Icebreakers are important because they can help spark conversations, build trust, and create a friendly atmosphere among team members, which is especially important when working with remote teams. So why not give it a try?

According to Zippia, 39% of team members have fallen asleep during work meetings. That's quite surprising, right? But no worries, there's a fun and effective way to encourage team members to be more engaged in meetings and team-oriented.

Icebreaker games can really come in handy, as they allow you to explore a wide range of topics (though we'll touch on some that may not be suitable, will get into those next). You can have some fun games focusing on different things, like your favorite movies or the most productive habits

What Questions to Avoid?

If you want to create valuable connections and establish good relationships, it's important to keep in mind the types of questions you ask.

Avoid questions that could be too personal or reveal sensitive information about someone's life or finances. And steer clear of topics like politics, religion, or current events that could divide the group.

Avoiding questions and icebreaker activities that might make someone uncomfortable due to their age, cultural background, or lifestyle is also a good idea.

Instead, ask open-ended questions that encourage sharing, reflection, and engagement. These are more likely to spark interesting conversations and get everyone involved.
