- Organise a virtual trivia afternoon with your team – it could just be half an hour, and a quick Google will present plenty of question ideas! Combine it with a coffee or drinks catch-up to force everyone to take a break from the workday.
- Set up a morning game session – our favourite is team Pictionary. There are so many apps and websites that offer virtual games. Keep work chat to a minimum and spend 15 minutes having a laugh. This really helps to connect with your teams.
- Why not run a ‘get to know you’ session, where everyone shares 1 “fun fact” and you guess who is who? Or stick to the classics and run a baby guessing competition… they’re bound to get everyone giggling.
- Change your weekly WIPs to a walking meeting – force everyone to get outside on their mobile video, even if it’s just for 10 minutes.
- Make sure you check-in on your colleagues just for the sake of it. Always talking about work matters and then ending the call/video can be draining – remember we’re all humans, and it’s important to maintain our real connections.
