Two Truths and a Lie: This classic icebreaker is a great way for team members to get to know each

other
better. Each participant takes turns sharing two truths and one lie about themselves. The rest of the
team then tries to guess which statement is the lie. You can use video conferencing tools or chat
platforms to facilitate this activity. Encourage everyone to be creative with their statements to make it
more fun.

Virtual Scavenger Hunt: Organize a virtual scavenger hunt where participants have to find specific items
within their own homes and share them with the group. Create a list of items or themes related to your
workplace or team culture. For example, they might need to find something related to their favorite
hobby, an item of a specific color, or a book that inspires them. Set a time limit for each item, and have
participants share their findings via webcam or in a chat.

Online Trivia Quiz: Host an online trivia quiz using a platform like Kahoot!, Quizlet, or your preferred
virtual quiz tool. Create questions related to your company's history, culture, or fun facts about team
members. Divide your remote employees into teams and compete to see who can answer the most
questions correctly. This activity is not only fun but also allows employees to learn more about the
company and their colleagues.

Virtual Escape Room: Virtual escape rooms are designed to promote teamwork and problem-solving.
You can find various online platforms that offer remote escape room experiences. Divide your team into
smaller groups and have them work together to solve puzzles and complete the escape room challenges
within a specified time frame. It's a great way for team members to collaborate and bond over a shared
goal.

Storytelling Circle: In this activity, each team member takes a turn sharing a short, personal story or
anecdote related to a specific topic. You can choose a theme relevant to your team or company culture.
For example, ask everyone to share a memorable work-related experience, a professional achievement,
or a funny remote work moment. This activity helps team members connect on a more personal level
and builds empathy among the group.

Picture Sharing: Ask each team member to select a photo from their personal collection that represents
something meaningful to them. It could be a vacation picture, a family photo, or an image that
symbolizes their goals. Have each person share their photo and explain why it's significant to them. This
activity provides insight into each team member's life outside of work and fosters a sense of connection.

Remember to keep the icebreaker activities light-hearted and respectful of everyone's comfort levels.
Also, consider the time zone differences of your remote employees when scheduling the team-building
day to ensure maximum participation.
