Need inspiration to keep Zoom conferences fun? Or perhaps you’re bringing together a new team and want a good way to introduce the group to one another? Whatever the case, here’s a powerful virtual conference entertainment icebreaker that uses the fact you’re all dialling in from home.
As the online conference starts, put up directions to all members that they need to scavenge three items from around their home that match three particular conditions. Here’s a list of possible conditions you could use, but you can also make up more!
“Grab an item that…
…best sums up your personality.
…was given as a gift, and tell us about the person who gave it to you.
…sparks joy.
…has the most entertaining story behind it.
…comes from the furthest away.
…isn’t yours, and tell us why you have it.
…is the strangest.
…you’ve had for the longest.
…is the most unexpected or out of place.
…you think everyone should own, but doesn’t.”
Once all participants have arrived and had an opportunity to grab the items, start the conference with a round of introductions. As well as giving their name, job title, and whatever other standard pieces of information you ask for, ask each person to introduce the objects they’ve found too, and why it meets the criterion you gave before. You’ll get to hear some incredible stories that will provide a far better insight into each participant’s character than the standard bland virtual event entertainment options!
