Struggling to keep online conferences entertaining? Or perhaps you’re assembling a new team and want a original way to introduce the team to each other? Whatever the case, here’s a great virtual conference entertainment intro activity that takes advantage of the fact everyone is dialling in from home.
As the online meeting begins, put up instructions to all participants that they should grab three items from around their room that match three particular criteria. Here’s a list of good conditions that work well, but you can also create your own!
“Find an item that…
…best sums up your personality.
…was given as a present, and tell us about the person who gave it to you.
…sparks joy.
…has the funniest story behind it.
…comes from the furthest away.
…isn’t yours, and tell us why you have it.
…is the most unusual.
…you’ve owned for the longest.
…is the most unexpected or out of place.
…you think everyone should have, but doesn’t.”
Once everyone has entered and had a chance to find the objects, begin the conference with a round of introductions. As well as announcing their name, job title, and whatever other standard pieces of info you ask for, ask each participant to introduce the objects they’ve found as well, and why it matches the criterion you gave before. You’ll get to hear some wonderful tales that will give a far better insight into each participant’s character than the standard bland virtual event entertainment options!
