Projemizin Logosunu tasarlarken 5 gruba ayrıldık. Tasarıma İtalya başladı. Biz onların yaptıkları 5 farklı logo tasarıma kendi tasarımlarımızı ekledik. Tasarımlara Canva aracı ile eTwinning Logosunu da ekledik. Bizden sonra Yunanistan, ardından İspanya tasarımlara devam etti. İşbirliği içinde 5 farklı ortak çalışmalar çıktı... Bunlardan birini seçmeli ve Projemizin logosunu belirlemeliydik. Logo yarışmasında 1. Takımların tasarımı olan logo, 1. seçildi.

When school is starting, it's the perfect time to pull out all your fun, new "getting to know you" classroom activities or icebreakers for kids. Back-to-school icebreakers can go a long way in the early weeks of school to help your students feel more comfortable in the classroom, get to know you, and help them get to know their classmates!

Whether your school shuffles students around from year to year, you've got a batch of pre-K or kindergarten students who are brand-new to attending school, or you've got some new kids who just moved into the district, using first day of school and first week of school icebreakers can make a big difference in creating a team atmosphere and maybe even help your students forge new friendships.

The teachers on the Teach Starter team have put together some of our favorite ideas for breaking the ice and helping students through that crucial getting to know you phase of a school year. Read on for tips on how to introduce an icebreaker and some ideas for your elementary classroom.

What Is an Icebreaker?

If you're not familiar with the idea of "getting to know you" icebreakers, maybe it's simply because you haven't used that term before.

Icebreakers are activities that are fun and built around loosening students up, helping them "break the ice" so to speak with you and other classmates who they might not know very well.

Maybe you've done your own fair share of icebreaker activities in staff meetings or during an orientation, but they were called openers or challenges that just so happened to kick things off? Then you know they can help give people something to talk about and help them quickly build up a rapport.

Best of all ... we've got plenty of fun icebreaker games and activities for kids from pre-school on up to middle school!

See our favorite teacher-created first day of school resources!

Icebreaker Games and Activities for Kids

It's important that any icebreakers you use to help your students in the getting to know you phase aren't requiring young kids to take social risks they aren't ready for. This can do the opposite of what you're hoping to do - forcing shy students back into their shells, rather than creating familiarity and comfort in the learning environment.

You'll also want to steer clear of icebreakers for kids that are just too cheesy. Primary students may give you a pass, but those older kids - especially fourth grade on up - will let you know they're just not into it!

One final note, before we share out favorite fun icebreaker games and activities? Focus on points of commonality that don't leave students out. Asking students to share information about their family, for example, can be rife with sensitive spots. Make sure students can all be on equal playing fields.

Getting to Know You Fortune Tellers

Whether you call them cootie catchers or fortune tellers, the popular paper flap games are a big hit in the classroom. But did you ever think to use them as an icebreaker? Print out the fortune teller template (it's free!), and fill it in with getting to know you questions such as "what day is your birthday?" and "how many siblings do you have?"

Photocopy, and distribute to your students, splitting them into groups of two to play "fortune teller" together. They'll have fun seeing if the fortune teller can guess the correct answers!

Best for grades: 3 through 6

Find Four Icebreaker for Kids

Find Four is a great icebreaker for helping kids get up and get those wiggles out while introducing themselves to their new classmates. The premise is simple:

Students are given a card broken out into different squares with instructions in each square (You can print a pre-filled Find Four card here !).

Each instruction tells them to "find four" classmates who meet different criteria such as "find four classmates who have a dog."

It's up to your students to wander the room and ask their peers questions about themselves to see if they can "find four!"

Students can write the names of their "our" in the boxes - a great way to help kids commit new names to memory.

Best for grades: 2 through 5

Name Chase

Remember 'Duck, Duck, Goose'? This fun icebreaker activity is a twist on the classic playground game and a great one to help new students remember each other's names.

Students sit in a circle with one person, "it", standing on the outside.

The person who is "it" walks around the circle, gently tapping each person on the head, saying that person's name as they do (instead of saying "duck").

If the person who is "it" taps someone and says the class name instead (e.g. "Ms. Green's class" instead of saying "goose"), the tapped person has to stand up and chase "it" around the circle trying to tag them before "it" takes their spot.

Best for grades: Pre-K and up

Classmate Scavenger Hunt

Send your students on a scavenger hunt to break the ice with their new classmates ... only they don't need to find something. They need to find someone, or rather several someones! Very similar to Find Four, this icebreaker for kids may be more appropriate for smaller classes where "finding four" might be tough or for younger students.

From someone who has a pet to someone who has blue eyes, this activity gets kids up and moving, as well as meeting and greeting their classmates.

You can print a pre-filled scavenger hunt template here .

Best for grades: 1 through 3

Two Truths and a Lie

This game is a classic (and fairly addictive) icebreaker for kids that can be played as a whole class or in small groups.

1. Each person in the class comes up with three statements about themselves. Two should be true statements, and one should be false. Depending on the age of your students, you might allow them to think up the statements and keep them in mind or to practice writing them down.

2. Working your way down the class list, call on students one by one.

3. When called on, each student should announce their 3 statements for the rest of the class to determine which statement they think is false.

Some different ways to play this game are:

Have the entire class vote by a show of hands, guessing which statement they think is false.

Have each student write down which statement they think is false, and see who gets the most correct.

Beach Ball Icebreaker Game

Image credit: 4 the Love of Teaching

The Beach Ball Icebreaker game is another classic and fun way for you to get to know your students and for your students to get to know each other!

Use a permanent marker to write a question on each panel of a blow-up beach ball.

Standing or sitting in a circle, students throw or roll the ball to someone else in the circle.

When students receive the ball, they answer the question that is facing them. Then they pass or roll the ball to someone else.

This game can be so easily tailored to suit the context of your classroom or the time of year. You could prepare a variety of beach balls to bring out for brain breaks too (check out six of the Teach Starter teachers' favorite ways to use balls in the classroom)!

For example, with a new class, you may write some more basic "getting to know you" questions such as "What is your favorite thing to do on the weekend?" Returning from a break with a class you already know you may write different questions like "If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?"

Pentagonal Me

Your students have come back from summer break brimming with stories and updates about their lives. Harness that energy with Pentagonal Me, an icebreaker activity that doubles as a fun way to introduce geometric shapes.

Print a Pentagon Template that's been broken into 5 separate sections.

Each section directs students to share 5 facts about themselves in different subject areas.

After the kids have written out their 25 facts, set your students up in groups of 5 (if possible), and have each student choose one section of their pentagon to read out loud to their group.

When the group is done, send students back to their seats, and ask students to share 5 things they've learned about their classmates.

The filled-out templates also make a great display for a Back-To-School Night or Meet the Teacher Night. Parents will love spotting their child's pentagon on the wall.

Best for grades: 3 and up, but this could be extra fun for 5th graders!

All About Me Cube Games

This hands-on activity can be used in different ways. Download and print enough copies of the All About Me Cube Template for every student in your class (and a few spares to go into any "new student packs" you may have prepared for kids to join your class later in the year!). You may decide to enlarge these to tabloid size for extra creative space and to make a fun display.

Here are a few different ways you could use the cubes to turn this craft activity into a group-sharing, icebreaker activity:
#1 Cube Clumps

The teacher calls out one of the topics on the cube (e.g. birthday months, hair color, special places, favorite hobby).

Students find all of the other people in the class who share that same month, characteristic, or interest and stand in a "clump."

For topics that leave students standing alone (e.g. they are the only person in their class with that birthday month, characteristic, or interest) use this as a way to highlight the amazing diversity and individuality in your class!

#2 Cube Mix

Students complete all sides of the cube except for the name and self-portrait sides.

Collect the cubes, and mix them up in a bag or box.

Hand a cube out to each student making sure they don't get their own cube.

Students look at the cube they received, and see if they can figure out who it belongs to.

#3 Cube Stack
In groups, students use the complete cubes to create 3-D sculptures or displays in your classroom by stacking cubes with the same face out.

The name and birthday side can be used to create a birthday display by stacking all of the cubes from each month together.

Stack the cubes with the portrait side facing out to make a 3-D sculpture.

Use the "special people" or "special places" sides to create a display, or even to use as writing prompts throughout the year.

Best for grades: 2 through 5

Wipe That Smile Off Your Face

Hey, we promised these icebreaker games were fun, right? Well, this one is FUN, and for fans of the YouTube "try not to laugh" challenges, it will be a big hit!

Students sit in a circle and the teacher chooses one person to start the game.

That person smiles their widest, biggest, cheesiest smile at everyone else in the circle, trying to make them laugh. However, they must be silent, and cannot pull faces or be silly, all they can do is smile.

For every person in the group who laughs at their smile, they receive one point.

After they have smiled at everyone in the group, they 'wipe' the smile off their face with their hand and 'pass' the smile to the next person in the circle.

Best for grades: Pre-k through 3

Heads or Tails

This is an easy icebreaker game to play in the classroom that requires almost no set-up. All you need is a pile of pennies and your whiteboard markers!

On your whiteboard, create two separate lists with the word "Heads" on top of one and "Tails" on top of the other.

List One should be a list of favorites such as animal, color, book, etc.

List Two should be "would you rather" questions - would you rather have a dog or cat, eat cereal for breakfast or dinner, etc.

Have your students pair off, and give each pair a penny.

Students in each pair then trade off flipping the coin.

If they get a "heads," they have to share an answer from list one with their partner, working down the list in order.

If they get a "tails," they have to tell their partner their answer to a "would you rather" question from the list, working down the list in order.

Alternate ways to play:
Instead of writing it all out, choose one of the Would You Rather question sets below that are available in Google Slides!

5 pages Grades: 3 - 6

teaching resource

Would You Rather use this set of 31 question cards or eat a can of worms?

1 page Grades: 1 - 5

My Memory Matching Game

Another twist on a familiar classic, this is a great icebreaker game for older students. In this game, students create their own cards to play a game of memory with a partner.

Provide students with an even number of blank cardboard squares or rectangles that are all the same color and size. They will create two memory cards for every fact about themselves (i.e. To create 3 facts every student needs 6 cards. To create 5 facts, each student needs 10 cards.).

On each pair of cards, students write or draw a fact about themselves. You may like to provide students with a list of prompts to help.

When they have finished creating their 'My Memory' cards, students shuffle their cards with a partner and play a game of memory.

Students can rotate to play with other new partners too.

This Is Me Task Card Game

This icebreaker game is great for the lower grades, and it makes for a great movement break during those early days of school. Download the task cards, and tell your students to stand up near their desks or in a circle. If the weather is nice, you may even want to take the class outside to get some of their wiggles out while the kids get to know one another.

As each card is read aloud to the students, they respond appropriately if the information applies to them, e.g., jump up and down if you have an older brother. Students will find that there will be many cards that do apply to them, and many that do not. They simply stand still for those cards that are not applicable and get to know their classmates!

Best for grades: Pre-K and up

STEM Icebreaker Activities

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) activities make fantastic icebreakers as they encourage kids to work together and start building a team mentality. It can also take some of the pressure off shy students who may feel uncomfortable with activities that focus on aspects of themselves and their own lives.

STEM tasks help you to assess where your new students are at in terms of general knowledge and higher-order thinking skill development. Additionally, you will be able to see how students work in groups which will help with classroom and behavior management planning.

Here are some great open-ended STEM tasks that your students can work on in small groups.
Early Elementary STEM Task Cards
This set of STEM task cards for early elementary students contains 22 different challenges that students can complete with commonly found and easily sourced materials. From creating the tallest button tower to racing cars without using their hands, these activities are a super fun way to get kids engaging with their new peers.

We've all been there - the start of a virtual or hybrid meeting where there's an awkward silence. But this can be a thing of the past when you introduce the humble icebreaker to get people talking and loosen them up.

Our list of 35 different virtual icebreakers and team-building activities for 2023 have all been tried, tested, and enjoyed by team Slido - even by the introverts among us.

We'll enlighten you first on what exactly a virtual icebreaker is, and why it's good to have one on hand for your next meeting.

What are virtual icebreakers?

Virtual icebreakers are small interactive activities that are used to lighten the mood, typically at the start of a meeting.

They are great conversation starters - they help energize people, drive lively discussions, and encourage the participants to be more active throughout the meeting.

With online and hybrid meetings, virtual icebreakers can help make your video conference call more personal and allow your colleagues to get to know each other better and enjoy some social time.

From quick icebreaker questions to longer ice-breaking games - pick your favorite ones!

1. Quick virtual icebreaker questions

These are great rapid-fire questions to energize your participants and kick-start a conversation.

#1. Mood barometer: How are you feeling today?

The classic "So, how are you folks doing?" usually gets you only a couple of reluctant answers. Ask your team how they are in a different way this time - try it with a poll.

For example, check the overall energy in the room by running a rating poll such as: "On a scale of 1-7, how are you feeling today?" Or, "What's your energy level today?"

Everyone can contribute and so you'll take an instant pulse check on how everyone is feeling before the meeting.
Create your own poll in Slido and engage your audience.
Sign up below and try it for yourself. Sign up for free
Use the poll results as a discussion starter: "I can see that not everyone is feeling at their best. Does anyone want to share their thoughts?"

#2. Would you rather...?

A would you rather virtual icebreaker question is guaranteed to spark a lively discussion at the start of your meeting.

Simply ask your participants a thought-provoking 'this or that' poll question with two options to choose from. Then, drive a discussion around how people voted and why.

Here are some of our favorite would you rather questions:

Would you live in the Arctic or in the Sahara Desert?

Would you rather be always overdressed or underdressed?

Have 2 meter long legs or 2 meter long arms?

Time travel back to the past or to the future?

#3. Quiz question of the day

Or, why don't you start with a little guessing game? Everyone loves quizzes and so a little brain teaser at the beginning of your meeting will perk your colleagues up.

This is an ideal virtual icebreaker for recurring meetings. If you and your team meet regularly, you can turn this into a tradition and run one quiz question at the start of every one of your meetings.

How to pull this off?

Simply create a quiz poll question in Slido and mark one option as correct. You can use our integrations with Google Slides and PowerPoint to insert the poll directly into your slides.

What's more, you don't even have to think up quiz questions. Our 'magic cube' random question generator will do that for you.

#4. Where are you joining from?

If your teammates are scattered around the world, kick off your meeting by sending a virtual hi to each one of them.

At the beginning of your conference call, run a word cloud with the question: "Where are you joining from?"

This is one of the best virtual icebreakers for large meetings or virtual events - the more locations, the better the word cloud will look.

As your colleagues post their locations, give them a special shout-out.

You'll even be able to see if participants are still typing or not with Slido's typing indicator feature when you're in present mode - so that everyone gets their chance to participate before you move on.

#5. In one word, how would you describe...?

You can also use word clouds to pick up your team's thoughts and feelings. Open your meeting with a question such as: "In one word, how would you describe the past week/month?"

This is one of the virtual icebreakers that will help you take a pulse check of the overall atmosphere in the team and detect possible downturns - especially handy in a virtual setup.

Or, you can even try something different like: "If you were to describe our company in one word, what would it be?"

#6. Good old times

If you need a guaranteed conversation starter, try a question that brings back childhood or teenage years memories - they provide an inexhaustible source of amusement.

You can use word clouds here as well.

Which was your favorite candy you were hoping to get when trick-or-treating? (A perfect icebreaker to use before Halloween.)

Which music band was your favorite growing up?

After people submit their answers, ask volunteers to share how they voted and why.

There will be a lot to talk about, maybe even some arguments about which candy or which movie is the best. You'll start a meeting with some laughs and get your colleagues in a good mood before a meeting.

#7. Rank your favorites

Similar to the previous virtual icebreaker, you can engage people in ranking their favorite things, whether from their childhood or not - the possibilities are endless.

Use a ranking poll question, add as many options as you wish, and let your participants rank them.

Here are some ideas:

Rank these 90s movies from your most favorite to your least favorite.

Rank these Christmas movies from a must-watch to the most passable one.

Rank these Harry Potter movies from the best to your least favorite.

After your participants are done voting, display the chart with the winners and the runner-ups. Expect a lively discussion - people tend to passionately root for their darlings!

#8. Say it with an emoji

Here's another way to get a sense of how your team members are feeling - let them express it with emojis. For example, at the start of your meeting, ask your colleagues:

"Which emoji best describes your current state of mind?"

You can use a Slido word cloud for that, but instead of words, your participants will submit an emoji. This works best with larger meetings and events when a large number of emojis gets submitted.

Here are some other ideas for emoji icebreakers:

Describe our team with an emoji.

Use an emoji to describe your ideal vacation.

Which emoji do you use most frequently?

This is an ideal virtual icebreaker if you're looking for a simple activity that anyone can participate in, for example, as you're waiting for others to join the meeting.

2. Short virtual icebreaker activities

These are great if you want to surprise your participants with a fun little activity and enjoy some bonding time.

#9. Draw your mood

Instead of verbally asking your colleagues how they are at the start of your meeting (which often results in a half-baked 'fine', or 'okay' here and there), ask them to draw how they are. It's much more fun and you'll spark creativity among your colleagues.

During our recent Brand Team meeting, our colleague, Sabine, shared a Zoom Whiteboard with us and asked us to draw our current mood on it. So we channeled our inner Basquiat and came up with something that remotely resembles art. But it was so much fun, we swear!

Note: Are you running your meetings in a hybrid setup? Then make sure that each of your on-site team members joins the video conference from their own device so they can participate in the activity.

#10. Highlight of the month

Here's a great way to lift people's spirits. Crowdsource your colleagues' personal or professional highlights from the last week or month.

Thanks to this virtual icebreaker, you can see what other people have been up to and have experienced, and you can celebrate some of your top moments.

As you kick off your meeting, ask your teammates to post their highlights in an open text poll. Then, display the highlights on the screen, and give a shout-out to each one.

It's good to remind people of all the remarkable work that they've done. For example, in our Slido marketing team, we share highlights as part of our monthly all-marketing meeting.

#11. Unsung heroes

This is not only an icebreaker but a morale booster as well. And we all need that now and then, especially when working in isolation.

Give kudos to the heroes in your team. Kick off your meeting with a word cloud poll such as: "Who was your silent hero this month?"

Acknowledging people for the effort they're putting in is a wonderful way to start a meeting. Expect lots of hearty "awws".

💡 Tip
Combine the word cloud with an open text poll, so that people can also leave a heart-warming message for their nominated silent hero.

#12. What are you thankful for?

This ice-breaking activity is ideal, for instance, before Thanksgiving or as a morale booster during special team meetings.

Ask people to submit what they are grateful for or who from the team they would like to thank.

You may open your meeting with this question, either via word cloud or an open text poll, and wait for your team members' submissions.

Then, display people's submissions on the screen and ask your colleagues to share what they put in and why.

It's a nice bonding moment and helps you start the meeting on a positive note.

#13. Team photo

A list of virtual icebreakers wouldn't be complete without a group photo! This one's as much fun through a video chat as much as it is in real life. And you can repeat it time and time again by taking a different picture each time - make funny faces, bring in your pets, do a crazy gesture, be creative.

Take inspiration from our Customer Care Team!

💡 Tip
These photos also make nice content for your social media, internal newsletters, or Slack channels!

#14. Guess whose desk?

Get to know your colleagues a little better, and take a sneak-peek into their home work stations. This virtual icebreaker is a mixture of 'Guess who?' and a house tour.

Collect pictures from your colleagues of their desks at home and add them into Slido multiple choice polls with a question: "Can you guess whose desk this is?" and give several options.

Then, once at a meeting, let your colleagues guess away!

#15. Weekend photo contest

A slow start after the weekend? Run a quick weekend photo contest to get your teammates talking. Tell them to share a cool photo from their weekend - for example in a Slack channel.

You can then put people's names in a Slido multiple choice poll and have your colleagues vote for the best shot!

#16. What's the last picture that you took?

Similar to the previous virtual icebreaker, this one is probably even more fun: Ask your colleagues to go to their phones, and dig out the last photo that they took. Ask them to either post it to your Slack channel or simply show it to the camera. Then, ask them to share a story behind the picture (if it's not a secret!).

It's a sweet little activity to make people talk and get to know one another better.

#17. Random question of the week

Here's another one from the 'Get to know your colleagues better' virtual icebreakers. Set up a new tradition and ask your team one random question each week or month.

For example:

What's the most useless thing you have in your home?

What would your superpower be if you had one?

What one thing should everybody stop doing right now?

What's one song or artist that you're embarrassed to admit you like?

We actually started doing this as a weekly activity in our #random Slack channel. We've since learned so many cool new things about one another!

3. Virtual icebreaker games & Team building activities

These are great get-to-know-you games and longer team-building activities that will both entertain and bring the team closer together.

#18. Home scavenger hunt

Get your colleagues out of their chairs. This virtual icebreaker is fun and you'll all get a chance to move around a little. Give your teammates a little task such as: "You have 25 seconds to fetch something yellow," or "Get the weirdest thing in your apartment, then bring it back to show us".

You can even take it a little further and play a full-scale virtual scavenger hunt. We recently played it in our Brand team and it was so much fun. Our colleague, Nadia, gave us 5 minutes to fulfill 20 tasks such as:

Take a picture of a view from your window and post it to Slack

Find something smaller than your fingernail

Bring the softest thing you own

Change your background to your favorite movie set

Bring an item that's older than you are

And on a hunt we went.

When the time was up, we got back together on the call and shared funny stories behind the objects that we brought. We shared some good laughs together!

#19. Team trivia quiz

Using virtual icebreakers during your meetings also helps you get to know your colleagues better.

Try a fun quiz with questions about your team. Collect interesting facts about each team member, then let other colleagues guess away. We're sure you'll dig out plenty of fun stuff!

We run this type of quiz when we introduce a new team member, or as a holiday fun activity.

#20. Background challenge

Share some laughs with your teammates on the call. Before your next all-hands or town hall meeting, set a theme and ask your colleagues to pick a virtual background image that, for them, represents it best.

Get creative. Favorite movie scenes, 80's disco, memes, dream vacation places - the possibilities are endless.

Seeing each other's backgrounds will break the ice and give you something to talk about during the first minutes of the call.

But virtual backgrounds do more than just entertain. They're also great for hiding a messy kitchen behind you, or a trespassing family member!

If you need inspiration, visit this huge library of virtual backgrounds by Canva, or get more quirky ones here.

You can also let your colleagues vote for the best background through a Slido poll.

#21. Two truths & one lie

This fun game is great for introducing new colleagues or getting to know each other better. Collect three statements about each of your colleagues - two of them should be true facts and one should be a lie. Tell your colleagues to provide a lie that's not so obvious so as to make it harder for others to guess.

Next, put all of the collected statements into Slido multiple choice polls, or you can make it a live quiz.

💡 Tip
Don't forget to ask the person who the poll is about to share at least one story behind the statements.

#22. Struggle sharing

Sharing is caring - and that should apply to both the good and the bad. Similar to sharing highlights (see point #10), it's important to also give our attention to things that didn't go so well; things that we can learn from, and move forward together.

It makes for a great team bonding experience.

Depending on the setup you're in, divide your colleagues into smaller groups (if you're in an online setup, use breakout rooms) and ask them to discuss their struggles. It can be both professional and personal.

Using an open text poll, encourage your team to share their failure or struggle in Slido as well so that people can see that they're not alone in being imperfect. You can then regroup and open a discussion about lessons that people learned from their failures.

As a leader, don't forget to contribute as well. Showing vulnerability is also a form of strength.

#23. Show & Tell

Inspired by the classic kindergarten exercise where kids bring an object to school and describe it to their fellow pupils, show and tell is a great activity for getting to know the team better.

Tell your colleagues to bring an object that has special meaning to them or that is tied to an exciting story. Give each group member 3-5 minutes to tell the rest of the group about it.

This virtual icebreaker is ideal for small teams (or done in groups) because people might not be willing to talk in front of larger crowds of people.

💡 Tip
Don't forget to give people enough time to think about their story and prepare for the short presentation. Not everybody is happy with improvising.

#24. Guess who?

This is another great get-to-know-each-other-better game, inspired by our Head of User Research, Neil Sharman.

In one of the meetings, he asked everyone to anonymously submit into Slido three brands they know they 'love a bit more than is logical'.

Then, he displayed people's submissions on the screen and the team guessed who is who just from the three brands. It's fun to identify people, plus everyone gets to share something about themselves. You'll definitely learn a lot of interesting stuff about each other.

💡 Tip
It doesn't necessarily have to be about brands. It can be music, hobbies, movies, etc.

#25. Coffee time

Have you heard of Fika? It's a Swedish word often interpreted as 'a coffee and cake break'.

For Swedes, however, it is much more than that. It's about taking a break from everything for a while and enjoying quality time with friends or colleagues over a cup of coffee or tea.

Take Fika to an online environment. You can call it whatever you like - virtual watercooler talks, virtual happy hour - it's your choice.

But be sure to schedule an informal team catch-up from time to time just to chat with your teammates about something other than work. In remote times, it will help you feel less isolated.

#26. Visual brainstorming

Good productive idea exchanges make for great virtual icebreakers too. Instead of just shouting ideas at each other, try visual brainstorming.

Take advantage of one of the visual collaboration tools such as Mural. We tried it recently during our Brand team meeting and it was an hour well spent - productive, creative, and fun.

We set up a virtual whiteboard, and each of us was supposed to write our ideas on little stickers that we then posted on the board. It nicely simulated a real-life brainstorming session.

#27. Meet up in a virtual bar

If remote work or distributed team setup doesn't allow you to enjoy an after-work beer with your colleagues, why don't you go for a virtual alternative?

In our Brand team, we recently tried Kumospace - an immersive video chat that allows you to 'meet' your colleagues in a virtual bar (or other space), move around, or create smaller chat groups.

Oh, and don't forget to get a drink. The app will even remind you when it's time for a refill!

There are other apps that provide immersive team experiences, for example, Topia. With this one, you can even design your own virtual world. It's good to have a change of scenery, isn't it?

#28. Never Have I Ever

While you're all hanging out together in this virtual bar (see point above), why don't you play a game? If you're familiar with Never Have I Ever, you surely know how much fun it is - especially with more juicy questions. It's simple: Each of you will hold out your hand so everyone can see your fingers.

One of you will read questions such as: "Never have I ever gone skinny dipping." Whenever one of you has done it, he or she will put one finger down.

This icebreaker activity is awesome for getting to know your colleagues better and have a good laugh together while sharing funny stories behind each finger down!

If you need inspiration for Never Have I Ever questions, find 250 of them here.

#29. Donut friends

When was the last time you randomly bumped into someone in a hallway in your office and shared a good chat with them? Or, had a deep conversation about life, the universe, and everything with a bunch of colleagues in a kitchenette or by the watercooler? Before we can enjoy this again, try Donut.

Donut is an app for Slack that randomly pairs two or three colleagues together for a scheduled video call. You can make use of that time however you like: Have a virtual coffee, a peer learning session, or a chat about a book that you recently read.

The best thing is that it gets you together with teammates with whom you wouldn't normally talk or interact on a daily basis. Sounds like a nice way to foster new friendships in the workplace, doesn't it?

#30. Online escape room

Need a full-scale team-building activity? Try a virtual escape room. If you've ever experienced the real thing, you surely know that it's as much fun as it is nerve-wracking! It involves dealing with various challenges, finding codes, and completing puzzles in order to "get out of the room".

It's the ultimate team bonding experience - if your teammates love a good game, they're going to be fans. There are plenty of escape room platforms out there, for example, Escape Live. You can choose from various different session types or themes.

#31. Virtual wine tasting

Even if you're remote, you don't have to give up the good old wine or beer-tasting sessions. Sure, it's a bit harder to pull off in a virtual setting, but not impossible. Just agree on a brand or type - or buy a different wine each, so you can tell each other about the subtle tones you're getting!

Our People team has recently done a wine-tasting call and it was a great team bonding experience.

It lets you enjoy some informal time with your colleagues, which, amid all the meetings is a nice change. Plus, you get to indulge in some fine beverages, what a treat!

#32. Pair & Share

This is a great virtual icebreaker that allows for more intimate conversations among your teammates. If you're familiar with breakout rooms, you'll appreciate this one.

Give your colleagues a thought-provoking question to ponder, then pair them randomly using breakout rooms (check whether your video conferencing tool allows for it).

Next, allow all groups a couple of minutes to discuss the topic before coming back to the main room to share what each pair talked about.

This is a great alternative to the 'turn to your neighbor' kind of exercise - it's interactive, and allows for more in-depth discussion between people. Introverts will appreciate this, as it feels more comfortable to share something in a pair, compared to the whole team.

#33. Online games

Online team-building games are fun and social - they encourage interaction among coworkers and help bring back the camaraderie of a physical office.

The depths of the internet is full of options, but to inspire you, we recently discovered Bored - a suite of Slack games for remote teams. You simply add the tool to your company Slack and play fun games with your colleagues right in the Slack channel.

Apart from the ever-popular game of trivia, Bored has games in which you roast your colleagues, or play a game of accusations and deception. Recently, they launched 'Icebreakers' to help teammates get to know each other better by answering questions that are unconventional and fun.

#34. Name that sound

Looking for a more sophisticated guessing game? How about guessing the sounds? This is one of the most challenging virtual icebreakers, but it's ultimately very satisfying!

It's simple. You turn your cameras off, leaving only audio on, and then you make some sort of a sound close to the mic so that your colleagues are able to hear it, and guess where it comes from.

Here are the instructions:

#35. Group storytelling

Put your improvisation skills to the test. This virtual icebreaker is inspired by my colleague Sabine, who decided that since our team-building trip couldn't happen this year, at least we'll make up a cool story of how it went.

She created a slideshow of random travel pictures, started a story, and then called on one of our teammates to follow up on what she had said, based on what picture was currently up.

We took turns in telling crazy things we did during our imaginary trip and let me tell you, it was some ride!
