Following the "pick an object" activity, we chose to ask for an object representing the activity of peope. Select one of the objects brought on screen and make the other participants ask questions and try to guess what activity the object represents.

This well-known energizer works online too! You shake body parts 7 times, as they are being called out by the facilitator. If you keep people seated, do hands, head (careful!), shoulders and eyelids. You can also get them to stand up and stretch properly:  legs, arms, feet, etc). Usually done in a series: you can variate the speed and energy (eg: normal to learn it / very fast and furious / at a more focussed pace / verrrry slowly)

Serves both as a warm-up / ice breaker as a gamified tech' point to demonstrate how to raise hand on the platform you're choosing (could work with other on/off actions eg cameras). The facilitator explains how to raise your virtual hand and gets everyone to do it. And then participants are invited to lower their hand bit by bit... but not in any odd order: the facilitator asks those born in a specific month or season to lower their hand first... then those born in month y, z, etc (more fun if you don't run down the year too chronologically). On purpose the facilitator leaves the month in which the meeting is taking place last, and starts honing in on the day's date. Yes, you guessed it, the idea is to find the person whose birthday is the closest to the meeting day (or to another specific date if it makes more sense to your group). Everyone then sends wishes to that person in the chat and you've established a light-hearted joyful mood :-)

Get participants to switch their cameras on, have gallery view on (or equivalent) and mime the actions or objects you're calling. Start easy, get more abstract / difficult. As the facilitator, do it too! If it's a small group microphones can be on so you hear each other laugh. Good idea to relate your actions or objects to the topic of the workshop, the season, the news (one thing people have in common).

This exercise is perfect for getting a group to focus and listen to each other (e.g. just before starting something that will require concentration - I've used it with backstage teams before going live in online events). You pick 2 well-known series eg. alphabet, numbers, months, days of the week. The first person will say the first item of the first series (e.g.: A), the second person will say the first item of second series (e.g.: January), the third person is back to the first series, with the second item in that series (e.g.: B) etc.
In the digital version, each person also needs to nominate the next person AND switch off their own camera (so everyone can see who's left - can also work reversely with cameras being switched on gradually). The series stops if there's a mistake and you start over. It's quite tricky to remember to do it all in the right order - but groups do get much better after a first try and it gives them a nice feeling of achievement.
(you can also do this in a physical setting with participants in a group - in which case they don't have to nominate the next person: it's one of these exercises when you need to "sense" the group and speak when it feels right - two people seizing the word at the same time making the whole group fail and have to start over).

This is an ice-breaker / warm up that will also put participants in a creative, playful, lateral thinking mood and will get them to start collaborating without too much at stake yet: ideal as an intro to ideation workshops. After a short introduction by the facilitator, participants get divided into random pairs or trios and have limited time (3-5 min) to say hi to each other and come up with an answer, however absurd, as to why A is like B, with A being related to the topic of the meeting (e.g. developing future scenarios for your organisation or tackling global warming in your city) and B being a random action or object (e.g. riding a bicycle, eating a banana, cuddling a panda...). You can run as many rounds as you like. Answers get shared either via the chat or, if you're using one, via an online whiteboard (this can also serve as a gentle onboarding there).

With this exercise you’re going to explore the sense of body in the space: the proprioception.

Here the instructions: stand up and raise your hands above the head. Keep the fingers of your left hand still. And do not look at them With your right index finger touch first your nose, then quickly try to touch the tip of your left thumb. Try it again, this time trying to touch another finger: so again, first touch your nose then quickly try to touch the tip of your left index finger. you need some time before before you succeed!

(you can try to gently wiggle your left fingers, so the proprioreceptors, the tiny receptors in your tendons and muscles can send signals to your brain and help you to find your fingers ;)). Use this exercise to refresh the mind by doing something completely different that requires concentration (re-focus )

# data[].attributes.body
The brain is able to learn to control multiple movements simultaneously, such as cutting food and eat or perform complex tasks as playing the drum or the piano, or swimming, manipulate objects with both hands )

You re going to ask your participants to learn something really simple. But completely new!

Close both hands with your fist. Now stretch the left index finger and the right thumb simultaneously. On  command, change the configuration: stretch the right index finger and the left thumb. Now again as before... Can you do it easily? It has to do with “bimanual coordination or bimanual interference”  when you’re asked to learn something new...it takes a bit but by tomorrow you will be able to create new brain connections.
Also this exercise helps to regain focus, since your participants are requested to concetrate "hard" on a different topic.

This check in allows to bring some good mood in a meeting. Just ask participants to share a positive word starting by the first letter of there names. This activity can be declined.

Participants are asked to go and pick an object according to the call of the facilitator! It can be an object of a specific colour, related to a topic...

# data[].attributes.body
Participants are asked to change their background with a funny, silly picture

# data[].attributes.body
The moderator asks two questions that can be answered by one word to the participants. They enter their answer by changing their username.

# data[].attributes.body
The game starts with someone saying “hey, I have an idea! Let everybody do this:” at this point the person does a silly move and everybody has to do the same move. It can be done in multiple rounds and participants are very welcome to “have an idea”. This is a high-energy energizer, people have to move (check if everybody can move, or choose movements that everybody can do)

Make a fun, beautiful or whatever face for the mutual session screenshot

Ask questions that people get to answer using their hands (see picture). These can be to check in with people, check in their energy levels or whether they are hungry, whether they feel comfortable with a topic of discussion. 3-4 questions work well.

This energizers is very fun and simple! Paste into the tchat, classic to crazy emojis and ask people to play the emoji with their faces, their bodies... Be creative!

Ask your participants to have some pen and paper handy. Get them to draw something easy e.g. weather at their place, then move on to something that is related to the topic of your meeting. Abstract things work well too. Each time give them about 10-20 seconds to draw and then get them to hold up the drawings close to their cameras. Comment on the most interesting drawings. Usually doing 3 rounds of drawings works well.
