Funny Polls to Energize Your Online Team Meeting

Usually, I am all about intentional team activities, but sometimes you just want a quick laugh to wake people up in your online team meeting. Funny polls are a way to quickly engage and energize your team with a little bit of humor.

An example of a funny poll is:

What are you wearing on your bottom half (off-camera) right now?

• Pants
• Jeans
• Skirt
• PJ bottoms
• Sweatpants
• Shorts

Here are some additional funny and light-hearted polls that would only take 1-2 minutes to post and share.

How many virtual meetings have you had in the last month?

• This is my first
• A few
• At least 1 a day
• More than I can count

How would you measure your commute today?

• Miles
• Minutes
• Feet
• Steps

When my alarm clock goes off in the morning I…

• Get right up
• Hit snooze once to get my bearings
• Hit snooze multiple times until I have to get up
• Am awake because the kids/pets/spouse already woke me up

The last phone call you made was to:

• A client you haven’t spoken to since COVID started

• A wrong number
• The COVID hotline

Last time you ate?

• Right before this meeting
• Now and that’s why I’m off camera

• 5 – Just OK
• 6 – Ready for tomorrow
