SELF INTRODUCTIONS:

GAMES:

1**. Two truths and a lie**

Go around the meeting and have each person say three statements — two of them true and one a lie. The group then has to determine which statement is the lie. Pro tip: This game works best when the lie is believable.

Here’s an example: “I’m a vegetarian, I once backpacked across Italy for a month, and I adopted a puppy over the weekend.”

2**. Improv story**

This activity is an upgraded version of the game above.

The first person says a sentence or two to start a story. The next person has to start with “suddenly,” and then build on that story with one or two sentences of their own, and so on. Once everyone in the group has spoken, you’ll have a wild and unpredictable story — bonus points if you record the activity to share for future team-building exercises!

3**. Scavenger hunt**

Start by dividing your attendees into small groups, and give them a list of tasks to do or things to find around the office. This can include specific objects or workers who fit certain criteria.

Include things like “find a coffee mug with the color purple on it” or “take a picture with a manager making a silly face” — and to make things fun, offer a prize for the winning team.
