Sometimes long meetings are unavoidable. For example: quarterly plannings/reviews, training sessions, workshops or even sprint plannings. These meetings can easily stretch to a couple of hours or even half a day.
But these long meetings don't need to be done in one piece!
Make sure you are planning a break, and try out this short and fun energizing game to empower the meeting particpants for the next round.
π Pickpocket - Game Description
Pickpocket is the adult version of scavenger hunt, a game we all loved playing as kid, right? The goal of each team is to gather together as much items as possible in the given amount of time.
β±οΈ Duration: 3 to 5 minutes
π₯ Participants: 6 -12 (or even more)
π₯οΈ Online or Remote
How-to play
- Organize participants into groups of two to four.
- Split the items from the item list so that each group is assigned three items.
- Give each group 2-3 minutes to collect as much items as possible from their list. Than count which team has the most items.
- Give a prize to the group who has found the most items.
Variation: You can also give different points to the items - for example one point for a pen, but three points for a reusable coffee cup. Than count which team has the most points.
The list of items can of course be modified.
