A workplace gathering, at your team's pace

Diwali team building for remote teams

Bring colleagues together for a short, optional Diwali social. Use this 28-minute plan for a friendly welcome, space to share, and a game everyone can learn.

See the session plan

Make it easy to join in

Choose one host and one game. Try the controls beforehand, check the access you need, and keep the joining link ready. Include the video-call link, time zone and finish time in the invitation.

Let people play, watch, or pass on a sharing prompt. No holiday knowledge is needed. Invite personal stories only from colleagues who volunteer; nobody needs to speak for a whole tradition.

For a hybrid group, use the same meeting chat for links and shared answers. Read out anything important that is only visible to people in the room.

Your 28-minute running order

0–3 minutes
Welcome and settle in
Thank everyone for joining. Explain that participation is optional and show where the game link will appear.
3–7 minutes
Offer a short check-in
Ask, “What is one small thing that made your week brighter?” Welcome spoken answers, chat messages or a pass. If someone volunteered in advance to share a personal Diwali memory, give them a brief slot.
7–10 minutes
Explain the game
Share the joining link, walk through the basic controls and leave a moment for questions. Make the first round a warm-up.
10–23 minutes
Play together
Use the game you chose in advance. Encourage participation without putting quiet colleagues on the spot. Watch the clock and close the block between rounds when practical.
23–28 minutes
Thank the group and finish
Invite a final comment or quick thank-you in chat. Thank anyone who shared a story, then finish at the advertised time.

These are suggested host time blocks. Settings and round length affect how many rounds fit; leave room to explain controls and wrap up.

Choose one game for the shared play block

Draw Battle: draw and guess

Split into two teams and try to interpret each other's sketches. Simple drawings are welcome. Use the game's existing prompts; bring at least four players and a host with paid access.

Read the Draw Battle rules

Starts With J: letters and categories

Answer category prompts with words starting with the given letter, then vote on answers. Explain both parts before starting, and check your available credits or applicable paid access while preparing.

Read the Starts With J rules

If a game cannot run, use the play block for optional conversation in your existing video call. The gathering can still go ahead.
