Ideas to Spark Your Next Virtual Team Meeting
What will spark some interest at your next virtual team meeting? See below on some great ideas to increase engagement and have a little fun
- Assign a topic i.e. “Favorite part about remote work”
- A birth map! Ask everyone to place a sticker on or near their place of birth then share a story or talk about their favorite memory from their birthplace. If you want more ideas on maps for events, you must look at www.hipmaps.com They are a wonderful resource.
- Host an employee coffee break and then have everyone break into a breakout room for a chat.
- Have everyone share a picture of their workspace then hold a contest to guess who belongs in each space (whose space is whose).
- Kick it off with virtual meeting ice breaker questions! This is one of the easiest virtual team building ideas out there. Asking a fun and easy ice breaker question is a tried-and-true way of getting people talking and bonding in no time!
We suggest building in enough time to do a few rounds of questions. Kick off your meeting with something super easy and ‘surface-level’ to get your team talking.
Easy Opening Ice breaker Questions
- What’s one random thing we probably don’t know about you?
- If you could have dinner with anyone (living or dead), who would it be?
- If you had a free airplane ticket anywhere in the world, where would you go?
- What’s one food you could eat every week for the rest of your life?
- If you had to spend $1 million in a year, what would you do with it?
- What is the best trip you have ever taken?
- If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
- What is your favorite item of clothing and why?
Are you feeling there’s a trust and comfort with your team now? Try one of these deeper questions and get more to the core of what people care about in life; this can make for meaningful team bonding for your virtual team for any event.
When others open the discussion, it can encourage the rest of the team to share their own goals, dreams and needs.
Deeper ice breaker questions for teams
- If you had unlimited time in life, what’s a hobby or passion that you would pursue?
- What do you want your legacy to be?
- What was the greatest day of your life?
