All the Virtual Activities You Need for Building Community

When you only see your peers’ faces for a few hours a week on your computer screen, it can be a challenge to build the kind of relationships that help your work thrive.  Each Thursday, various members of the Faculty Engagement and Development team meet over Zoom to socialize and connect informally to do just that.  The host changes each week, as do the activities they bring or create for us.  This has resulted in the team amassing an impressive collection of activities that are great for building relationships.

All of the activities in this Padlet have come from those meetings.  Whether you make them competitive with a scoring system or just play for fun, these activities are perfect for classroom settings, staff meetings, virtual happy hours, or any other social setting you can imagine. 

We've used all of them to help build our own community.  How would you like to build yours?
