Zoom meeting games to make your virtual meetings less boring

Discussing the company’s policy, brainstorming new ideas, or sending new hires through your startup’s policies are activities that can potentially make employees lose interest, especially if they require long hours of Zoom meetings. Thankfully, there are games and activities that you can infuse into these mandatory meetings to make them exciting and keep all participants engaged. Here are Zoom meeting games that you and your remote team can explore for great team building and memorable moments.

Guess the emoji

We’ve all been there–you’re trying to describe the emoji that you see on your screen, but you can’t quite remember what it is. Or maybe you’re not even sure if it was an emoji at all. This is even more fun when you turn it into a Zoom game. With Guess the Emoji game, you can let your team members rack their brains for the meaning of some selected emojis. It works just like the classic game of “Guess Who” or “Twenty Questions,” except that instead of guessing an object or animal, players are trying to guess an emoji. Playing this game with your remote team on Zoom is a great way to break the ice, have some fun and get to know one another.

Scattergories

Scattergories is a game where players are given a few seconds to come up with words that fit into specific categories - with all words starting with the same letter. The answers are then revealed, and each player scores one point for each valid answer they have in that category. The first person to reach a set number of points wins the game. Playing Scattergories with your remote team on Zoom is an excellent way to get to know them and their personalities. It’s also a great way to have fun and break the ice.

Guess the movie

To play, the game’s organizer or host has to gather video clips, scenes, and images of popular movies. Once the game starts on Zoom, the host will present each clip or image one after the other and players have to guess the title of the movie from the image or scene. This is one of the best Zoom meeting games to excite your team, discover the movie aficionados, and have fun.

Pictionary

Pictionary is an online game that you can play with your team. In this game, you have to draw pictures, and the other players have to guess what they are. It’s a great way to get to know people and have fun with your teammates over Zoom. You’ll discover who the artists are among you, and maybe have a few laughs.
