10 Exciting Games for Virtual Meetings That Get People Talking

The move to remote working has changed a lot, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the existence of the drab meeting. Our affinity for Zoom wanes by the day, and we’re left wondering how to make virtual meetings more fun and provide a better team-building experience for co-workers. Enter, games for virtual meetings.

Kulingana na utafiti 2021, interactive slides can let instructors repurpose old information into a new, more dynamic, engaging learning paradigm.

Orodha yetu ya michezo 10 ya mikutano ya timu pepe itarudisha furaha kwenye mikutano yako ya mtandaoni, shughuli za ujenzi wa timu, simu za mikutano au hata sherehe ya Krismasi ya kazini.

Top Games for Virtual Meetings

Mchezo # 1: Spin Gurudumu

A simple game with a simple concept, yet it adds an element of surprise to the players. The spinning wheel introduces randomization, which keeps the energy high and everyone involved, because no one knows what challenge, question, or prize will come next.

You might've seen these in trade fairs, conferences, and corporate events—spinning wheels consistently draw crowds and create engagement because they tap into our natural love for unpredictability and the thrill of winning, while seamlessly collecting leads or delivering key information in an entertaining format.

What prime-time game show can’t be improved by adding a spinning wheel? Justin Timberlake’s one-season TV wonder, Spin the Wheel, would have been entirely unwatchable without the incredibly ostentatious, 40-foot-tall spinning wheel in the centre stage.

Inavyotokea, kugawa maswali thamani ya pesa kulingana na ugumu wao, kisha kupigana ili kupata dola milioni 1, inaweza kuwa shughuli ya kusisimua kwa mkutano wa timu pepe.

This is such a perfect icebreaker game for virtual meetings. You probably won't find a better and simpler icebreaker game than Spin the Wheel.

Jinsi ya kuifanya

1. Unda gurudumu la spinner kwenye AhaSlides na uweke pesa tofauti kama viingilio.
2. Kwa kila kiingilio, kukusanya maswali kadhaa. Maswali yanapaswa kuwa magumu pesa zaidi ambazo kiingilio kinathaminiwa.
3. Katika mkutano wa timu yako, chagua kila mchezaji na uwape swali kulingana na kiwango cha pesa wanachotua.
4. Ikiwa wanapata haki, ongeza kiasi hicho kwa benki yao.
5. Wa kwanza hadi $1 milioni ndiye mshindi!

Game #2: Whose Photo Is This?

Hii ni moja ya vipendwa vyetu vya wakati wote. Mchezo huu huunda mazungumzo rahisi, kwani watu hupenda kuzungumza kuhusu picha zao na matukio nyuma yao! 

Each participant sends a personal photo taken in the past, which might be from a vacation, a hobby, a cherished moment, or an uncommon location.

The photos are displayed anonymously, and your team members will have to guess to whom they belong.

After all the guesses are made, the photo owner will reveal themselves and share stories behind the image.

This game is perfect for building connections between team members, giving everyone insights into each other's lives beyond work.

Jinsi ya kuifanya

1. Create a "Short Answer" slide on AhaSlides and type in the question.
2. Insert a picture and type in the correct answer.
3. Wait for the audience to answer
4. Answers from the audience will be displayed on the screen.

Mchezo # 3: Sauti ya Wafanyikazi

Staff Soundbite is a chance to hear those office sounds you never thought you’d miss, but have been strangely yearning for ever since you started working from home.

Kabla ya shughuli kuanza, waulize wafanyikazi wako maonyesho kadhaa ya sauti ya wafanyikazi anuwai. Ikiwa wamekuwa wakifanya kazi pamoja kwa muda mrefu, karibu wamechukua baadhi ya tabia ndogo zisizo na hatia ambazo wafanyikazi wenza wanao.

Play them out during the session and get participants to vote on which co-worker is being impersonated. This virtual team meeting game is a hilarious way to remind everyone that none of the team spirit has been lost since the move online.

The game succeeds because it celebrates the quirky, human elements that make each team member unique while recreating the organic familiarity that remote work often lacks, ultimately strengthening bonds through shared laughter and recognition.

Jinsi ya kuifanya

1. Uliza maoni 1 au 2 ya sentensi ya wafanyikazi tofauti. Kuiweka bila hatia na safi!
2. Weka milio hiyo yote ya sauti katika aina slaidi za maswali ya majibu kwenye AhaSlides na uulize 'huyu ni nani?' katika kichwa.
3. Ongeza jibu sahihi pamoja na majibu mengine yoyote yanayokubalika unadhani timu yako inaweza kupendekeza.
4. Wape kikomo cha muda na uhakikishe kuwa majibu ya haraka hupata alama zaidi.

Game #4: Live Quiz!

A simple, but fun solution to stir up the atmosphere in your virtual meeting. The game requires players to think and answer as fast as they can.

Seriously, what meeting, workshop, company retreat, or break time hasn’t been improved by a live quiz?

The level of competition they inspire and the hilarity that often ensues put them squarely on the throne of engaging in virtual team meeting games.

Now, in the age of the digital workplace, short-burst quizzes have proven to encourage much of the team spirit and drive to succeed that has been lacking during this office-to-home transition period.

It's perfect for energizing virtual meetings that feel flat, breaking up long workshops or training sessions, kicking off company retreats, or filling transition time between agenda items—essentially any moment when you need to quickly shift the group's energy from passive to active engagement.

Jinsi ya kuzitumia

1. Bofya kiolezo hapo juu ili kujisajili bila malipo.
2. Chagua maswali unayotaka kutoka kwa maktaba ya violezo.
3. Bonyeza 'Futa majibu' ili kufuta sampuli ya majibu.
4. Shiriki msimbo wa kipekee wa kujiunga na wachezaji wako.
5. Wachezaji hujiunga kwenye simu zao, na unawaletea maswali moja kwa moja!

Mchezo # 5: Kuza Picha

Je! una picha nyingi za ofisini ambazo hukuwahi kufikiria ungezitazama tena? Vema, chunguza maktaba ya picha ya simu yako, uzikusanye zote, na uwape Picha Zoom.

Katika hili, unawaletea timu yako picha iliyokuzwa sana na uwaombe wakisie picha kamili ni nini. Ni vyema kufanya hivyo ukitumia picha ambazo zina uhusiano kati ya wafanyakazi wako, kama zile za vyama vya wafanyakazi au za vifaa vya ofisi.

Picture Zoom ni nzuri kwa kuwakumbusha wafanyakazi wenzako kwamba bado wewe ni timu iliyo na historia nzuri iliyoshirikiwa, hata ikiwa inategemea kichapishi hicho cha zamani cha ofisi ambacho huchapisha vitu kwa kijani kila wakati.

It's perfect for virtual team meetings when you want to inject nostalgia and humor, during onboarding to help new employees learn about team history, or anytime you want to remind colleagues of their shared journey and connection beyond just work tasks—whether meeting virtually or in person.

Jinsi ya kuifanya

1. Kukusanya picha chache ambazo zinaunganisha wafanyikazi wenzako.
2. Unda slaidi ya maswali ya aina kwenye AhaSlides na uongeze picha.
3. Wakati chaguo la kupunguza picha linapoonekana, vuta sehemu ya picha na bonyeza bonyeza.
4. Andika jibu sahihi ni nini, na majibu mengine machache yaliyokubalika pia.
5. Weka kikomo cha muda na uchague ikiwa utatoa majibu haraka na pointi zaidi.
6. Katika slaidi ya ubao wa wanaoongoza kwenye maswali inayofuata aina ya jibu slaidi, weka picha ya usuli kama picha ya ukubwa kamili.

Mchezo # 6: Balderdash

Balderdash is a creative vocabulary game where teams compete to invent the most convincing fake definitions for obscure but real English words.

To play, select 3-4 unusual real words, present each word without its definition, then have participants submit their best guess or creative fake definition via chat or polling tools while you mix in the real definition, finally revealing which was correct after everyone votes on the most believable option.

Katika mpangilio wa mbali, hii ni kamili kwa ajili ya kupiga kelele kidogo ambayo pia hupata juisi za ubunifu zinazotiririka. Timu yako inaweza (kwa kweli, pengine haijui) neno lako linamaanisha nini, lakini mawazo ya ubunifu na ya kufurahisha yanayotokana na kuwauliza hakika yanafaa dakika chache za wakati wako wa mkutano.

It's perfect for warming up creative workshops, energizing mid-meeting lulls, breaking ice with new team members, or any virtual or in-person gathering.

Jinsi ya kuifanya

1. Tafuta orodha ya maneno ya ajabu (Tumia a Jenereta ya Neno bila mpangilio na weka aina ya neno kuwa 'iliyopanuliwa').
2. Chagua neno moja na ulitangaze kwa kikundi chako.
3. Open AhaSlides and create "Brainstorm" slides.
4. Kila mtu huwasilisha ufafanuzi wake wa neno bila kujulikana kwenye slaidi ya kuchangia mawazo.
5. Ongeza ufafanuzi halisi bila kujulikana kutoka kwa simu yako.
6. Kila mtu anapigia kura ufafanuzi anaofikiri ni wa kweli.
7. Pointi 1 huenda kwa kila mtu aliyepiga kura kwa jibu sahihi.
8. Pointi 1 huenda kwa yeyote anayepata kura kuhusu uwasilishaji wao, kwa kila kura anayopata.

Mchezo # 7: Jenga Hadithi

Build a Storyline is a collaborative creative writing game where team members take turns adding sentences to create an unpredictable, often hilarious group story that unfolds throughout your meeting.

Usiruhusu janga la kimataifa kukomesha roho hiyo ya ajabu na ya ubunifu katika timu yako. Unda Hadithi hufanya kazi kikamilifu ili kuweka nguvu hiyo ya kisanii na ya ajabu ya mahali pa kazi hai.

Anza kwa kupendekeza sentensi ya mwanzo ya hadithi. Moja kwa moja, timu yako itaongeza nyongeza zao fupi kabla ya kupitisha jukumu kwa mtu anayefuata. Mwisho, utakuwa na hadithi kamili ambayo ni ya kufikiria na ya kuchekesha.

It's perfect for long virtual workshops, training sessions, or strategic planning meetings where you want to maintain energy and engagement without requiring dedicated time blocks

Jinsi ya kuifanya

1. Unda slaidi isiyo na mwisho kwenye AhaSlides na uweke kichwa kama mwanzo wa hadithi yako.
2. Ongeza sanduku la 'jina' chini ya 'nyuga za ziada' ili uweze kufuatilia ni nani amejibiwa
3. Ongeza sanduku la 'timu' na ubadilishe maandishi na 'nani ajaye?', Ili kila mwandishi aandike jina la anayefuata.
4. Hakikisha kuwa matokeo hayajafichwa na yamewasilishwa kwenye gridi ya taifa, ili waandishi waweze kuona hadithi kwa mstari kabla ya kuongeza sehemu yao.
5. Liambie timu yako iweke kitu kichwani wakati wa mkutano wakati wanaandika sehemu yao. Kwa njia hiyo, unaweza kutoa udhuru kwa mtu yeyote anayeangalia chini kwenye simu yao na akicheka.

Mchezo # 8: Sinema ya Kaya

Household Movie is a creative challenge where team members use everyday household items to recreate famous movie scenes, testing their artistic vision and resourcefulness in hilarious ways.

Siku zote nilifikiri kwamba jinsi ulivyopanga vichapo vyako vilionekana kidogo kama Jack na Rose wakielea kwenye mlango wa Titanic. Kweli, ndio, hiyo ni wazimu kabisa, lakini katika Filamu ya Kaya, pia ni ingizo la kushinda!

Huu ni mojawapo ya michezo bora ya mikutano ya timu pepe kwa ajili ya kujaribu macho ya kisanii ya wafanyakazi wako. Inawapa changamoto kutafuta vitu karibu na nyumba yao na kuviweka pamoja kwa njia ambayo huunda tena tukio kutoka kwa filamu.

Kwa hili, unaweza kuwaacha wachague sinema au wape moja kutoka IMDb ya juu 100. Wape dakika 10, na wakimaliza, wape ili wawasilishe moja kwa moja na kukusanya kura za kila mtu juu ya nani anapenda zaidi .

4. Bonyeza 'ruhusu kuchagua chaguo zaidi ya moja' ili washiriki waweze kutaja vipindi vyao 3 vya juu.
5. Ficha matokeo mpaka watakapokuwa wote ndani na uwafunue mwishoni.

Mchezo #9: Uwezekano mkubwa zaidi wa...

"Most likely to" is a form of party game in which players predict who in the group is most likely to do or say something hilarious or stupid.

Kwa upande wa michezo pepe ya mikutano ya timu iliyo na juhudi bora zaidi ya uwiano wa furaha, Uwezekano mkubwa… kuwaondoa kwenye bustani. Taja tu baadhi ya matukio 'yanayowezekana zaidi', orodhesha majina ya washiriki wako na uwafanye wapige kura juu ya nani anayewezekana zaidi.

This is a must-try activity if you want to get to know your team members better, and some hilarious moments for all to remember.

It's one of the best activities for icebreaking when you're trying to integrate new members into your team thus building deeper team connections.

Katika Pointless, toleo la michezo ya mikutano ya timu pepe, unauliza swali kwa kikundi chako na kuwafanya watoe majibu 3. Jibu au majibu ambayo yametajwa kidogo huleta pointi.

Kwa mfano, kuuliza 'nchi zinazoanza na B' kunaweza kukuletea kundi la Wabrazili na Wabelgiji, lakini ni Benin na Brunei ambazo zitaleta bacon nyumbani.

Wakati wa kutumia Michezo ya Mkutano wa Timu Halisi

It’s totally understandable that you don’t want to waste your meeting time – we’re not disputing that. But, you have to remember that this meeting is often the only time in the day that your employees will properly talk with each other.

Kwa kuzingatia hilo, tunashauri kutumia mchezo mmoja pepe wa kukutana na timu katika kila mkutano. Mara nyingi, michezo haiendi zaidi ya dakika 5, na manufaa wanayoleta ni kubwa kuliko wakati wowote unaweza kufikiria "kupotea".

Lakini ni wakati gani wa kutumia shughuli za ujenzi wa timu kwenye mkutano? Kuna shule chache za mawazo juu ya hii ...

• Mwanzoni - Aina hizi za michezo kawaida hutumiwa kuvunja barafu na kupata akili katika hali ya uwazi, wazi kabla ya mkutano.
• Katikati - Mchezo wa kuvunja mtiririko mzito wa biashara ya mkutano kawaida utakaribishwa sana na timu.
• Mwishowe - Mchezo wa muhtasari hufanya kazi vizuri kwa kuangalia ili kuelewa na kuhakikisha kila mtu yuko kwenye ukurasa sawa kabla ya kurudi kwenye kazi yake ya mbali.

Hali ya Mikutano ya Timu ya Mtandaoni

Kazi ya mbali inaweza kuhisi kutengwa kwa washiriki wa timu yako. Michezo ya mtandaoni ya mikutano ya timu husaidia kupunguza hisia hiyo kwa kuwaleta wenzako pamoja mtandaoni.

Wacha tuchore mandhari ya kidijitali, hapa:

A soma kutoka UpWork iligundua kuwa 73% ya kampuni mnamo 2028 zitakuwa angalau sehemu ya mbali.

Mwingine soma kutoka GetAbstract iligundua kuwa 43% ya wafanyikazi wa Amerika wanataka ongezeko la kazi ya mbali baada ya kuugua wakati wa janga la COVID-19. Hiyo ni karibu nusu ya wafanyakazi nchini ambao sasa wanataka kufanya kazi angalau kwa kiasi kutoka nyumbani.

Nambari zote zinaelekeza kwa jambo moja: mikutano zaidi na zaidi mkondoni katika siku zijazo.

Michezo pepe ya mikutano ya timu ndiyo njia yako ya kuweka muunganisho kati ya wafanyakazi wako katika mazingira ya kazi yanayogawanyika kila mara.
