3. Pictionary
Pictionary is a classic, in part because the rules are so simple. To play, divide your group into teams. Open this Pictionary word generator and
choose a team to play first, as well as a designated drawer on that team. The drawer generates a word and has one minute to draw that word for
their team to guess. If the team guesses the card correctly, they get a point.
Zoom has a whiteboard sharing feature that is just perfect for playing Pictionary with your employees. You can play with the actual game or make
up your own prompts. To use Zoom's whiteboard, you'll want to click the share screen button located in your meeting toolbar, select the
whiteboard, and click share. You should then see annotation tools that will let you use your mouse to draw as you would for Pictionary. You can
take turns sharing the screen's whiteboard depending on who's turn it is, and you can put some in charge of keeping time for the person who is
drawing. Keep in mind you will need to have a facilitator to private message each opponent’s words to draw.

4. Two Truths and a Lie – team building/get to know your co-workers
This popular game works like this: Each team member tells the group three statements about themselves. Then, the rest of the team guesses which
of the three statements is a lie. It can encourage colleagues to pay close attention to personal traits and stories. As well as attention to detail, it
also encourages focus on consistency.
5. Fun Fact Guessing Game – team building/get to know your co-workers
Ask everyone on the team to submit a fun fact about themselves to you privately. Then, hold a meeting with the whole team and read out the facts
one by one and let everyone else guess which applies to whom. Need a score keeper to track right answers – or have voters complete a survey
prior to providing the answers in the group setting.
6. Share a Picture – team building/get to know your co-workers
Picture sharing is an easy way to get to know your team members and bond over shared interests. Invite everyone on the team to share a picture
from their workspace/home and ask them to write a little blurb describing the picture. You could also make it a guessing game and have everyone
on the team try to guess which image belongs to which person on the team.
