Virtual Team Building Activities and Ideas to Engage Employees

1. Quiz Games

The objective of a quiz is team bonding as well as getting to know one another. At ClearPeople, we combined some fun facts about our employees together with some learning about the subject that was presented. 

Tools: Kahoot or QuizBreaker

2. Truths and Lies

This game – also known as Two Truths, One Lie – is an easy, fun and quick way for team members to get to know one another. Instruct a couple of your team members to come up with two truths and one lie about themselves prior to the online call. The rest of the employees then need to guess which ones are truths or lies. It encourages colleagues to pay close attention to personal traits and stories. As well as attention to detail, it also encourages focus on consistency. This could be a fun online game to play during a coffee break hangout and always results in some fun water cooler chit-chat.

3. Rock paper scissors tournament

Open up your favorite video conferencing software and try a virtual version of this classic game in real-time. Two people will square off, the winner goes on to play the next person on the team, and so on. It’s a great way to test people's reflexes, responsiveness, and encourage spontaneity. It can even be a great warm up before a brainstorm!
