One Word Each
Remote or in person

One word for how you're arriving. Round the room, no explaining.

Everyone gives a single word for how they are arriving, or leaving, with no explanation allowed. It takes two minutes for a room of forty and it tells you more about where a group actually is than any amount of asking how everyone is.
