Zoom Piano Lessons and Ear training Teach ideas?

I have a student (11) who does zoom piano lesson with me each week, and she never practices (which I am not holding against her, cuz I just know thats how it is for some kids so I try to make lesson time as learning and fun filled as possible), but I struggle to come up with game ideas to do since obviouslt we are not in person and it makes it a lot more difficult.

I wanted to ask if you guys might have any ideas? Especially games relating to sharps and flats, and also reading and identifying notes on the staff. One game I started using is Headbanz and I had her print out some cut outs we can use over the camera, but again, thats just one game ya know. Your ideas will also carry over to ones I use in person, so don't think it might just get wasted on one zoom student!

Also, for more advanced students who are wanting to get into ear training, when they are familiar with it but now want to learn the "official way" (learning chords, extensions, scales, intervals etc.), how to you approach this and make it fun, and not overwhelming, especially to keep their interest so it doesn't become daunting? Thank you all in advance for you advice!
