Breaking the Ice at Team Meetings with Live Multiple Choice
There's usually some sort of introduction or ice breaker that needs to happen first before any productive discussion can take place. That's why we make use of live multiple choice questions - a fun way to engage interactivity. They are perfect for team meetings because it's interactive and makes it easy to get people talking, which in turn encourages more participation. In this post, we'll walk you through how to set up your own live multiple choice, so that you can get your team meeting off on the right foot!
What is a live multiple choice question?
Live multiple choice ice breakers are interactive games that get your team members going. You'll have four possible answers to choose from. The participants are able to choose one of the answers. The right answer will appear on the screen.
Some benefits of utilizing this method
It helps people get to know one another and break the ice.
It gives participants a chance to interact with one another.
It creates an environment where it is okay for people to make mistakes and learn from them, because they are anonymous.
Some tips for incorporating it into your next team meeting
You could start by asking participants what they want or need from this meeting, and then offer three choices: get to know one another better, solve an ongoing problem, or brainstorm ideas. Let participants select their choice from the screen. Then let each person fill in their answer on their devices. On the next slide you can ask an open-ended question on how they answered (for example: I picked 'get to know one another better' because I am eager to learn more about my coworkers) At the end of the meeting you can go over everyone's answers and talk about why they selected them.
