    Games playable over Zoom

    Simple warm-up games


    Of course, a lot of these may depend on the strength of the internet connection and
    camera/audio quality.

    Go Fetch
    Name and object, e.g. a teaspoon. Everyone has to leave their camera go find and return with
    the object as quickly as possible. You can include a points system for 1st/2nd/3rd etc.

    Why Are You Late?


    One person ‘leaves the room’ and the others decide 3 reasons why they are late for work. The
    leader acts as the Boss, and asks the person why they are late. The others must pretend to be
    working, e.g. in a typing pool and pretending to type. When the Boss turns off their screen, the
    others act out the reasons for being late so the person can guess. The Boss can mute the
    screen for as short or long a period as they like.

    Mirror Mirror
    Set tasks to copy one another, or copy a single ‘leader’. Can two people find a way to swap over
    without saying? Can the others guess who is leading?

    Pass The Face


    Perhaps inspired by an emoji, pass a specific face around the screens

    Radio Shuffle
    The leader calls out a person’s name, and they must become a radio show, e.g. News, music,
    interview, call-in, gardening, drama, documentary etc. When the next name is called, the radio
    ‘dial’ changes.

    I Love You, Honey


    Each person picks someone and says “I Love You Honey”. If their target smiles or laughs, they
    are out (or loses a point). The facilitator can suggest styles, e.g. like a vampire, a dog, in song
    etc.

    Yes/No
    One person is asked questions by the group, if they answer with a Yes/Yeah/Yup or
    No/Nah/Hope etc they are out.

    Buzzy Bees
    Everyone pretends to be bees, until the leader calls out a letter and everyone must freeze as
    something beginning with that letter.

    Logs & Blades


    If the leader calls out logs, everyone must jump to avoid the rolling logs. If the leader calls out
    blade, everyone ducks to avoid the swinging blade.

    Wink Murder
    One person is chosen to be the Detective and ‘leaves’ (is muted) and then the leader chooses
    someone to be the murderer. Then everyone is given a number, or colour, or other signifier.
    When the Detective returns, the Murderer must indicate someone’s signifier, e.g. if a person is
    number 5 hold up 5 fingers as a yawn or pick up 5 pens. That person then dies in a dramatic
    fashion (or, if death is too close-to-home at the moment, they are simply out of the game). The
    Detective has to work out who is the murderer and acting suspiciously.

    Band-Leader
    Same as Wink Murder, but someone starts with an action, e.g. cliking fingers, tapping head,
    rubbing hands etc. Everyone has the copy, and change when the Band-Leader changes. and
    the Detective as to work out who is leading.

    Name Three Times


    The person who is ‘it’ has to say someone else’s name x3 times, before that person says their
    own name once. If they don’t, they become ‘it’.

    One-word story
    Choose an order for people to follow, and say a single word each to build up a story.

    Fortunately/Unfortunately
    Tell a story one sentence at a time, but the first person starts with the phrase ‘Fortunately’. The
    next person continues the story, but starts their sentence with ‘Unfortunately’. The story flips
    between starting Fortunately/Unfortunately to change the route of the story.
