Competitive Challenges for Team Spirit
Spark some friendly competition with activities that allow team members to show off and perhaps even find a new level of drive or ambition. As employees compete, they’re also learning about each other and bonding over wins, losses, and strategy.
Scavenger Hunts: Work together to find clues and solve puzzles.
Egg Tosses: Practice coordination, teamwork, and communication when you toss eggs back and forth—don’t let them break!
Office Olympics: Create a series of mini challenges around office supplies and other common items. Race in office chairs, see whose paper airplane goes the furthest, or race to pour a conference table’s worth of coffee without spilling a drop.
Creative and Artistic Team Bonding
These activities are all about pairing collaboration with individual expression. Get your team to open up and share their ideas, and you’ll be better able to pinpoint each person’s strengths.
Paint by Numbers: Paint as a group, with each person tackling a smaller section of a group-sized art piece.
Pumpkin Carving Competitions: Tailor your activities to the season by including options like a pumpkin carving competition with corporate or industry themes.
Build a Sculpture: Use random materials to complete this unconventional challenge, where each mini team builds a structure that must meet certain height or other architectural requirements.
Giving Back with Philanthropic Activities
Team-building activities that focus on giving back to the community are good for internal morale. They can help create or nurture relationships with businesses and organizations around your home city. Sharing a love for a cause and witnessing the results of hard work and volunteerism can also help create bonds and reinforce your company culture.
Food Bank Events: Book your team to help the local food bank unload donations or pack bags and boxes for families in need.
Charity Walks: Meet up for a charity walk or run and motivate your team to get their daily steps in while raising money for a good cause.
Clothing, Toy, or Supply Drives: Help gather, organize, and distribute the items your community needs most.
Tasting and Relaxation Experiences
Give your team a break from the fast-paced weekday grind or reward high performers with experiences that promote relaxation and bonding.
Beer and Wine Tastings: Host a tasting event—or partner with a local brewery—and have employees test and treat their palates.
Cooking Challenges: Give participants a mystery box of produce and protein and see who comes up with the best dish.
Yoga or Meditation Sessions: Bring in a yoga or meditation expert to guide the team through self-care rituals.
Virtual Team Building for Remote Teams
For companies with remote or hybrid team members, there are virtual team-building activities that help everyone connect and stay engaged.
Virtual Escape Rooms: Work together to figure out why you’re trapped and how you and your teammates can escape the virtual trap.
Online Game Nights: Tap into platforms like Jackbox or Kahoot! to host virtual trivia games and other team-building exercises.
Digital Coffee Breaks: These casual virtual meetups are a chance to touch base with teammates and chat outside of work meetings and project threads.
