The Laughing Game

If you are need of a little cheering up, how about this little game to play with the kids…or even a party game for adults!!

How To Play The Laughing Game
The objective of this game is to get everyone to laugh while you can not laugh yourself. Have everyone sit in a circle facing each other. When it is someones turn, they have to say or act something out to get everyone else to laugh. If you laugh then you are out until the next round. Last person to not laugh wins the game. This game is as fun as you make it!

Pictionary With Zoom’s Whiteboard Feature

Zoom has a whiteboard sharing feature that is just perfect for playing Pictionary with your friends. You can play with the actual game or make up your own prompts. To use it, you’ll need to make sure you have at least a 3.5.1 or higher of the Zoom desktop client for PC or 3.5.2 for Mac. If you are using your iPad, you’ll need a 2.5.3 or higher.

To use Zoom’s whiteboard, you’ll want to click the share screen button located in your meeting toolbar, select the whiteboard, and click share. You should then see annotation tools that will let you use your mouse to draw as you would for Pictionary. You can take turns sharing the screen’s whiteboard depending on who’s turn it is, and you can put some in charge of keeping time for the person who is drawing.

How about starting a 30 days song challenge in your team? This can be particularly helpful if teams are not currently working together. Collate the songs on a streaming service, such as Spotify, where you can share the link. This can be a good conversation starter, can provide the opportunity to check in with staff on a more informal basis and…it’s fun!
