Hi there,
My in-laws are having a very hard time accepting that they are going to be home alone over Pesach. I don't blame them!
I know that a lot of other 60+ couples are in the same boat. So I am looking for ideas that I can share with them - anything that they can do to make yom tov more special when it's just the two of them? Ideas for how to pass time on Yom tov when they cant call anyone on the phone?
An extra challenge is that my mil can't read too much because she gets dizzy, so books etc are out.
Any and all ideas are welcome!
May Hashem keep us all safe and bring Moshiach now!

Could they sing together? Maybe learn new songs online before chag to increase the options? Take out the photo albums and reminisce? Board games? Puzzles?

Maybe they can play a game using Pesach questions
There are websites with many that can be printed out from before

Would large print books help? Maybe an organization for the visually impaired would know of resources that would loan out books.

As I'm getting older, I'm finding small print to be harder and harder to read.
