[34]
every Wednesday, and in this video I'm
gonna give you four virtual team bonding
[40]
activities that help break the monotony
of remote business meetings, not only
[45]
that, they actually give some
connectivity for your team's, because you
[48]
get to know a little bit more about them
too, so if you could use this, give this
[53]
video a thumbs up, and let's get to it.
The really cool thing about these
[58]
virtual team bonding activities is that,
you can do them at the beginning of your
[62]
meeting, you can actually interject them
throughout your meeting, or if you have a
[65]
standard meeting with the same people,
you actually can split it out over time,
[70]
over multiple meetings, it's really going
to be up to you, that is a cool thing
[73]
with all these activities, so on that
note, let's do the first one.
[78]
Virtual team-building activity number
one cutie pie, alright, this is just
[84]
all-around fun, so what you do is, you ask
everyone who is going to be attending
[90]
the meeting to send to you in advance, if
you're the meeting facilitator, pictures
[94]
of them when they were babies, now what
you do is, when they come in you actually
[98]
interject them in the PowerPoint, so you
take little snippets, everyone kind of
[102]
gets their own page, so that you can
forward the PowerPoint to each person,
[106]
and you can do it as a round-robin, so
when you kick off your meeting, hey guys
[109]
I have something fun for you, remember
those baby pictures, let's guess who is
[113]
whom and you put up a picture, and
then you can even do a round-robin, or
[117]
people can shout out, I think it's so and
so, here, that person, or if you're not
[122]
shouting things out, you can even put it
in the little messenger portion of all
[126]
virtual meetings, right, those
little chat rooms, so what a fun way to
[130]
start it off, and again,
a great way to get to know how people
[134]
were when they were tiny, it actually
opens up and leads to other
[136]
conversations after the meeting. Virtual
team-building activity number two, once
[141]
upon a time, okay this one is excellent
when you want to bring about creativity
[145]
and people, and I'm letting you know, it
brings about fits of laughter as well,
[150]
so as a facilitator, you're gonna let the
team know sort of the ground rules,
[153]
you're gonna build a story, that's a
fictional story, something to have a
[156]
lot of fun, and you're gonna do it in a
round robin fashion, which means every
[160]
person is gonna have a chance in this, in
sequential order, but the key is, you
[165]
have to build the story, and have it come
to a conclusion by the time it reaches
[169]
the last person, so you don't want to
leave that last person hanging where
[173]
they're scrambling to
actually finish up the story, and you
[176]
only have a sentence, that's it, one
sentence, so it is hilarious, and just a
[182]
great way to bring about creativity, and
prep people particularly if you're
[186]
having a virtual brainstorming session,
or if you just want to have some fun
[190]
collectively as a group, so you kick it
off as a facilitator by saying, once upon
[195]
a time there was a boy, and then the next
person goes and goes, it is hilarious I
[201]
highly recommend this one. Super easy
virtual team-building activity number
[207]
three, and that is last word response,
okay, so like the previous exercise, you
[212]
can do this in a round robin fashion, and
what I mean by that again is, whoever is
[216]
speaking, the next person in line is
gonna be the person to the
[220]
left or the right, however you go about
doing this, and then you just go around
[223]
the room in that fashion, so it's very
sequential, but the whole purpose of this
[227]
one, is to really practice active
listening, why, because we all know in
[232]
meetings we get distracted, and sometimes
we're not focusing on what people are
[235]
saying, and it is critical in a virtual
meeting to be really focusing on what
[239]
people are saying, you're not together in
a room, and it's really easy to get
[243]
distracted, so with this particular
exercise you can pick any topic, like hey,
[247]
how was your weekend, or what are you
gonna be working on, or whatever that may
[251]
be, and the person speaks, and the person
next to them is supposed to take in the
[256]
last sentence, or the last few words,
depending on how it's said, and integrate
[261]
that into their story, so it becomes
really interesting, or
[266]
what they're saying, so it becomes really
interesting, you really have to listen to
[268]
what is being said, so you can take that
information and ensure you kickoff your
[273]
story with that information that was
just said, okay, last but not least,
[278]
virtual team-building activity number
four, and that is three truths 1 lie, ok,
[285]
I've actually done this one before with
you, but it is such an easy one to bring
[290]
into virtual team meetings, and what a
great way to get to know your team a
[294]
little bit more, so what you do is,
everyone is supposed to tell the group
[298]
three truths about them, and one lie, mix it
all up, and everyone is supposed to
[302]
guess which one is the lie, this is a
lot of fun, and again, you can introduce
[307]
this throughout your meeting, or you can
do it in the beginning of your meeting,
[310]
or, you can space it throughout
multiple meetings, but what a great and
[314]
fun way to get to know your team members
a little bit better, ok, now that you know
[320]

team meetings by doing these
[324]
