PERSONAL ZOOM MEETING WITH SINTERKLAAS
To make Sinterklaas happy, Communication Piet came up with a great idea! Sinterklaas could meet the children through virtual visits. ‘YES!’ Sinterklaas thought, and immediately assigned a special ZOOM Piet to make it all happen. Families can have a personal 10-15 minutes visit with Sint himself, in English or in Dutch. When you ZOOM with Sinterklaas you are in for a special treat. Children can see him, ask questions, get updated on their ‘naughty or nice’ status…and much more. And here is the best part, ZOOM will allow you to record the meeting so that you can share it on social media after.
