Energizers and Ice Breaker Games

Help your team practice their pitching skills while having fun with this improv activity perfect for remote teams or virtual meetings.

Worum gehts:

Du suchst nach einem Energizer für deinen virtuellen Workshop? Dieses Energizer Spiel ist wirklich zum Aufwachen, denn es wird sportlich. Das geht überraschend gut per Webcam und ich habe schon Gruppen richtig ausflippen sehen. Jede:r Teilnehmer:in kann eine Bewegung vormachen, dadurch lastet weniger Druck auf dem Moderator:in des virtuellen Workshops, das er die Teilnehmer „zwingt“ jetzt Sport zu machen. Durch die Bewegung werden Teilnehmer deutlich wacher, weil man in den meisten virtuellen Workshop lange Zeiten unbeweglich sitzt.

Light, energising exercise that helps the group to observe the other people on the call.

Bei dem Aufwärmspiel müssen Spieler*innen bestimmt Dinge in Ihrem Arbeitszimmer oder Büro suchen. 

Die Teilnehmenden bilden gleichseitige Dreiecke, ohne sich abzustimmen, und erfahren, wie Selbstorganisation eines Systems funktioniert, wie es sich kalibriert und empfindlich auf Veränderungen reagiert.

Diese Übung ist gut geeignet, um Empathie zwischen den Teammitgliedern aufzubauen und jedem Teilnehmer ein tieferes Verständnis für die Hintergründe seiner Kollegen zu vermitteln (besonders geeignet für internationale Teams oder Remote-Teams). Sie schafft auch eine lockere Atmosphäre für den bevorstehenden Workshop.

An energiser game for remote teams where participants share images of their work set-up and attempt to guess opponents' desks while bluffing their own!

Touch Blue is a classic energiser that is quick and easy fun for remote teams too! Challenge participants to find objects on their desk that match the attributes you select and have fun doing so!

A fun team-building energiser that encourages groups to recreate the scavenger hunt experience in a fully remote environment! 

A simple exercise to get people to look around and share a laughter after some funny moments - suitable for remote teams as a quick energiser.

This exercise is great for building empathy amongst team members, and giving each participant a deeper understanding of their colleagues’ backgrounds (particularly great for international or remote teams). It'll also set a casual atmosphere for the workshop ahead.

🔍 Embracing Self-Discovery: The "Getting to Know Your Role" Icebreaker

This is a uniquely designed icebreaker activity that serves as a powerful catalyst for self-reflection and team communication. This resource, set against the backdrop of the BIG PICTURE Board, is tailored to deepen the understanding of individual roles within an organisation. It's not just about breaking the ice; it’s an exploration into how each team member perceives their contribution and how they interact with the broader business landscape. By engaging in this activity, participants embark on a journey to uncover the value they add and the dynamics of their workplace relationships.

This icebreaker leverages the BIG PICTURE Board to visually map these insights, making abstract concepts tangible. The Board's design, encompassing various aspects of a business, provides a structured yet flexible platform for this exploration. Participants use the board to position themselves within the organisation, leading to revelations about alignment with team goals, potential areas of misalignment, and opportunities for growth. The simplicity of the BIG PICTURE approach amplifies the effectiveness of the "Getting to Know Your Role" activity, making it an essential tool in any facilitator's repertoire.

Dropping 'Getting to Know Your Role' in your workshop planning offers a structured yet flexible approach to session design, enabling facilitators to create more engaging, introspective, and impactful experiences that deepen team understanding and cohesion.
