Music brings people together, and you’d be surprised to learn how many of your coworkers are raving about the top trending song on TikTok or Spotify.
Take turns whistling, tapping, or even playing an instrument (if you gave one) to the tune of a popular song and have your teammates guess the name. Figure out who’s a fan of the classics by clapping and stomping to the rhythm of “We Will Rock You” by Queen, or do whatever it takes to help your colleagues recognize your favorite tunes.
Instructions
- Start with a random team member or yourself.
- You or your teammate will hum, whistle, sing, or tap the rhythm of your favorite song.
- Team members should drop their guess in the chat.
- The correct guesser gets the turn. If no one guesses correctly, popcorn your turn to someone else.
- Enjoy!
10. Themed Meetings

Best For: Virtual Fun
Hosting themed meetings is the best icebreaker for the holiday season. Share a laugh and snap photos of you and your colleagues dressed up as elves with Zoom backgrounds at the North Pole, or in your spookiest costumes for Halloween.
Make sure your theme is chosen in good judgment. As some holidays have cultural ties, keep this icebreaker for more commercial holidays.
Instructions
- Let your team know ahead of time that you’ll be doing this activity.
- Share either what costume you’re wearing or something special about your ensemble (such as, “I’ve had this ugly sweater since 1999”).
- Have everyone popcorn to someone after their turn, or go alphabetically.
- Enjoy!
12. Guess the Childhood Photo
Best For: Team Bonding
In need of a wholesome icebreaker? In your next Zoom meeting, tell everyone to send the leader a cute (or hilarious) photo from their childhood and randomly throw them all into one slideshow.
When it’s complete, the leader will then share their screen and have the group guess which team member is in each photo. Try not to blush too hard when they get to yours.
Instructions
- Let your team know ahead of time that you’ll be doing this activity.
- Share the presentation a week prior to the meeting so team members can add their childhood photos.
- At the start of the meeting, share your screen.
- Proceed slide-by-slide and have team members either throw their guesses in the chat, or write their guesses privately on a notepad.
- At the end, have everyone share which slide belonged to them.
- Enjoy!
13. Zoom Photo Ops
Best For: Team Building
In this icebreaker, you’ll first want to ask everyone involved if they’re comfortable having their photos taken before the meeting begins (I know I’d like a heads up in case I was wearing an old band shirt instead of my usual business casual outfits.)
You can try to get everyone to make silly or scary faces, or even try to mimic the Brady Bunch title sequence. There are plenty of poses or facial expressions to capture, especially if you’ve got a kooky team to work with.
