Damit in Jugendarbeit, Jugendbildung und Jugendverbänden die Organisation, der Informationsaustausch und die Zusammenarbeit trotz Einschränkungen in den sozialen Kontakten nicht auf der Strec ke bleiben, helfen digitale Online-Anwendungen.
Viele der hier beschriebenen Tools sind nicht nur kreativ und vielfältig sondern (in ihrer Grundfunktion) kostenfrei. Einige können auf eigenen Servern gehostet werden und sind so besonders sicher im Datenschutz.

Dafür gibt es aber manchmal auch Abstriche in der Funktionalität. Gerade hinsichtlich von Videochats, digitalem Lernen und Austausch sind die Bezahlvarianten häufig stabiler und leistungsfähiger. Generell ist zu beachten, dass sich digitale Angebote schnell ändern und die AGB sorgfältig zu lesen sind.

Explain Everything

Mit dem interaktiven Whiteboard können Präsentationen kooperativ erstellt werden. Es gibt dabei unterschiedlichste Funktionen. Auf einer freien Fläche kann gezeichnet, verlinkt, geschrieben und Bilder sowie Videos eingefügt werden. Auch Sprachchats sind in der Anwendung integriert und bieten Teams noch mehr Möglichkeiten zur Zusammenarbeit. Leider ist die Anwendung nicht kostenfrei (3,00 Dollar pro Monat für bis zu neun Personen und ab zehn Personen 0,90 Dollar pro Person). Es gibt jedoch auch eine kostenfreie Startvariante, die in ihrer Funktionalität stark begrenzt ist und in der lediglich bis zu drei Projekte angelegt werden können.Explain Everything kann plattformübergreifend genutzt werden, wobei sich jedoch die Funktionen der App zwischen iOS und Android unterscheiden können.

In seinen Datenschutzbestimmungen bezieht sich das Unternehmen auf die europäische Datenschutzgrundverordnung (DSGVO) und den EU-US Privacy Shield.

Draw.Chat

Durch eine Auswahl an Gestaltungsmitteln (Formen, Pfeile, Farben u.a.) kann kreativ gearbeitet werden. Die Kommunikation kann parallel per Text-, Audio- oder Videochat erfolgen.
Für die Nutzung ist keine Registrierung notwendig, auch die Einladung zur Einsicht oder gemeinsamen Bearbeitung erfolgt per Link.
Draw.Chat ist open source und an die europäische Datenschutzgrundverordnung gebunden.

Online energizers are one of the secrets to beating virtual fatigue. Meeting for extended periods in a virtual environment and looking at a screen all day is draining!

Keeping participants engaged in online settings is a challenge but by using games and activities, we can improve engagement and outcomes too.

In live settings, facilitators often use activities to increase group energy and focus. These energizers might include physical activity, encourage creative thinking, or simply be designed to be fun and create laughter. Here's a secret: the same can be true in online workshops and remote meetings!

In this post, we've collected 23 energizers and games for virtual teams. You'll find tips for running each one and we'll explore the benefits of using them during your virtual calls. Let's dive in!
Contents:
Meetings and workshops are at their most effective when your participants are engaged and have the energy to get involved and bring themselves fully to the session. The purpose of an online energizer is to raise energy levels, help your team be present, and center themselves in the session.

In an online workshop, maintaining and energizing your remote attendees can be crucial in making it an enjoyable and productive experience.

Particularly for people new to participating in online video calls, it can be hugely beneficial to help them have fun and engage with one another in a virtual space. Zoom team-building or online meetings can be made instantly more approachable with a simple virtual activity that breaks the ice and creates connection.

Let's look at the various benefits of using these activities before jumping into our collection of energizers!

Online energizers have a variety of benefits for participants and facilitators alike. Creating space in your agenda for energizers not only increases energy and engagement, but they can improve team connection too. When your group is more focused and energized, it can have a massive impact on the outcomes of your session too.

Engagement

Create variation in your agenda

Make it fun

Relieve awkwardness

Create connections

Keeping a team engaged in an online meeting is important in ensuring that your team finds them valuable and productive. Meetings that feature lots of unfocused discussions, difficult tasks without sufficient variation, or lots of information-heavy sessions can be draining for any team - even more so when participants are all logging in to their computers and chatting over a webcam.

In remote settings, it's much easier for participants to become disengaged or distracted. Whether through not being physically present or the dozens of other tabs open in their browser! It can also be difficult for a facilitator to effectively gauge the energy levels of the room without the benefit of physical cues and body language.

Using energizers to activate different skills and get moving can inject energy into a group and refocus their engagement. They are also useful for helping the facilitator understand group dnyamics and change up the agenda if necessary.

Some of the best workshops and meetings benefit from variation in the methods or exercises employed. This might mean shifting between creative and critical skill-based activities or encouraging small group discussions after leading a training session. In an online setting, the possibility for meaningful variation is limited, just for the fact that your remote participants are all likely seated at their desks and watching their screen.

A virtual energizer that encourages people to get up from their desks, engage in a game or stretch skills that aren't being worked out during the main workshop can really help keep things fresh and create a dynamic workshop.

Energizers are often a good way to bookmark or prepare for particular tasks: if you need a palette cleanse after a tricky group discussion, do a fun energizer. If you know the next task is going to require your participants to be fully engaged, do a more restful activity. For example, running an online energizer for students after a heavy theory section can create space for reflection.

Use SessionLab's workshop planner to plan your agenda and include energizers at the right time. You can even search the library for energizers during your session to find the right activity to give your group a lift.

Online meetings can be notorious for being a drag. Particularly under challenging circumstances such as self-isolation, helping inject some fun and creating space for teams to bond and get to know each other can really help elevate a workshop and make a team more cohesive and motivated.

Good energizers are great not only for boosting energy levels but for helping boost the tone of the entire session and improving the perception of remote meetings in your organization overall. If you are facing tough organizational challenges and have workshop tasks to match, it can be good to provide a counterpoint and balance to your agenda. Fun online games for like those below can be the perfect way to achieve that!

In remote environments, remember that virtual meetings are often the only time your team sees and speaks to one another directly without text. Use this opportunity to bring your team together with a fun energizer that can help them work together more effectively not only in the immediate workshop but throughout their remote career.

If the participants of your online workshop don't know each other well, working in a remote environment can be challenging. For those introverts or sufferers of anxiety on your team, speaking up in an online meeting with the whole company present can be daunting. Quick energizers are great for encouraging people to speak up and engage, and can often help lay the groundwork for more difficult conversations later on.

In some online energizers, you might end up looking a bit silly, but if you're doing so with everyone else on your team, it can be an equalizing force that helps people get on the same page. This can be particularly useful if you have people at different management levels interacting in the same session. Seeing your executive team be silly, or working together with your CEO on a simple game can really help make those later conversations easier to initiate.

Create connection

Creating connections in virtual teams is a challenge. Creating memorable moments and opportunities for conversation and connection in your agenda can help with your team building too.

Think of an all-hands meeting with hundreds of employees. A dry presentation might leave many employees cold. Using conference call energizers and games can elevate the event and connect people who may not even work together directly.

We've all felt the effects of zoom fatigue during an online session. Even in virtual teams who have gotten used to collaborating online, it's possible to run out of steam or lose focus during a long video call.

We recommend adding energizer games to the agenda of all longer meetings and workshops. In our own online sessions, we try to schedule an energizer at least once for every meeting over an hour long. Alongside proper breaks, this can help every team member feel present and engaged.

Energizers can also be used whenever the energy is low in your virtual meeting. Mixing up a packed virtual schedule with a game can also spark creativity and resolve those awkward silences!

If you feel a drop in energy, ask your team members if they feel like they need a break and follow their return with an energizer. In just a few minutes, your group be refreshed and ready for the next challenge!

When selecting an online energizer, it's worth looking at your agenda and figuring out what style will be most effective. If you're doing quite a discussion-heavy workshop, your virtual energizer might benefit from being non-verbal or physical in nature.

If your team is made up of a lot of visual thinkers, perhaps try an energizer than involves drawing. You might just decide that your team needs some light relief to have fun and recharge!

Remember that energizers are designed to lift spirits and provide a counterpoint to your agenda. While these energizers will work for any remote meeting, it's worth tailoring them to your group where possible.

These energizers are great to warm a group up or introduce new team members to the larger organization. Though these online warm-ups could be run at any point in your virtual workshop, they're particularly useful for warming up your group and energizing them for the online workshop ahead.

Working in a virtual world does not mean you cannot physically engage your participants. In fact, we'd recommend that you do! Energizers that incorporate bodily movement can really help lift the energy level after lunch or an in-depth exercise!

Looking around is an easy-to-perform energizer with a simple online variation. Get everyone on their webcams to stand up in the room where possible (sitting down is fine) and follow along with the instructions. If you're looking for virtual ice breakers for Zoom, try this exercise to set the tone without a need for additional set-up or equipment. This is a great remote energizer for generating laughs and teaching a valuable lesson about learning new concepts and procedures.

Human beings are naturally born storytellers. With this online energizer, you'll take some time to connect to one another by telling a shared story and be encouraged to have fun while improvising too!

The organiser starts with a line like "Once upon a time, in a land far away, 5 people got together to solve all the world's problems. Everything seemed easy, until one day one of the people saw on the horizon..." and invites the next person in the group to continue the story and add the next line. This keeps going until everyone's contributed to the story.

This one needs no other tools than video software and someone to write down the story as it develops, and can be used just for fun or with a purpose in mind. If you want people to explore a certain topic such as company communication, start the story with an appropriate line. If you want them to just have fun and be energized, maybe start with something ridiculous!

When it comes to recording the story - do so either in Google Docs or in your online whiteboard tool. If someone wants to draw images to go with the story, that's great too! Online meeting games like this one can have a lasting impact if records are kept!

If you want to keep participants on their toes, add rules like the lines have to rhyme in couplets or have a word that people can't use or must use. You could even choose who does the next line, rather than going around in order. We love this exercise as it's simple, engaging, and can be easily amended to your needs.

Creating a story together can be merely for fun, or it can help the team imagine its future or recall its past.

Some of the best energizers for online meetings and workshops are super simple and are primarily designed to get people moving and serve as a palette cleanser between more complex tasks.

Shake down is a tried and tested energizer for live settings and works well with a webcam too! Start by inviting people to stand if they have room, though let them know staying seated is fine. It's also worth checking with your participants that they're in a suitable location! As a group, perform 8 shakes of the right arm, 8 shakes of the left, 8 shakes of the right leg, and 8 shakes of the left leg. Each time count each shake as a group from one to eight.

After a sequence of four shakes, two shakes then one shake of each limb, you end the exercise with a big cheer while inviting everyone to do a signature move - whatever feels right for them! It is worth confirming with all participants that they are comfortable with a short activity that requires physical movement while standing/sitting in front of the screen. Have a plan B in your back pocket if people can't perform this activity or aren't comfortable - energizers work best when everyone is onboard!

Talking about wishes and dreams can be a great way to energize a room and get people talking. In this virtual energizer, participants are encouraged to choose three wishes and discuss them with the group.

We find one great approach is to use an online whiteboard or Google Doc and invite people to post a GIF or an image that best represents each of their wishes. Other participants can then leave comments or sticky notes to guess what they represent! Encouraging your group to be creative and find GIFs or images that speak to them personally can be a great way to help a team bond and generate conversation. Timebox this part of the exercise to create a bit of pressure and get people moving quickly!

The activity serves as a brief energiser during a workshop, and helps to get creativity flowing. At the end of this method, each team member will be a little more familiar with each other.

This is a great, creative online energizer that remote teams can prepare beforehand or during the online meeting. Invite each participant to draw an image that tells a unique story or fact about their lives. They can use pen and paper, and draw it digitally or directly into your online whiteboard tool.

If you want to make it more challenging, give participants only thirty seconds to draw their picture, or have them use a desktop drawing app and do not permit any erasing or editing. Drawings that are drawn at speed and contain mistakes can help this exercise generate extra laughs.

We love this exercise as it encourages people to be creative, changes up the flow of the workshop and allows people to share personal experiences in an effective, safe environment. It's also very easy to run and can be amended to suit your online workshop setup.

If you're using an online whiteboard tool, have everyone post their images and curate them into a gallery. The result will be a nice reminder of what you've accomplished that day! If you're using video conferencing software alone, you can also have participants hold their images up to the camera.

Everyone has had dreams of going back in time to particular periods - whether they're into pirates, dinosaurs or knights on horseback. The Time Machine energizer is a fun exercise that can encourage some interesting discussion and can be run in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the group and the tools you're using.

In its simplest variant, you can conduct The Time Machine as an open group discussion. As with all online activities, it's useful if the facilitator controls these discussions and invites people to speak in turn to avoid crosstalk or frustration.

If you're using online collaboration tools such as an online whiteboard or Google Doc, invite people to spend five minutes to find an image or GIF that best illustrates their chosen period of time (funny is best!) and have other teammates guess the time period.

In this short virtual energizer, a group must count up to a number (usually twenty), taking turns at random, with no two people speaking at the same time. If two people speak at the same time, even for a second, the group must start over at number 1. The group has succeeded when they have counted up to the set number.

The key with this energizer is that people cannot communicate beyond saying the numbers, and so must work together non-verbally. It's a great exercise for helping people work together in a calm, focused manner and gently teaching the importance of speaking purposefully when collaborating online.

Depending on the group, this exercise may fail and that's okay: the failure itself can be instructional! Debrief this exercise to highlight some examples of good meeting etiquette, and to emphasize the importance of good communication.

Games for virtual meetings should be fun! The primary purpose of these online energizers is to have fun, create laughter, energy, and create space between more complex tasks. Fun energizers can be a vital element of meetings for any virtual team and mixing things up with more involved energizers and some designed just to get a laugh can be a good way to go. Let's take a look!

GIFs are the lifeblood of the internet and when working with virtual teams, they can be a great way of injecting humor and creativity into an online meeting. If you're wondering how to make virtual meetings fun, activities like the GIF challenge are a great place to start!

For this online game, set-up an online whiteboard or shared Google Doc and post a phrase or statement that participants then have to search for a suitable GIF in response. It might be something as simple as, "That Monday morning feeling," or "Good management looks like this." You can have a couple of questions just for fun, then include some that invite each team member to creatively respond to organizational challenges and prepare them for the next exercises.

After each round, you can invite everyone to comment or vote on their favorites, and have additional rounds to crown a winner if you wish. One great way to use this energizer is by sprinkling several rounds of questions throughout the workshop to keep energy levels up and create some moments of fun and creativity as counterpoint to other exercises.

Touch blue is an energizer that's been around for decades, and it works equally well in an online environment!

Start by having the facilitator call out something to touch such as "touch blue" or "touch something warm." Each participant then has to move and touch something that is blue or warm. This might be something on their desk, an item of clothing, or something they have to go and find on their bookshelf. The last person to find an object then has to select the next attribute.

If you want to make it a little more competitive, give everyone fifteen seconds to find something and eliminate those players who don't find anything in time. Keep playing and make things more complicated or reduce the time until one player remains. It can also be effective to do quick-fire rounds of this energizer throughout a workshop to keep participants on their toes!

Energizers in traditional live workshops often include physical activity to get the blood flowing and mix up the flow: there's no reason online workshops can't do the same! Team building games on Zoom or other online chat platforms can be especially effective by mixing things up and getting people out of their office chairs!

In Dance Dance Dance, explain that when the music starts, one person in each group starts dancing on the camera and the others follow the leader. When the song changes, another member in each group becomes the new dance leader. Change the song every twenty to thirty seconds and try to play enough songs that everyone gets a chance as leader. Encourage participants to dance in their chairs or with their upper bodies only if room is an issue!

This energizer isn't for all teams, but can be a fun and ridiculous way to energize a virtual team and have fun before moving onto the rest of the workshop. You might have this as an optional exercise during a break if you want to let people sit it out, or you can keep it short by having one or two songs that people on your team love that you play in full.

Virtual improv games can be highly effective when it comes to engaging and energizing a team while also allowing for an opportunity to encourage fun and teambuilding.

In this energizer, you begin by inviting a participant to mime an action in their webcam screen. The first person to guess the action correctly then mimes an action themselves. This one is simple and fun, and can be a great way to bring people out of their shells.

Want to make it a little more interesting? When someone guesses correctly, the last person to mime private messages them with an action to mime next. Be sure to set ground rules for what actions are acceptable for the group to mime and which aren't! Encouraging the use of imagination is useful for many workshop groups, and just because you're facilitating online doesn't mean you can't get people to engage with their silly, creative sides!

Some of the most effective energizers are also the most fun. We love this energizer as it's really simple, generates laughter and can help equalize a room of people instantly. Running this in your meeting or workshop whether people are strangers or long-term colleagues can be really effective when it comes to bringing up the energy levels!

First, separate the room into two groups: puppies and kitties. You can have the groups either use nonverbal feedback icons or put their hands up to delineate which team they're on. If you're being particularly creative, have them change their background image to either a puppy or kitten!

The aim of the game is for the puppies, one at a time, to say hello to the kittens in any way possible and try to make any of them smile or laugh. Use speaker view in Zoom so that each puppy is seen and heard clearly when it's their turn. Whenever a kitten smiles or laughs, they join the puppy team. Continue until only one kitten remains or everyone becomes a puppy!

This method is quick and easy and encourages people to overcome their shyness and be silly: particularly useful for remote teams that may be stressed or anxious over current world events.

These virtual energizer games and exercises are great for challenging your team and encouraging the use of certain skills such as active listening, memory or critical thinking. They tend to be more in-depth and a little more complicated, but can see great results in longer remote workshops or could even be run as one-off exercises to engage a remote team.

Many of us will have seen a movie where one salesperson asks another to try selling them a pencil. How about we take that idea, add some potential for hilarity and move it online?

In the online pencil pitch, we recommend setting up a slide deck of weird and wonderful objects and then, inviting your participants one by one to pitch whatever comes up on the next slide to the rest of the group. Time it so participants have thirty seconds to pitch and keep things moving - bonus points if participants can think outside of the box while pitching. This is a great virtual energizer that encourages improvisation.

If you're looking for a variation, why not try using fictional characters and have each participant sell the group on why they should be president? If you want to integrate this exercise into a focused workshop, have your team pitch new features or solutions for your product or organization to the team. Depending on your needs, this exercise can easily be adapted to serve multiple purposes.

Powerpoint Karaoke is a great way to not only energize a group but also improve team bonding and communication skills. For this virtual meeting energizer, create one or more slide decks that none of the participants have seen before. You can use random slides that don't relate to one another, are just for fun, or form an actual company presentation depending on the needs of your group.

Once your team is ready to start, find a volunteer who is ready to present and start the first random slide deck. The volunteer must then present on those slides to the group. You can give people an entire slide deck each or have them tag out to other members after a few slides. We recommend keeping text information on the slides to a minimum or using just visuals. The key is getting people to improvise, have fun and also practice their communication skills under pressure!

Powerpoint Karaoke is an improv game where volunteers take turns presenting slide decks that they've never seen before, in front of a live audience.

Fancy something a little more competitive and in-depth for your online energizer? Empires is a great game for large groups that encourages critical thinking and really stretches the memory!

Begin by having everyone pick a famous person and sending the name to the facilitator as a private message. It's important no-one shares the person they've chosen. Want something different? Try a favourite food or the first album they bought. The facilitator then reviews these and reads them out to the group. Once the game has begun, this list should not be read out again - everyone has to remember them!

The energizer begins by the facilitator nominating someone to start. Player A asks player B if they are one of the names that has been read out. If player A guesses right, then player B joins player A's empire. If player A is wrong, then player B gets control of the game and gets the chance to build their empire. If a player guesses the leader of an empire correctly, they take control of that person's entire empire!

Players in an empire can confer on who they think is who - this is best done in a Slack room or group chat channel to keep audio chat to a minimum - though the leader is the only player who can make a guess. The game continues until everyone is part of one empire.

Delineate which empire players belong by using Zoom icons, by raising a hand when asked which empire they belong to, or by having each user change the background based on their empire.

Though this seems a little complicated, once you begin playing, Empires is actually pretty simple and flows quite quickly. You might do multiple rounds of this energizer at various stages of your workshop: people tend to like having another go once they get good at the game!

This activity could work between sessions as an energiser or an icebreaker. It builds on participants' memory and communication.

While all the energizers featured here are good for connecting remote workers and teambuilding, these exercises are more in-depth and expressly designed for promoting teamwork or helping your group get to know one another. If your virtual meeting is designed expressly for building team spirit, bring one of these activities to your next video call.

Do you remember doing scavenger hunts as a kid during hot summers? We loved them too! While you can't replicate the feeling of finding an object up a tree or buried in the dirt, you can get an online team working together and having fun trying to find the items on a list.

For this task, prepare a list of things you want people to find online. You can see an example of such a list in the instructions for this method. You can make the list purely fun - where people have to collect GIF or Youtube video responses to the scavenger hunt, or make it tailored to your work.

Split your group into teams and set up a timer depending on the size of your list. This online energizer works best if people are under pressure and are then encouraged to share what they found!

A fun virtual energizer that helps teams get to know each other and share best remote working practices! In Guess the Desk, start by having each participant takes a photo of their desk or remote working set-up and send them to the facilitator who then puts them into a shared whiteboard or Google Doc. Don't tell anyone whose desk is whose!

During the first round select one member to be the Desk President: they cast the vote on whose desk is whose after a group discussion. After each round, the previous Desk President elects the next and the group moves on to guess the next desk. Here's the fun part. If your desk is up it's your job to convince everyone belongs to someone else: if the group votes incorrectly on your desk, you get a point! If you successfully guess the right desk while you are Desk President, you also get a point.

After all the desks have been guessed, debrief and point out any particularly good remote working set-ups and best practices you notice and want to share!

Drawing under pressure is a fun and engaging way to energize a group, allowing creativity to take precedence and provide counterpoint to the other exercises in a session.

Doodling together in an online setting requires some creativity too, but can be very effective and fun. We recommend using an online whiteboard and setting up a virtual table where each participant is sat in groups of five - and have each participant put a post-it note with their name on and arrange them in circles large enough to support moving pictures around.

First, everyone draws the first image and puts it underneath their name tag in the online whiteboard. Then, when the time comes to pass the drawing on, pass it along to the next person in the circle. Rinse and repeat! By the end of the five steps, each person will have the original image back.

Don't have an online whiteboard? You can use Google Docs or Slack to pass your image to the next person and can even upload images drawn on paper or in digital drawing tools if you wish!

Doodling Together #collaboration #creativity #teamwork #fun #team #visual methods #energiser #ice breaker #remote-friendly

Create wild, weird and often funny postcards together & establish a group's creative confidence.

Online energizers don't need to be complicated to be effective. Take a picture of your shoes is a quick and effective energizer that encourages participants to share a little bit of themselves and facilitates further conversation. This can be very useful when it comes to bringing a remote team together!

Have each of your participants take a picture of their shoes and upload it to an online whiteboard or your meeting Slack channel. You can ask participants to take their photographs in the meeting itself or beforehand if you want to keep this energizer short and neat. That said, it can be very fun for people to take photographs in the workshop. Change it up by encouraging funny poses or use of extra props.

You then invite people to discuss their footwear and tell a story of their chosen shoes. It might be that they're wearing comfy slippers they got for a recent birthday or running shoes they wore while completing a 10k!

Like Tom Hanks in Castaway, teams often have to respond to difficult situations and changing conditions. This remote team energizer is designed to help participants to collaborate, demonstrate creative thinking and use decision making skills, all framed within a familiar concept that also allows for some interesting discussions!

First, create a list of items that have washed up on the island in a Google Doc or your online whiteboard - include pictures if you can! Then, split your group into teams and move them into Zoom breakout rooms or Slack channels. These teams collectively decide upon which three items they would choose to help their group survive.

Encourage teams to write down which items and why, or if they're feeling creative, draw their responses in the whiteboard - these kinds of artifacts can be crucial in making an exercise effective. After the groups have had time to deliberate, bring them back together, see what everyone chose and debrief.

Many of us have played a game similar to this before - if you were stranded on a desert island, what essential items would you choose to survive?

Participants are given a list of items to choose from and must work together to decide which items will help them stay alive.

A great, remote-friendly exercise for a team to work together and share opinions.

Conference call energizers

Running activities with large groups online is a challenge facing many virtual teams. Bringing your entire remote team together for an all-hands is important, but it's also common for these meetings to be dry or unengaging.

These methods are designed to energize participants of a large-scale video call without disrupting proceedings or taking too much time. They can be run with very large groups and take advantage of the scale of an online conference call to create some interesting kinds of engagement. Let's take a look!

Getting instant feedback from a large group is hard. During a virtual conference call, you might want to get a quick read of employee sentiment without too much complication. Stand up if is an effective energizer that scales to any group size.

Start by making a statement in your video call and asking that everyone stands up if that statement is true for them. You might ask, "Stand up if you've ever been horseback riding," or "Stand up if you worked with someone from another department this week." By getting people out of their seats while responding, you can energize your participants and get a read on the room at the same time!

short, fun, energizing team activity

While moving around is a great way of energizing a group, it might prove impractical or be off-tone for a serious conference call. Seeing lots of ideas in quick succession or tapping into the collective intelligence of everyone in your virtual team can also create energy and engagement.

Chat Waterfall is a great energizer for zoom meetings or any tool with a chat function. Begin by asking the group a question or giving them a prompt. Instruct them to write the answer in the chatbox but not to hit enter yet. After a few seconds, ask everyone to hit enter at the same time. This creates a wonderful waterfall of ideas that can create a sense of excitement and collaboration in your conference call.

Creating memorable moments during your virtual conference calls can help bring a team together while energizing the room. Energy and engagement can also emerge from moments of connection and empathy and this can be especially effective in an online environment.

Prep this activity by inviting one of the speakers on your conference call to dig out a photograph from their life. Share the snapshot during the video call and invite participants to guess who's photograph it is, or ask questions about it in the chat. Sharing stories about virtual team members new and old in this way can help bring your group together. It's also a wonderful way to add levity to a long conference call!

Many facilitators set the expectations they have for participants both before the meeting and at the very beginning to help things running smoothly and keep everyone happy and productive. Online sessions are no different. Be very clear with your participants on online meeting etiquette by creating a list and distributing it with your invites. Reiterate this at the beginning of the meeting and if possible, have it present in your virtual whiteboard or collaboration tool.

Here are some of the items you should have in your online meeting etiquette.

1. Set microphones to mute when not speaking.

2. Webcams on where possible - it's nice to see your face! Though bear in mind that in low-bandwidth environments, turning off the camera can help with call quality!

3. Call in from a quiet, well-lit location: everyone should be able to see and hear you clearly.

4. Read the agenda beforehand and come to the meeting prepared.

5. Use nonverbal means to indicate you would like to speak. Use the hand-up feature, icons or raise your hand in your video conferencing software.

6. Arrive on time if not a little early so you can iron out any audio/visual equipment issues before starting. Test your audio so you can be heard just after logging in.

7. Get familiar with the tools you're going to be using. Have a quick tour of the video chat or online whiteboard tool so you can be productive in the session.

8. Be engaged. Listen to whoever is speaking, communicate in the chat channels and use the online collaboration tools. You get out what you put in!

9. Close down extra tabs unless necessary and remove distractions. You might need Google Docs, Mural or another tool for the work of the session, but you probably don't need Facebook open!

10. Shut down other devices taking up bandwidth if possible to help ensure a stable connection.

11. Use a headset or earphones where possible to minimize echo and background noise.

12. When speaking, do so slowly and clearly. Be conscious of time - practice brevity whenever possible.

13. During presentations or longer discussions, try to add questions or thoughts to the chat channel and avoid interrupting. The facilitator will get to your questions and answer them when appropriate.

14. Try not to repeat questions in the chat channel. Read what's already there and add a like or upvote if you have the same question.

15. Smile and nod! Let the speaker know you are listening!

Depending on the workshop or meeting you are running, some tasks will likely be more complex by necessity. These should be simplified where possible, but there's no getting away from the fact that design sprints have some more complex steps to make them successful. Counter-balance this with simple, easy-to-understand energizers and online warm-ups that help people have fun and mentally recharge.

It's always worth bearing in mind that your participants are working remotely and activities should be designed and used with this in mind. Not every energizer is suitable for online workshops, but on the flipside, short activities that encourage people to engage in physical activity shouldn't just be discounted because you're at the computer.

Really take the time to consider which activities are suitable for your team in this remote setting and tailor your energizers to your tools, set-up, and group. A good number of energizers can be adapted to work as well if not better in a remote setting - in fact, virtual meetings have access to lots of interesting tools and approaches live settings simply don't have. Think remotely and use them to your advantage.

Whether your activity involves breakout rooms, nonverbal communication or games, it's always important to clearly articulate the instructions before you begin. Most things take additional time in an online environment, and needing to repeat yourself or clarify steps later on can use up precious time and energy.

Take the time to very clearly tell participants what they need to do and answer any questions related to the running of an exercise before you begin. It can be useful to prepare a summary of the instructions in your online whiteboard or collaboration tool for people to refer to if they get lost. This is not to say you shouldn't help or correct people during the exercise - just that you should make this an efficient, effective process wherever you can.

As with all activities in a remote setting, keeping things running on time in an online energizer is important. Some games and exercises have the potential to go on indefinitely and while you should absolutely engage in those and have fun too, set timers and reminders so you can stay on track.

It's also worth practicing and running a few of your preferred online activities and timing them. If you find your participants need a boost and you have ten minutes to spare in your agenda, you can pick an appropriate energizer. (Or pick one from our library!)

In unprecedented times where many of us are working remotely and conducting meetings online for the first time, it's important to remember what works. Energizers are a great way to keep your team engaged, high-spirited, and have a little fun while also being productive. This is arguably even more important in an online environment where groups don't get as much face-to-face time to have fun and feed off one another's energy.

We hope our list of remote energizer games and activities is useful! If you're looking for more remote-friendly content, check out our library category and our full set of remote resources!

Do you have a favorite remote-friendly energizer or one you would like to add? We'd love to hear from you in the comments and share best practices with the community!

Die Corona-Zeit bringt viele Herausforderungen mit sich - gerade für ErwachsenenbildnerInnen, die üblicherweise Präsenzveranstaltungen anbieten.

Zwar gibt es für viele Face-to-Face-Methoden einfache Online-Äquivalente. So kann beispielsweise eine Kennenlernrunde auch online in einem Webinarraum stattfinden. Eine Kleingruppenarbeit lässt sich über ein Etherpad oder in einem Forum organisieren, und für eine Blitzlichtrunde kann über einen sicheren Messenger wie Signal gechattet werden. Auch virtuelle Kaffeepausen sind möglich.

Wer jedoch Bildungsangebote in der Corona-Phase rasch online bringt, sollte ein paar zusätzliche Didaktik-Tipps beherzigen. Sie sind von Nele Hirsch und der Pädagogischen Hochschule Schwyz sowie dem EBmooc plus inspiriert.

Klare Strukturen schaffen

Damit Lehrende und Lernende online den Überblick behalten, müssen klare Zeit- und Ortsangaben definiert werden: Wann und wo ist das nächste Online-Meeting? Wann und wo ist der nächste Arbeitsauftrag abzugeben? Wie soll er aussehen, wie sollen Dateien benannt sein? Diese Fragen klar zu beantworten, hilft bei der Orientierung im digitalen Lernraum.

Nicht zu viele Tools verwenden

Wer sich dieser Tage auf die Suche nach digitalen Werkzeugen macht, findet eine schiere Fülle an Tools und Empfehlungen. Gerade für den Einstieg in das Online-Lernen gilt allerdings oft: Weniger ist mehr. In vielen Haushalten herrscht in der Corona-Phase ein Mangel an verfügbaren PCs oder Laptops - oder die Internetleitungen sind überlastet, da mehrere Personen zuhause lernen und arbeiten. Webbasierte Lösungen ohne Installation sowie Aufgaben, die auch per Smartphone lösbar sind, können hier Abhilfe schaffen.

Austausch und Feedback pflegen

Gerade in Zeiten, in denen „Social Distancing" gepflegt wird, gilt es online, physische Distanz zu überbrücken. ErwachsenenbildnerInnen können beispielsweise per Audiokommentar bzw. Kurzvideo Feedback geben oder mithilfe einer (sicheren) Messenger-App Raum für Austausch schaffen. Wenn neue Tools eingesetzt werden, kann deren Nutzung in Online-Meetings gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmenden reflektiert werden.

Kooperation untereinander fördern

Arbeitsaufträge in Kleingruppen und Tandems bieten sich nun besonders an und können helfen, auch die Lehrenden zu entlasten. Auch bei Einzelaufgaben kann die Kursleitung eine Schleife mit gegenseitigem Feedback einbauen.

Projektartiges Arbeiten bevorzugen

Online-Lernzeit kann gut zum selbstorganisierten Recherchieren und Erarbeiten von Inhalten genutzt werden - wenn nötig, mit Unterstützung durch die Kursleitung und/oder Rücksprachemöglichkeit. In einer Gruppe von Teilnehmenden lassen sich beispielsweise Ressourcensammlungen und Glossare erstellen.

Online-Lehre über längere Zeit verteilen

Wer bisher eintägige Seminare abgehalten hat, muss das nicht zwingend auch online so handhaben. Gerade wenn viele Teilnehmende Betreuungspflichten haben, kann es von Vorteil sein, eine Kombination aus Kursphasen und Selbstlernphasen anzubieten und dies auf einen Zeitraum von zwei bis drei Tagen zu strecken. Wie ein solches Kursdesign per Bausteinmodell zusammengesetzt werden kann, zeigt dieser Videobeitrag.

Im Flipped Design unterrichten

Impulsreferate können beispielsweise per Video vorab angeboten werden. Eine Powerpoint-Präsentation mit Tonspur leistet Ähnliches. Dies hat gleich mehrere Vorteile: eine ungestörte Vorbereitung ist möglich, die TeilnehmerInnen können sich die Inhalte in ihrem eigenen Tempo ansehen und ggf. mehrmals wiederholen, die Videos können womöglich für mehrere Kurse verwendet werden, und man kann die kostbare gemeinsame Zeit in Online-Meetings für den Austausch verwenden.

Real-time collaborative editing where authorship is the default, your server is the only server, and you decide what AI (if any) ever touches your text.

Sixteen years of being trusted with documents that matter

Three things that make Etherpad different

Authorship is the product.

Every keystroke is attributed to its author. Every revision is preserved. The timeslider lets you scrub through a document's entire history, character by character, watching it come into being. Author colours make collaboration visible at a glance - not buried in a menu. Other editors hide the history. Etherpad's history is the point.

Sovereignty is the default.

Etherpad runs on your server, under your governance. No telemetry. No upsells. No silent updates that change the deal. The code is Apache 2.0. The data format is open. Full data export is built in. The history is yours, your users', your institution's - never a third party's.

Malleability is structural.

Etherpad ships small and grows with you. 290 plugins for comments, images, tables, drawing, video chat, math, code highlighting, OAuth/LDAP/OpenID auth, and more - including AI on your terms, pointed at the model you choose, running on infrastructure you control. SaaS competitors decide for you. Etherpad lets you decide.

You don't need to set up a server to try it. Pick one of the publicly available instances run by friendly people around the world - or set up your own by following our installation guide.

Who uses Etherpad

For more than a decade, Etherpad has quietly underpinned the documents that matter to:

Wikimedia Foundation - collaborative drafting across editor communities.

Public-sector institutions across the EU - including organisations that legally cannot use US-cloud SaaS for sovereignty and GDPR reasons.

Universities and schools worldwide - including jurisdictions where Google Workspace is no longer permitted in education.

Civic-tech and democratic-deliberation projects - citizen assemblies, participatory budgeting, public consultations.

Newsrooms and investigative journalism teams - where authorship and editing history matter for legal and editorial integrity.

Tens of thousands of self-hosted instances - run by IT teams who chose Etherpad because it is theirs.

AI on your terms - or not at all

Most editors decided AI for you. They added it to the toolbar, turned it on by default, sent your text to a model you can't choose, on infrastructure you can't audit, under terms you didn't write.

Etherpad doesn't.

AI in Etherpad is a plugin you install - pointed at the model you choose, running on the infrastructure you control, through code you can audit. You can swap providers. You can run a local model. You can turn it off. You can never turn it on.

For regulated industries, public-sector institutions, journalism, healthcare, legal, and anyone who cannot ship their documents to a third-party model - this isn't a nice-to-have. It's the only acceptable posture.
Browse AI plugins →
Add Functionality

Etherpad is very customizable through plugins. Instructions can be found in the plugin wiki article

More from Etherpad

Etherpad is more than the editor. The Foundation maintains a family of official apps, clients and tools - plus a large plugin ecosystem - to help you extend, run, embed and scale Etherpad.

How to help

Etherpad is maintained by a small volunteer team and depends on contribution. Pick the way that fits you.

Contribute code, docs, translations, or plugins

Bug fixes, new plugins, documentation improvements, and translations are all welcome. Read the contributor guide, or browse the wiki for orientation. The project follows a standard fork-and-PR workflow against ether/develop on GitHub; master tracks stable releases.

Become a maintainer

We are actively looking for maintainers with experience in Node.js, real-time systems, or institutional collaboration tooling. Open an issue or contact John McLear to start a conversation.

Use Etherpad and tell people

One of the most useful things you can do is run an instance, recommend it to your team, school, or institution, and write about how you use it. A generation of decision-makers grew up after Etherpad's first wave of fame - word-of-mouth keeps the project alive.

How a contribution lands

The main development happens on GitHub. Fork the repo, branch off a feature branch from develop, commit your changes, push to your fork, and open a pull request against ether/develop. Periodically develop is merged into master, producing a new release.

Thanks

Many individuals, companies and organizations have contributed to Etherpad. We'd like to thank them all!

Additionally, our thanks go out to the tens of thousands of developers and organizations who have created all the modules we depend on or contributed in some way to our ability to provide Etherpad as open source.

We'd also like to thank you. You, who've been making Etherpad what it is, if you've been developing awesome features or plugins, whether you're running an instance or you're just one of our diligent users.

Thank you!

For distributed teams to work from anywhere

Brian Baldino,
Principal Developer at Jitsi

"

I've used a lot of online diagramming tools and I think what you've got is really great. I think Sketchboard is a great piece of software.

Ease-of-use is really important: with Sketchboard I can focus on the code and how it interacts rather than fighting with the tool.

Adrian Jakubiak, Programmer at Crunching Koalas

"

The two top things I just LOVE about Sketchboard are:
- lack of usual constraints. I can still create dependency and decision chains, but I don't have to, which is just awesome
- how easy it is to modify existing board's content, with all connections' visualization being recalculated when moving objects around

Top online whiteboard uses

Software development involves understanding very complex and abstract problems. Those need visualization using e.g. simple boxes, circles, and connections, using Sketchboard's UML diagram tool. Model your software based on design patterns or flowcharts using flowchart maker to draft your thoughts. Everyone understands the idea and works toward a common goal using the software design map created together, sketch UML diagramming for software developers.

Powering up your brainstorming

Use digital notes to write down your scrum retrospectives and assign a different area of the board to each group. Having all your ideas digitized will make it easier to take action and achieve great results.

Sketching UX Flows

Screenshot an existing user interface and use freehand drawing to mark all the necessary changes. You can also combine freehand drawing with the existing sketch UX shapes to plan your UX flows from scratch. Build online flowcharts to visualize workflows, customer journeys, and many other design processes.

Mapping your Mind

Mindmaps transformed into software pieces are a common starting point for software design. Sketchboard helps your team create collaborative mindmaps.

Spotting bugs faster

As a tester, screenshot problem areas and mark down those using a freehand drawing on top of the image. The visual element makes it easier for your team to get a clear view. This way your team can avoid the question back and forth, and bugs can get fixed faster.

Sketch Roadmaps

Sketch your product milestones and collaborate with your team to have everybody committed to those when agreed together. Speed up your process modeling with Sketchboard's process mapping tool.

No download required

Among Us is an online multiplayer game rated PEGI 7 that allows a maximum of 10 players to take on the roles of a 'Crewmate' or 'Imposter'. "Among Us'' is a multiplayer video game that was originally released in 2018, but gained massive attention in 2020. So have you played Among Us yet? Millions of you have among us free. The breakout success of Among Us is surprising when you recall that this multiplayer game of find-the-impostor from developer Innersloth was originally released to neither acclaim nor fanfare back in June 2018 among us download.

The game currently has over 90 million downloads across multiple platforms. Although it was released in June 2018, Among Us did not emerge as a hit until recently, how to play among us, when video game streamers on Amazon's Twitch service realized it was the perfect game for pandemic quarantines and started streaming their contests. Forest Willard, among us play online, also known as ForteBass online, 31, is a game developer and a co-founder of InnerSloth, the three-person indie game company that created the viral hit "Among Us," which counted at its peak late last year half a billion players worldwide.

All pets, hats, skins are unlocked

It promotes communication and teamwork to achieve the end goal of finding the Imposter. It also features a thrill for the Imposters, who are trying to hide their identity. Here's everything to know about "Among Us," including how it works, why it's so popular, and how you can start playing. There are 10 players dressed as spacemen among us download free - colorful little sausages with funny hats and little pets - all running around a map, mira hq among us frantically trying to complete a bunch of make-work tasks. Throughout the past spring and summer Among Us has been collecting players at an ever increasing rate, and it now boasts more than 85,000,000 mobile downloads. The game is currently available Android, iOS and Windows. The game is available free of cost on Android and iOS, with in-app purchases.

Among Us is a modern take on classic social deduction games like Mafia and Werewolf. Statistics on Twitch, the popular gaming streaming platform, show that over 25 million hours of Among Us streams were watched between August and October 2020. So why is it so popular? At the start of each game, among us.com, players are split into two teams: "Crewmates" and "Imposters." Most players will be crewmates, among us free download, among us unblocked no download who are responsible for completing various tasks on the map. It is a deduction game, a psychology game. You read the room, ask your questions, among us download pc, make your accusations and see how each player reacts. More importantly, though, it has insinuated itself into the culture of popular gaming, with high-profile streamers and YouTubers racking up millions of views off of their videos for the game.

Play for Free

Windows users can get over to the Steam Store, how to play among us with friends or the company's official website and purchase the game, either for Rs 199 or $5 (approximately Rs 372), respectively. The impostors, among us pc free meanwhile, achieve victory by killing off their crewmates or sabotaging the spaceship. The game randomly chooses the impostors at the start of each game. Users can use this feature to set up a game where it gives them the ability to customise the game's theme, the number of Imposters in the game, and who can be blocked or removed from the game. Once teams are decided, among us free download pc players are given free reign to run around the map, either completing their tasks or sabotaging and killing the Crewmates. The mechanics are slight - you run around, do your tasks, try not to die. You stalk the players you think are suspicious, trying to stay in groups, in plain view.

Among Us is simple. In it most players are working cooperatively and are, generally, 'good', at least in the sense that they are running around completing a task list designed to allow the whole group to survive and not plotting to murder everyone. Among Us is basically a game of survival, among us game online where you either have to vote off all of the imposters and complete all the tasks, and the imposter has to kill all of the crewmates or stop them from completing the designated tasks to win. The 2-dimensional cartoon game is played on one of three futuristic maps: A spaceship, download among us pc space station or planet base. This allows users to join games that are set as public (available for everyone to join). Only 10 players can join each game before the game has started. This does mean that children may interact with a lot of users they don't know.

Play on all web browsers

The Crewmates win the game by successfully ejecting all the Imposters, or by completing all their tasks. Then, you stabby-stab and run away. Impostors can use vents on the map to jump from one section to another among us online unblocked. Aside from the fairly obvious movie comparisons, something in this game resonates at the same frequency as the practical experience of being alive in the year 2020. An imposter needs to kill the crewmates and ensure no one is able to get out of the locations. All the while, they must be on the lookout for any of their peers who act suspicious, or "sus," and report any dead bodies they come across online among us.

Games can be set to be public or private. The host of each game controls whether a game is public or private. The straightforward premise and controls make it easy to play and appeal to new and veteran gamers alike. In a good game, everything starts going wrong, and the bodies are everywhere. Even after you die in the game among us game free, you've still got work to do as a ghost, staving off seemingly inevitable failure, which is how to play among us on computer, itself, a whole separate metaphor begging for examination. Note, if you have a huge number of players, you can also select to have multiple imposters. No crew member can talk while performing tasks, among us free on pc until and unless a death is reported. Once a body is reported or an emergency meeting is called among us offline, players discuss what they saw while completing their tasks in an effort to out the imposters among us emulator.

To limit potential interaction with strangers, setting games to private and requiring users to have a code to play is a safer option. It also helps that "Among Us" supports cross-platform play, meaning that you can play it with your friends even if you don't all have the same console. Text chat is not a great vehicle for psychological subtlety. But it is all the little sausages have. When it comes right down to it, most of Among Us is just a bunch of people trying to get their work done without dying, and that is a sentiment I understand in my bones among us play. An imposter is basically a shapeshifting alien that looks just like everyone else and is trying to sabotage the mission. Users can join public games online or create their own private games. Each game has a unique code that users can give to their friends so that they can join.

The game can take place in one of three settings - a spaceship (The Skeld), an imaginary planet (Polus), or the headquarters (Mira HQ). The social aspect of the game makes it entertaining to watch as well as play, which is part of how it became popular on Twitch. Most players don't do much but accuse, shout "Sus!" over and over (meaning suspicious) or say some version of "No way, bro! The most important part of Among Us doesn't happen in the confines of some spaceship or volcano-base. With its virtual gameplay and dependence on social interaction, Among Us was a perfect fit for virtual socializing among us free play -- like a board game you play online.
