8 Virtual Training Activities that will Excite your Employees

When you have a virtual team, it can be harder to bring a fun aspect to virtual training sessions, of course, the learning objectives are first and foremost, but some training games can go a long way.

So, let's see how you can spice up your team's training with our exciting virtual training ideas.

Our Top 8 Virtual Training Activities:

1- Icebreakers

Try to make everyone comfortable with each other with some ice-breaking activities. Here are some fun ideas:

• Two truths and a lie: say two true things and one lie. Your colleagues then try to guess what is true and what is not.
• Never have I ever: Say something you have never done, and whoever has done, it must raise their hand.
• Fun fact: everyone says a fun fact about them.

2- Interactive Workshops

Have activities like workshops during the virtual meeting where you break into smaller groups and work on a project.

3- The 'I am listening' sign

Pick someone as the designated person to keep the team awake. The elected person raises their 'I am listening' sign during your virtual training. Everyone else in the training must raise it too. The last person to raise their sign is 'the loser.'

4- Have in-between activities

The virtual instructor can ask some takeaway from the audience between each module or key point, for example, or you can stop for:

• Breakout room discussions
• Worksheets
• Quizzes
• Research time
• Reading

5- Summarize it

At different intervals of the training, select a person to summarize what the training was about.

6- Brainstorming

It is a good activity to do brainstorming before you start the virtual training. Here are some tools you can use to brainstorm:

• Powerpoint
• Miro
• Google docs
• Shuffle people into different breakout rooms

7- Fast finish

When you're doing an activity during the virtual training, the time set by the virtual trainers can sometimes be inaccurate, and people end up with too little or too much time to complete the task. It is a better idea to ask your team to send in an emoji or a word to the chat when they have finished, that way, they can set their own time. You can try to make it competitive by making it a 'fast finisher' game too.

8- Collect feedback

There's no way to know how you're team is doing if you don't ask them. Your virtual training is the perfect opportunity to collect some feedback.
