Create live polls, word clouds, and Q&A
Perfect for:
Icebreakers: Ask students about their expectations or background knowledge.
Quick polls: Check understanding of a topic in real-time.
Exit tickets: Gather feedback at the end of a session.

You can use quick icebreakers at the start of your sessions to energize participants, build connections, and create an engaging and interactive learning environment. Here is a list of icebreakers. They shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to run.
Description: Participants share three statements about themselves—two true and one false. The group has to guess which one is the lie.
How to Run: Use breakout rooms for smaller groups or let everyone participate in the main room.
Objective: Participants get to know each other in a fun way.
Description: Give participants a list of items to find in their home within 1-2 minutes (e.g., something red, something that makes noise).
How to Run: Ask them to bring the items back to the camera and share a quick story about one of them.
Objective: The activity is an energizer.
Description: Pose a question or statement (e.g., "How are you feeling about today’s session?") and ask participants to respond using emojis only.
How to Run: Use the chat in Zoom.
Objective: It is an easy way for participants to share how they are doing.
