Subject:
New meeting kickstarter submission
Hey there! Here's my meeting kickstarter idea:
Name: Camera on, camera off
Short description: Get to know your teams members and spark conversation in a remote environment by embracing the tools that allow us to connect with one another.
Audience size: 1-20 people
What I like about it: This activity allows team members to better get to know one another by igniting water-cooler conversation we don't naturally have in a virtual setting.
Steps:
- Ask meeting participants to turn off their cameras
- Present a series of statements, one at a time, for example:
- I'm an early riser
- I'm a winter person
- I've been at my company for over 5 years
- I have a pet
- I have a sweet tooth
- I can play a musical instrument
- I play a sport
- If the statement is true for them, as them to turn on their camera and share an explanation
- Prepare follow-up questions as there might not be natural space for discussion
- Proceed through statements until everyone has had an opportunity to turn their camera on and respond to at least one statement
Feel free to credit me!
Thanks,
