Simple things are often the best.
This really simple icebreaker gets everyone participating in a meeting or workshop right from the start.
It’s good for remote meetings as well as in person.
The emoji check in.
Emoji Check In
Preparation
You’ll need:
- An online whiteboard (such as miro.com)
- A selection of emojis
Remote meetings
This example is built using miro.com, adapt these instructions for your own tool
- Create an empty frame and fill in the background colour to make it a bit more fun
- Add a useful title e.g. “Team Check In” (or whatever the right context is)
- Create an empty container for 2 emojis per person (I use white circles), and leave a space for someone to add their name
