Engaging your audience in a Google Meet live session can feel like a juggling act sometimes, right? But it's so important! When people are really involved, they tend to enjoy the session more, and, trust me, they remember what they learned. This not only keeps them coming back but also makes your storytelling sessions much more impactful and memorable.
Get Geographical with Magic Maps
Magic Maps is like your secret weapon to kick off an engaging storytelling session on Google Meet. Imagine starting with, 'Hey everyone, where are you tuning in from today?' and then watching as everyone's location pops up on a real-time world map. It's not just cool to see where everyone is—it sparks conversations and breaks the ice instantly. Or imagine asking, 'What's your dream travel destination?' You’ll get to know your audience better, and they feel connected, like they’re on a storytelling journey around the world together!
Dive Deeper with Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls are like Power Polls but with a twist—instead of options, let people type what they think. Pose a question open to interpretation, like 'What do you think happens next in our story?' Viewers will love the freedom to add their takes. As responses flood in, you might find a surprising direction to take the tale, keeping the session super fresh and audience-centric. And, it makes attendees feel valued, as their voices are heard loud and clear!
Get Instant Feedback with Power Polls
Want to know what your live audience is thinking, like, right now? Power Polls are perfect for this. Toss out a question about your session, maybe asking them how they're liking a particular story arc or character. You can list options like 'Love it!' or 'Meh' and watch the votes come in. It’s a real-time pulse check that can guide your storytelling right then and there. Plus, it keeps people engaged, knowing their opinion might shape the next part of the story.
Spin Up Some Fun with Winner Wheel
Want the audience to get a bit more chatty? Try the Winner Wheel! It's fantastic for adding a bit of excitement, like a draw in real-time. Maybe you want to offer a small prize or just a shoutout. Spin the wheel and pick a random winner from those who've been chatting away in the session. You could use it when a story transitions—ask a question related to the tale and spin to see who gets picked. It’s a fun, interactive break that keeps people wanting to contribute just to see their names pop up.
Create Collective Thoughts with Wonder Words
Wonder Words is about sculpting an immediate visual of your audience’s thoughts through a live word cloud. It's great for capturing single-word reactions to a part of the story. Ask them 'Describe our hero in one word' or 'What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear fairytale?' Words will float and grow on screen based on popularity, showing you what themes or feelings are resonating with everyone. This visual feedback is not only fun but gives you insight into the emotional pulse of the group.
