Struggling to keep remote conferences fun? Or perhaps you’re bringing together a new team and want a fun method to introduce the team to each other? Whatever the case, here’s a wonderful virtual conference entertainment icebreaker that takes advantage of the fact everyone is sitting at home.
As the online meeting starts, write up directions to all members that they should find three objects from around their room that match three particular conditions. Here’s some good conditions you could use, but you can also make up more!
“Find an object that…
…best sums up you.
…was given as a present, and tell us about the person who gave it to you.
…sparks joy.
…has the most ridiculous story behind it.
…comes from the furthest away.
…doesn’t belong to you, and tell us why you have it.
…is the rarest.
…you’ve had for the longest.
…is the most unexpected or out of place.
…you think everyone ought to own, but doesn’t.”
Once all participants have entered and had a chance to find the items, begin the conference with a round of introductions. As well as providing their name, job title, and whatever other usual pieces of info you request, tell each participant to introduce the objects they’ve found too, and why it meets the condition you gave before. You’ll get to hear some wonderful tales that will provide a far better insight into each person’s personality than the usual bland virtual event entertainment options!
