๐Ÿšซ NOT Another Boring Energizer - P.1: Wall of Travel Souls

Most energizers are forgotten the second they end.
I wanted to build something different - something small but deep, where people leave the call having actually learned something about each other.

This is a concept I created for my remote team - and it's one of the few energizers that left people smiling after the call, not just during it.

๐ŸŽ’ โ€œWall of Travel Soulsโ€

A team-building experience based on personal travel memories.

โณ Duration: 20โ€“30 min

๐ŸŽฏ Purpose: Emotional connection, storytelling, light creativity

๐Ÿ’ป Format: Remote or hybrid-friendly

๐Ÿ“ธ Prep: Ask team to send 1 meaningful photo from any trip โ€” past or recent

๐Ÿ”ง What You Need

  1. A shared wall (Miro, Figma, Canva, Jamboard, etc.)
  2. A simple avatar template (or let them freestyle)
  3. 1 short, open-ended prompt

๐Ÿ’ฌ The Prompt

Think of one special moment from any vacation or trip. A quiet moment, a funny accident, something magical. Use the template to build a character or space that shows the essence of that memory. Write 1โ€“3 sentences next to it to bring it to life.

๐Ÿ“จ Script to Send Your Team (before the call)

Hey team!
For tomorrowโ€™s energizer, please find one photo from any of your travels - just a moment that meant something to you.
You can send it to me directly.
Weโ€™ll use it during the call for a short, personal activity.
If possible, please have your camera on - weโ€™re bringing a little piece of ourselves to the screen ๐ŸŒโœจ

๐Ÿงฉ Pro Tips (If You're Facilitating)

  • Prepare 2โ€“3 sample cards ahead of time (include yours!)
  • Screenshot the final wall and send it out after the meeting as a memory

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ A Sneak Peek Inside My Mural Setup

Hereโ€™s a little glimpse of how my board looked during the session.

๐Ÿ‘€ Liked the vibe?
This is just one of many energizers Iโ€™ve cooked up.
Follow me to catch the next drop โ€“ and maybe steal a few sparks for your own sessions ๐ŸŒŸ
