Robo Word Finder

Robo Word Finder sits your team around a giant letter board where little robots walk the tiles, hunting hidden words together. Everyone draws from a single shared pool of letter picks, so nobody can sweep the board alone — someone spots a word, someone walks it, and the team decides together whether it's worth the picks. Quick to teach and easy to drop in, it's a short, collaborative break for a remote team, with boards in nine languages.

Touch Blue

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!

Circle, Square, Triangle

At the end of a workshop, it's important to reflect on the things you've learnt, the things you still need to work on and how the things you've learnt in the workshop will help you improve. This activity encourages post-session reflection, and is suitable to be run remotely.

A snapshot of my life

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.

Sesión sobre el codesarrollo

El codesarrollo es una metodología de la inteligencia colectiva. Se trata de un enfoque de desarrollo para profesionales en el que los participantes aprenden unos de otros y consolidan sus prácticas. Las sesiones de tormenta de ideas llevadas a cabo, a título individual y en grupo, se apoyan en un ejercicio estructurado de consultas sobre cuestiones vividas por los miembros del grupo.

Since you participants are not allowed to talk during the activity they need to get used to another "language" that could help them understand each other.
