Staff Party Ideas
Plan the staff party together: who it is for, where, the theme and the ideas, collected with polls, a word cloud and brainstorming.
This or that virtual icebreaker
Eight this-or-that polls and an open question that get a video call talking, with no preparation and no one put on the spot.
Two truths and a lie
Four sets of statements where the team votes for the lie, then a leaderboard. Swap in your own team's statements before you present.
About virtual team building
Templates made for teams that meet on a video call. People answer on their own device while you share your screen, so nobody needs to unmute to take part and no one's camera has to be on to win.
Every template on this site also works in a room or in a hybrid meeting. This category collects the ones that suit a video call best: polls and prompts that need no unmuting, and games where people take turns on screen.
Hosting tips
- Put the join code in the chat as well as on the screen, for anyone on a small display.
- Ask people to keep the quiz on their phone and the call on their laptop.
- Leave a little longer for each question than you would in a room, to allow for lag.
- Where a template uses sample names or statements, replace them with your own team's before the call.
- Read the question aloud for anyone who joined by audio.

Do I need to prepare anything?
