However, it doesn\u2019t mean that events aren\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-c38ee26f-ac5e-413b-aad4-b85de6748b10\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-c38ee26f-ac5e-413b-aad4-b85de6748b10\" id=\"hs-cta-c38ee26f-ac5e-413b-aad4-b85de6748b10\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/3811420\/c38ee26f-ac5e-413b-aad4-b85de6748b10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-c38ee26f-ac5e-413b-aad4-b85de6748b10\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/3811420\/c38ee26f-ac5e-413b-aad4-b85de6748b10.png\"  alt=\"&gt;&gt; Hire Entertainers For Virtual Events\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(3811420, 'c38ee26f-ac5e-413b-aad4-b85de6748b10', {}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/a><\/span>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not embrace the situation and <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/dublin-zoom-party-entertainers-for-hire\">plan a virtual event<\/a>. With a bit of creativity, these can be really fun and help foster a real team spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you get started, we\u2019ve made a list of online party ideas and activities you can do at your next (first?) virtual corporate event. Some are stand-alone ideas while others will work best in combination with other activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corporate Zoom party ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to a successful virtual event is to not make it feel like another Zoom call. Everyone is getting bored of &#8216;just&#8217; Zoom calls (Zoom fatigue is now a thing\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, plan activities and interactive things for people to do. Everyone needs to feel involved. Don\u2019t worry if it isn\u2019t perfect. This is new for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro-tip<\/strong>: Check out this article by <a href=\"https:\/\/carlstromproductions.com\/the-four-keys-to-producing-your-best-virtual-event\/\">Carlstrom Productions for some easy production tips.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Guess the song<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept is simple. Simply play a tune and ask everyone to guess it. The first person or team to guess wins a point. At the end of all the rounds, the person or team with the most points wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this game work properly, try to ensure no one is cheating. However, even with an app like&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shazam.com\/apps\" target=\"_blank\">Shazam<\/a>, you might still lose to your music fanatic colleagues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep it simple, just get everyone to answer in the chat section. However, to make it more interactive (and therefore more fun) you want your guests to shout out the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a small group (5 to 10 max) leaving everyone with their mic on might be feasible. But for larger groups, you\u2019ll want to elect team leaders and have them answer on behalf of their team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro-tip<\/strong>: To encourage participation, make sure you have prizes to give out to all the winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 20-30 minutes<\/li><li><strong>Group size<\/strong>: 20 people+<\/li><li><strong>Planning<\/strong>: DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Music bingo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Music bingo is similar to regular bingo except instead of calling out numbers, you play a random song. If the song is on your card you win the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first person to complete their card wins a prize. It\u2019s fun and it\u2019s a good excuse to listen to some great music (or music that\u2019s so bad&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">it\u2019s become great<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either plan this activity yourself or, for some extra fun and peace of mind, hire a music bingo entertainer to plan and host it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re based in Ireland, you can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/private-parties\/music-bingo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book a music bingo entertainer<\/a>&nbsp;directly through the PartyWizz website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro-tip<\/strong>: As your event is digital, if possible, try to give out physical prizes. It will make the event feel that little bit more like a regular event. You can either drop off the prize at the office or mail it to the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 30-40 minutes<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;20 people+<\/li><li><strong>Planning:&nbsp;<\/strong>Booking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Hiring a magician<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Magicians can be hired to perform magic over Zoom. Although it may not sound possible, they\u2019re still able to wow people over the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that it isn\u2019t their usual show. It\u2019s a show specifically designed to be performed over the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re based in Ireland, you can&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/private-parties\/magicians\" target=\"_blank\">book a magician<\/a>&nbsp;for a Zoom show directly through the PartyWizz website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 30 minutes to an hour<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;20 people+<\/li><li><strong>Planning:&nbsp;<\/strong>Booking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Hiring a caricaturist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can hire an artist to draw live caricatures of your guests over Zoom. The drawings are done on a tablet, which means it\u2019s broadcast on a live feed for everyone to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is something truly magical in seeing a drawing come to life\u2026 and of course comical because it\u2019s your colleague or Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry. Only the brave need volunteer. But those who do get an unforgettable souvenir!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re based in Ireland, you can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/corporate\/caricaturists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book a caricaturist<\/a>&nbsp;directly through the PartyWizz website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 1 to 2 hours<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5-20 people+<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;Booking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Pub quiz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can host a traditional pub quiz over zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply plan a list of questions and trivia for your guests to answer. The trick is making sure no one cheats! One option is to only choose questions that can\u2019t be answered via Google. For example, what year did the HR Manager join the company?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can plan a series of questions that your employees need to Google. Think of these as puzzles rather than trivia questions. Each puzzle might require multiple searches to be answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 30 min to 1 hour<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;10-20 people+<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Murder mystery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can play a game of murder mystery online with your team. They come in all shapes and sizes with varying levels of difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some are free, while others you need to pay for. Just make sure you check the reviews before starting the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro-tip<\/strong>: Make sure your game isn\u2019t too long. Try to keep it under one hour. Otherwise, Zoom fatique may set in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: one hour<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Virtual escape rooms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to murder mystery games, you can plan a digital escape room event with your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find plenty of free and paid options online. Once again make sure you check the reviews before getting started. Especially if you\u2019re paying for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can make your own with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/forms\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google forms<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jotform.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jot forms<\/a>. You can find tutorials for this online. The concept is simple, create a list of puzzles to be solved in order to unlock the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: if you have multiple teams, why not have an escape competition. The fastest team to escape wins a prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: one hour<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Zoom call with Santa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re hosting an event around Christmas, why not plan a zoom call with Santa? Ask your employees (or your employees&#8217; kids) to dial a &#8216;mystery&#8217; number, or click on a &#8216;mystery&#8217; link, which, to their surprise, will be answered by Santa himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re based in Ireland, you can&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/corporate\/santa-claus\" target=\"_blank\">book a zoom session with Santa<\/a>&nbsp;directly through PartyWizz. Be sure to make your reservation as early as possible. He\u2019s very popular and his calendar fills up fast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 1-2 hour+<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;20+<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;Booking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Silly team videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Get all of the different teams to film silly videos to be shown at your event. You can then compile these into a single video or keep them as separate files to be played throughout the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the perfect interlude between serious presentations. It helps lift the mood and it breaks the mould of traditional zoom meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: Unless you\u2019re very good at acting, keep the videos short. Aim for under a minute. 2 or 3 max. If they drag on for too long, they will lose entertainment value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: Each 30 seconds<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;Any<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Zoom DIYs &amp; Tutorials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Get your employees to share a DIY project with others over Zoom. Don\u2019t do anything too difficult &amp; keep it short. Ideally, everyone should be able to follow along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, if you want to keep things business-related, you can also use this as a skill-sharing opportunity. For example, one of your employees could give a Photoshop tutorial to everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just make sure you keep it entertaining. For example, you could teach people how to Photoshop the CEO into famous movie scenes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 5minutes<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Play a card game online<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple websites allow you to play card games online for free. If your team enjoys playing cards (Poker &amp; Cards Against Humanity are among the most popular\u2026 but any game is possible) this is a great option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 30 mins to one hour<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Book a singer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/corporate\/singers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hire a singer<\/a>&nbsp;to perform a show through zoom. With a good microphone and good amplifiers, the sound will be as good as if you were there in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to plan a list of requests and sing along with the entertainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re based in Ireland, you can&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/corporate\/singers\" target=\"_blank\">book a singer<\/a>&nbsp;to perform over Zoom directly through the PartyWizz website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 40 mins to hour+<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;20+<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Spot the difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can play a simple game of spot the difference (or rather a game of spot the missing object).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply lay out a number of different objects on the table. Get the audience to look at them. Then turn off the camera and remove two or three items. The audience then needs to guess which objects are missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This game probably isn\u2019t enough on its own, but it\u2019s a simple activity you can add to a series of other games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 15 minutes<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Dance off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Get your entire team to dance to some music (ideally the same music) and record the result. Trust us on this one, it\u2019s hilarious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this activity to be successful, you need to find the right balance between too many participants and too few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the one hand, you don\u2019t want individuals to be overly recognisable. It might make them feel too self-conscious. On the other hand, you also want everyone to fit in a single \u201cTile\u201d view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Zoom can only display up to 49 tiles on a single screen. This means your ideal range is anywhere from 10-12 to 49 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 10 minutes<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;10+<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Virtual after-work drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another easy one which works best on a team level. Simply get everyone to attend a virtual after-work drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it slightly more original and fun, ask everyone to prepare a cocktail and then share the recipe over zoom. You can then elect which cocktail everyone is going to try the following week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the after-work call might last an hour or so, this activity will only last 10 to 20 minutes. For that reason, you\u2019re probably going to want to combine this activity with another more interactive one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, don\u2019t fall into the trap of talking about work. The goal is to relax and to spend time with your colleagues. It\u2019s not a business meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 10 mins<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Board games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can play traditional board games online using a (free) service, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.boardgamearena.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">board game area<\/a>. No app to install either. It\u2019s all website based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro-tip<\/strong>: Make sure the game you choose doesn\u2019t last too long. Keep it under one hour. A five hour Monopoly game probably isn\u2019t what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 10 mins to one hour<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Watch a movie together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Netflix has recently launched a new service, \u201cNetflix Party\u201d, that allows people to watch movies together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your team has a cult movie or TV show that they always reference, why not use this opportunity to watch it together. Expect everyone to be quoting it flawlessly on Monday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 2 hours<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning<\/strong>: DIY<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. Play a video game<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The list of video games you could play is endless. However, if some of your team members aren\u2019t regular players, you\u2019ll want to choose an easy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you\u2019ll need to make sure it\u2019s compatible across different devices (Macs tend to not be great for video games\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.innersloth.com\/gameAmongUs.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Among us<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jackboxgames.com\/drawful-two\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drawful 2<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.team17.com\/games\/overcooked-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Overcooked 2<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find some more video game ideas in this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/rotacloud\/10-video-games-you-should-be-playing-with-your-coworkers-d1e763a0a1c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">medium article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 10 mins<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19. Attend virtual gigs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of virtual events has grown exponentially since the lockdown started. Why not attend one of them with your team? For example a comedy event or live music. There is definitely something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that the entry price is usually close to nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 1hour+<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 10<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;Booking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">20. Talent Night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a very simple concept. Ask your employees if they would be willing to perform for the rest of the company over Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comedians, musicians, dancers\u2026 Even if you\u2019re a small company, you\u2019ll be surprised at the amount of talent your employees have between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just be aware that performing some things online is tricky. We\u2019re very used to YouTubers having high production values but this is a DIY show (and it\u2019s live), so don\u2019t expect the same quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip<\/strong>: Keep each act short, perhaps under three minutes. And don\u2019t put on too many acts. Half an hour is long enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 30min+<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;10-20+<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;Booking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">21. Digital Casino Night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily plan a casino night for your guests that takes place entirely online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably don\u2019t want to use a gambling site, instead set up different Zoom breakout rooms for all the different games that can be played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example a poker room (likely more than one), a roulette room, a blackjack room and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then find the software for these different games on different sites and link to them in the breakout zoom rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We generally recommend to not use actual money but if you do, opt for a buy-in system (i.e for \u20ac10 you get x number of chips).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funds that are raised can contribute to your chosen charity or can help fund the next party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Duration<\/strong>: 2 hours+<\/li><li><strong>Group size:<\/strong>&nbsp;20+<\/li><li><strong>Planning:<\/strong>&nbsp;DIY<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">22. Fake\/Comedy Awards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your event is an end of year party, why not host fake awards (think Oscars or Golden Globes). This is a silly favourite of ours at PartyWizz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create fake awards for different categories and either choose a winner ahead of time or elect them on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just keep all the awards positive. It\u2019s a party after all. You don\u2019t want to make the winner feel bad. For example, &#8216;most likely to be at their desk at 9:00:00 every Monday morning&#8217; or &#8216;most likely to end up prime minister&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, don\u2019t drag out this activity for too long. To keep it entertaining, make it short and to the point.
