind.
