Hi everyone!?

I wanted to update you on the online work party as it just ended and went really well. While I hoped to get out of 'thinking too hard' and using an escape room, as mentioned earlier, you need to book early and have at least 1.25 hours.?

So, we had 1 hour and this is what we did:?

• Log on (people came on over the first 15 mins) - this gave time for chit chat and showing new features in zoom - video filters such as hats, masks, lipstick - these were new to almost the entire team (8 people); I also had music playing in the background (Sarah Harmer, upbeat music)
• The first activity was in Mural - I used the ice breaker template they have for drawing team mates. Everyone had to draw the person on their right in the zoom room. After 5 minutes, we all guessed who the person was using Chat (chatterfall). It was fun and funny. I then labelled all the people. Due to zoom not being the same across screens, we had duplicates (the person got to choose their favourite drawing to keep) and we all co-drew the missing people at the end.?
• Next, still in mural, everyone had to add one post-it note to each person and write a quality they liked or appreciated about the person (a bit corny but team building). I saved the image and sent it to everyone at the end.?
• The second activity was a 2 minute scavenger hunt. People had to bring back to the zoom their favourite mug, the book beside their bed (or last book read) and a third item determined by a random person. To get the random person I did a "spin the wheel ()" and randomly chose. The person on the spot chose an item and everyone went to get them. The wheel was fun and people liked the novelty.?
• Once back, we did rounds of lightening talks to share a story about your mug (why its your favourite), the book, etc. We used chat (chatterfall) to vote on the best of each item.?
• To close. we used the wheel to share a final thought. I removed names after each round.?
• A ?big group cheers and happy weekend. Happy holidays!?

It was a quick, energetic and fun 1 hour work party. I definitely recommend all the tools tested.?

Hopefully this is somewhat helpful.

Have a great weekend,?
Michelle
