Here are 16 of our favorite virtual ice breakers for fun team meetings. With increased social connection comes higher employee engagement, less stress, and a generally healthier outlook on work and business.

So why are remote team building activities like icebreakers so important? Because social connection is important to your bottom line. Especially when you’re meeting a new teammate, an external party, or a new partner that you’ve never come into contact with before. You might think these are totally old school, but they work. Virtual ice breakers are one of our favorite ways to encourage that personal connection. And part of fostering that remote team communication is developing a personal rapport with the other meeting attendees. Plus, in order for a meeting to be productive, there has to be an open and clear line of communication between participants. That’s why virtual team building activities and virtual ice breakers have become so popular in the past year, and we don’t see that changing any time soon. The tricky part about meeting remotely is that it can be awkward to kick off conversations, develop relationships, and generally socialize when you’re doing so over the phone or during a Zoom meeting. If we’re certain about anything in 2023, we can predict a lot of remote team meetings popping up on our calendars in upcoming months.
