Here are a couple of icebreaker activities suitable for remote teams:
- Two Truths and a Lie: Each team member shares three statements about themselves: two truths and one lie. The rest of the team then tries to guess which statement is the lie. This activity not only helps team members learn interesting facts about each other but also encourages engagement and interaction.
- Virtual Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items or tasks that team members have to find or complete within a set time frame, using items they have in their own homes. For example, find something blue, take a photo of your workspace, or perform a silly dance. Team members can share their findings or completed tasks via chat or video call. This activity fosters creativity, collaboration, and a sense of shared experience.
These activities are great for remote teams because they're easy to facilitate virtually and encourage participation from all team members, regardless of their location.
