Another idea:
Set up a regular video conference with your kids' cousins, playmates, schoolmates, etc. Here the

By setting a project / demonstration theme for each call, you
generate lots of preparation activity to keep the kids occupied, and they seem to look forward to
the calls. It's working great for us, and I suspect it will continue long after the pandemic is
over.
