Gratitude Round Robins
A quick exercise you can do is Gratitude Round Robins. To participate, go around in a circle and name something that you appreciate about a peer you can see on your screen.
The group can do a second round and choose a second peer to appreciate.
PRESENTERS: If your zoom gallery view is changing a lot because of how the audio is being picked up, you can spotlight someone and ask a participant YOU see next to them in YOUR view to give an appreciative comment. Remember people with low expressive language or English can still do a positive gesture on camera or give a reaction in the tool bar. You can decide on gestures and signals in your group that have meaning and can stand in for spoken language.
