Staying Connected  

A printable about using technology to stay connected.

Print this page showing a video chat between Rosita and her cousin Flor in Mexico. Help children connect the dots and invite them to color the page. Consider these ideas:  

  • Once they’ve connected the dots, what shape do children see? What does the shape tell them about how Rosita and Flor are feeling?   
  • With each dot, take turns naming loved ones you might like to connect with on a video chat. Choose one and call them!  
  • Send the completed page to a far-away friend or family member with a note.   
  • On your own, think about what you really want for your child when they visit with far-away family. Video chats can be a great way to feel a sense of family belonging and identity, and to stay connected to your family’s culture and language.
