Mix n Match

Remote friendly! Introvert friendly!

Having a fun quiz at the beginning of a meeting is bound to increase interest and engagement, especially if it’s learning more about each other.

How to do it

This is a great fast way to loosen everyone up. You can keep this really fun, e.g.: “Match the lyrics with the 80s song title”. You can make it into an introduction game, e.g. “Match the team member name with the name of their pet”. Or if the topic is to do with your product or organization, you can make the items about trivia to do with the product or organization.

Make two lists on a whiteboard (physical or digital) or presentation slide of 5 related items each, but jumble up the order. The aim of the game is to match each item in one list with its correct paired item in the other list.

Variations

You can use a whiteboard or presentation slide to display the two lists, or you can get everyone to use a polling app, like Slido or Mentimeter.
