How to Hold a Socially Distanced Playdate for Your Kids  Summer vacation is upon us, and 
that means children will want 
to play with their friends more. Kids can spread coronavirus 
among themselves and then 
bring the virus home. Here are some ways you can ensure 
they have fun and stay safe. 1. Avoid having your kids and 
their friends share food. Let them play after lunch or 
breakfast so they're not hungry. 2. Keep playdates short, with 
30 to 60 minutes being ideal. 3. Have them play outdoors. It is much easier for COVID-19 
to spread if they play inside. 4. Encourage kids 
to play "stay-away games." Have them ride bikes or 
play catch instead of "tag."
