All of these crisp talks enabled the latest lot of Sadanauts to get acquainted with the product roadmap in large, policies in detail, and, of course, the brand’s backstory, goals, and far-sighted mission and vision.
Ice-breaking activities 🧊
The time for words was now temporarily closed, and the time for action was upon us.
Activity #1: Who Did it? 🤔
To get Sadanauts out of their shells and to test how much they’ve learned so far – about each other, we played a little activity called “Who Did It?!”
A simple interactive game that required people to walk around the room with a sheet that enlisted 15 questions – 15 things/situations such as career shifts, travel history, and general accomplishments that might have been done by the present sadanauts. The catch? Each participant could only ask one question per sadanaut; meaning if they got it wrong, they had to move on to the next person with the same or a new question off the sheet.
Ibtisam, Manager Procurement & Administration, who joined three weeks ago, managed to complete her sheet within the given time limit. Although it didn’t strike as a surprise as her inner socialite already got to know everyone in attendance well enough to win the game.
Activity #2: No Smiling Ice-breaker 🤣
The title says it all; you smile, you lose. Participants had to make each other laugh with their favorite jokes, “real-life” stories, and even imitations of each other. Sarfraz Baig, our Head of CX, and Ibtisam, the Head of Procurement, were the only two participants who managed to keep a straight face while the other participants tried their best to get them to crack a smile. They are definitely the funniest Sadanauts on the team. 😂
