‘Tis the season to host office parties – and this year they’re going virtual! With Kahoot!, you can easily plan, create, and host a fun-filled virtual office party that connects colleagues – wherever they’re located.
Here’s how!
Plan an awesome event with brainstorm
How can I host a virtual office party that’s fun for everyone? It’s a question that many HR professionals are asking themselves this festive season – and brainstorm is here to help!
Not only is Kahoot! a great way to entertain and engage colleagues during the virtual party, it’s also a top tool for planning any kind of event. Simply invite the party planning committee to a video call, share your screen, and use the brainstorm question type to collect, discuss, and vote on ideas.
Here’s how brainstorm works:
- Ask a question (e.g., What should be the virtual party theme?)
- Each participant submits up to three ideas (e.g., Everyone wears an ugly holiday sweater, everyone should have a festive Zoom background, let’s make it fancy dress)
- You then discuss the ideas as a group
- Participants vote on their favorite ideas, and the top three ideas get points
It’s a quick and easy way to identify the best ideas. Plus, it gives everyone a voice, meaning all participants feel involved in the planning process. Besides brainstorm, you can use word clouds and polls to determine the event date and start time.
Anyone with a kahoot account – regardless of their subscription – can try brainstorm today! Play this free party planning kahoot that features brainstorms, word clouds, and polls. Start planning your virtual office party!
