Playfulness, parity, and plugins
Choose from a range of community-built plugins and widgets to get your team talking. Build rapport on a personal level with watercooler prompts or a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. And, just because it’s a virtual meeting, doesn’t mean you can’t use cards, dice, and spinners to get the room hyped up.
Teams that play together stay together.

Icebreakers are often used as part of a virtual team building exercise. To make the most of the activity, prioritize the following tips:
- Ask relevant icebreaker questions that are fun and engaging.
- Keep the virtual meeting positive and welcoming.
- Encourage each participant to share and interact with other team members; these activities are a fun way to get to know others, but it only works if everyone in the group is actively involved.
- Organize smaller groups or utilize breakout rooms. A smaller-sized team meeting helps ensure that everyone can participate in a timely manner.
Team building activities help any groups of people working together, especially for those within a remote work environment. Icebreakers are a fun way to help teams get to know each other, which can ultimately lead to further communication and collaboration.
