Use any or all of the following activities to create a breakthrough among your virtual team members. Here are some of the PINGPONG MOMENTS virtual team building activities listed below.
1.Open Mic Team Builder
This virtual team building game lasts approximately 10 minutes. Begin the meeting by giving each team member about a minute to prepare. Give each person the green light for a short one-minute performance, whether it’s playing the ukulele, repeating a verse from your favorite rap song, or pantomime of a peacock in love. This activity breaks the ice and lifts your spirits.
2.Get to know Team Builder
This introductory activity lasts 10-15 minutes. Have the virtual team members answer three questions about themselves before a scheduled online meeting. For example: if you were stuck on a desert island, with your smartphone in hand and the option of an app, what would it be? What color combination motivates you the most? What’s your favorite pizza topping? And so on.
Share the answers with the other teammates. Try to match the answer with the right person. Then indicate who gave what answer. Have members explain the reasons for their answers. This activity acts as a bonding session between the members.
3. Real Time Remote Office
Whoever appears first at the beginning of the workday starts a video chat. Each team member participates while logging into their work session, creating an office environment, but remotely, just like employees who come to a physical office and perform their assigned tasks. This virtual team building activity instills a sense of camaraderie.
4. Talk time
This fun virtual exercise lasts approximately 10-15 minutes. At the beginning of the workday, post a story about a current event for each team member. Have a spontaneous conversation on the subject. Give each person 60 seconds to express their opinion without the other team members responding. Then have a 5 minute group discussion on the topic. This activity helps team members better understand the dynamics of collaboration and teamwork.
5. Cocktail Happy Hour
Officially known as Cocktail ShakeUp, this fully hosted remote team building activity lasts 90 minutes and is very popular with virtual teams and managers. The fun is mixing Prohibitionera beers, with tricks and mischief as part of the action.
For example, quiz questions and / or cheerleader slogans such as “Hands on your hips, a smile on your face, a ghost in your heart, we’re ready!” motivates participants. This event requires a trained host to keep energy and participation high.
