How do you make a virtual morning meeting fun?

With so many new technologies, we can now hold virtual morning meetings that can be just as effective as in-person ones - while also adding unique activities to make it fun. From using visuals such as images and videos to giving everyone a chance to share their mornings, there are many things to make meetings exciting. Here are some virtual morning meeting activities that will help you and your team stay engaged:

Share a recent event with the team

Sharing recent interesting events in the company with your team is important because it helps them to feel more connected to the company. This will also help them understand what is happening in the company and they will be more likely to take responsibility for their work.

Share your favorite quotes

Sharing quotes is a great way to build a culture of inspiration and motivation. It helps people to find meaning in their work and it also helps them to stay motivated. The best quotes are those that inspire you to do something great. Quotes can be shared with your team in many ways, such as on a whiteboard, in an email, or through your Slack channels.

Talk about an article or book that you have read recently

One of the most important things that you can do is to share your knowledge with your team members during the day, and sharing something about your recent readings is a great way to do this. You can use your virtual morning meetings to talk about recent interesting articles or books you’ve read or are currently reading. This is a great way to understand what other team members are reading, inspire others, and create meaningful discussions.

Play a game of “how would you do this?”

Want to start the day on a wonderful note? Then a virtual morning meeting game like “how would you do this” is a great way to boost your team’s spirit. The rules are simple: in this game, participants are divided into two teams. Each team has a list of tasks or challenges that they need to complete in order to win the game. A person from each team will read out the task or challenge and everyone will have 10 seconds to come up with an idea of how they would do it. The first team that completes all the tasks on their list wins the game! The game is a great way to get people out of their comfort zones,  engage with everyone in the team, and think creatively.
