Growth Team Day - 22nd May

Overview

I'd like to put together a virtual team day to help take a break and socialise amongst the Growth teams. I'm envisaging a day where we can put down tools and participate in fun, social activities across Engineering, Product, UX, Data and Quality.

Why

Relax and socialise with your fellow team members in Growth for a day.

When

Date: Friday, May 22nd 2020

Time: Throughout the day, calendar and roster TBC.

What?

Looking for contributions and volunteers from the team, however some initial ideas:

  • Zoom Pictionary (guess a movie, book or song from an image that you draw using the Zoom whiteboard)
  • Hometown virtual tours with photos, videos, street view
  • Pizza / Coffee hangouts
  • Drawasarus — drawing game online
  • boardgameareana.com online board games via browser
  • Remote charades
  • Virtual Cooking course - share and cook your favourite recipe (this is actually an excuse for me to make chocolate brownies without my wife stopping me)
  • Virtual exercise / yoga sessions
  • Virtual show & tell of a project or hobby you are working on
  • A group session of lateral thinking challenges

Schedule

I've put in 1 hour slots with 30 mins break afterwards and filled in a few that I will facilitate. Please put your entries in if you'd like to volunteer to host a session! Remember, all are optional, and timezones are hard.
