Introduction to events for an online sports day. Also recommended for team building.

Opportunities to communicate using online meeting services like Zoom have increased, haven’t they?

Zoom has become popular not only for regular meetings and interviews, but also for casual online drinking hangouts.

For working professionals, we recommend hosting an online sports day.

By using online meeting services such as Zoom, participants can enjoy a variety of events while being in different locations, which helps improve communication and strengthen team unity.

In this article, we’ll introduce recommended activities for an online sports day—from physical challenges to brain games—so please use it as a reference.

Introduction to events for an online sports day. Also recommended for team building (1–10)

Don’t wear the same thing!

[If your answer overlaps, you're out in the hallway] Hilarious barrage of unusual answers in the “Don’t give the same answer” quiz lol
Don't wear the same thing!

“Don’t Overlap!” is a slightly unusual game where your answers to riddles must not overlap with anyone else’s.

For example, if the prompt is “It’s a ‘bin,’ but what kind of ‘bin’ can’t you buy?” you might think of “takkyubin” (courier service) as an answer.

However, if anyone else also answers “takkyubin,” you’re out, and all players whose answers overlap are eliminated from the game.

Since you have to come up with responses that don’t duplicate others’, it really makes you think—highly recommended as a brain-teasing competition!

Puzzle solving

Even if it’s an online sports day, some people living in apartments may prefer to avoid physical activities.

That’s why I recommend puzzle-solving.

The hardest part of hosting a puzzle event is deciding what kinds of puzzles to present.

In that case, it’s a good idea to buy popular puzzle books like “5-Minute Real Escape Game” or “THE NAZO STORE.” They let you experience something that feels just like visiting an attraction together! Many of them can be enjoyed by both children and adults, so be sure to check them out.

Picture shiritori

[Chaos] Let's keep a picture shiritori going for 10 rallies with the totally wasted squad!

If you want everyone to laugh and have fun together, picture shiritori is a great choice.

Normally, shiritori is played by saying words out loud, but in picture shiritori you play using only drawings.

That means you have to guess what the other person drew and continue with a word that starts with the final sound.

This way, multiple people can play, and no one will get bored while waiting.

If you want to make it more challenging, you can add a rule to draw with your left hand!

Online Borrowed-Item Race

Online Borrowed-Item Race

This is a game where you play the classic sports day “borrowing race” inside each person’s home.

Choose a questioner, and that person gives a prompt; the other participants search their own homes for an item that fits the prompt.

You compete on how quickly you can find something, while also judging whether it truly matches the prompt.

Simple prompts like “something yellow” are fun, but setting prompts like “something you’d recommend to others” can make it easier to spark conversation afterward.

Emergency Food Search Trial

[Exquisite Recipe] Delicious and Ultra-Long-Lasting! Recommended Emergency Food – Disasters: Actions You Can Take – [Bulk Buying]
Emergency Food Search Trial

It’s a little different from a competition, but I also recommend the Emergency Food Scavenger Trial as an event.

The Emergency Food Scavenger Trial is a challenge where you try making simple emergency meals using ingredients you already have at home.

It’s fun to see what’s in someone else’s fridge, of course, and it’s also useful as part of disaster preparedness.

You can save the emergency food you make, or use it as snacks for a get-together afterward! There are videos that introduce emergency food recipes as well, so be sure to check them out for ideas.
