Have a Fun Zoom Call With These Easy Tips
You’ve come home from a long day filled with zoom meetings only to be notified by a text. Your friends want to ‘hang out’ and are hosting numerous zoom calls to stay connected. Zoom fatigue is real, so try spicing it up.
CLOTHES SWAP AND SELL
I don’t know about you, but I have WAY too many clothes in my closet, even though I wear the same 10 pieces. After watching Marie Kondo, I’m definitely inspired to downsize and spark some more joy in my life, but sometimes letting go is hard…and I just need my friend to tell me in all honestly that that one shirt I like is ugly.
Set up a time with your friends and go over pieces that you are hesitant about getting rid of to get their opinion and see if anyone else is potentially wanting that piece. If the answer is no to both, donate them and let’s be honest, make space for the new clothing you can buy.
A SHARED MEAL
Have you always wanted to be a YouTube star? Want to share your cool cooking/baking techniques? Do it. Set up a time for you to host a ‘cooking’ class where you lead and everyone cooks along. This way, they can ask you questions in real time.
Make sure to send out all the ingredients and all the utensils needed in advance so everyone can prepare and participate.
SCAVENGAR HUNT
Download a list of things that could be in everyone’s house and ask everybody to collect as many as they can in the time allotted. Then go through the list out loud and ask participants to put the item in front of camera. Have one person take note of who has what.
At the end of the time, whoever had the most items from the list wins. Make sure to give out a cool/fun prize to make it even more fun.
DO YOGA/PILATES TOGETHER
Can’t go to the gym? No worries. Put the sweat back in those sweatpants and pick a video from YouTube and play it on the meeting so that everyone can follow along and hear.
Zoom meetings don’t have to be an hour long commitment, or even thirty minutes. If it’s with your friends, it can be however you long you need it to be. Has everyone been super busy? Schedule 15 minutes to unwind and pick a short exercise/mediation video to do together. There is definitely no shortage of them online.
HOST A CONTEST
Something easy you can do is host a best background contest, where everyone takes a vote on who has the best background, or who comes in the best costume/holiday attire etc. You decide what the contest is, but make sure to keep score to add some friendly competition.
