The indefinite pronoun 'everybody' (and 'everyone') is the third person, singular (everybody, everyone); the correct verb form is: has.

Example: Everybody has a nametag.

Both can be correct. It depends on what you are trying to convey.

If you are describing a past event, use "was."Was is the simple past tense form of "to be" you'd want if you were saying things like "Everyone was lounging by the pool," or "Everyone in the class was waiting patiently for the teacher."

If you are describing how you wished something would be, use "were." In this case, you want to use what's called the subjunctive form of the verb "to be". The subjunctive tense is used to describe something that is desired/wished for but is not certain, such as saying "The world would be better if everyone were nicer to eachother," or "I wish everyone were more patient waiting for the teacher."
