You found our list of fun virtual team building activities.
Virtual team building activities are group games, challenges and exercises via platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. Example activities include icebreaker questions, virtual campfires, and virtual escape rooms for teams. The purpose of these virtual activities is to build relationships, improve communication, and boost employee morale. These activities can be free or paid, and are also called "virtual team activities," “online team building activities”, “remote team building activities” and “virtual team bonding activities.”
These activities are online versions of team building activities and are similar to online team building games, virtual training games, and virtual group activities, and support virtual employee engagement.
This list includes:
Let's get to it!
Hosted events allow you to engage employees without doing major prep work or leading the meeting. If you want to save organizers time and ensure a well-run event, then you can outsource events to a professional team building company.
These events are all about games and competition. Teams race against each other and the clock to win, and a host gives out tasks or keeps score. These experiences build trust, fuel motivation, and strengthen team dynamics.
Solverance is an immersive virtual escape room that challenges your team to find a way out of an unsettling office together in less than 60 minutes.
The game follows a plot that is much like the TV show that inspired it, which has a similar name.
Teammates play as employees of an organization that requires its workers to undergo a procedure that splits their “work selves,” and “outside of work selves.” To escape the office and win the game, your team must interact with characters, collect clues, solve complex puzzles, and unravel the mystery before time runs out.
Solverance includes everything you need for an unforgettable virtual adventure:
Whether your employees love the show the game is based on or have never seen an episode, this event is fun, interactive, and engaging for all participants.

Online Office Games is a form of "Office Olympics" that includes spirited challenges, virtual team games and activities. Example activities include fast-paced trivia, Go Get It lightning scavenger hunts, and a communication game called "Can You Hear Me Now?"
Online Office Games is energetic, competitive, and everything you need to build some serious team engagement while working from home. It is also our most popular event type with 150,000+ guests to date, and a 4.95/5 star rating based on 8400+ reviews. We often hear from participants that these virtual office games were the most fun they ever had in a Zoom room.
Your team experience includes:

Some of these events include light competition, but the main focus is on connection. Sharing a unique experience gives remote teams a strong foundation for building relationships.
We created tiny campfire as a way to engage remote teams in a VIP experience that includes s'mores and an actual small campfire.
Before the event, we send your team members a s'mores kit that includes graham crackers, mini marshmallows, Hershey chocolate, and a tiny tealight candle. Then, on "camp day" your team members log in to a video conference room for 90 minutes of games and storytelling. One of our seasoned facilitators runs the event from start to finish, keeping the mood light and encouraging participation.
Your tiny campfire experience includes:
The experience is popular throughout the year, and teams especially love to book it for National S'mores Day on August 10.
Learn more about tiny campfire.
Your coworkers have likely heard of wine, beer, or coffee tasting, but water tasting is a much more unique concept. In this rare experience, remote team members will receive water samples from around the world, like glacier melt in Norway and salty sparkling spring water from Spain. Then, a water sommelier will meet the group online and guide them through the sampling, explaining how to distinguish the quality of water and how to best pair it with food. The kit also includes a test strip so that participants can gauge the quality of their home water. This event is sure to be unique, remarkable, and out of the ordinary and leave a lasting impression on your group. Plus, this type of tasting is more inclusive to team members who abstain from drinking alcohol.

There can be overlap between online activities, games, and exercises, however activities are often loosely structured and focus more on enjoyment and connection than task completion. Here are online team building activities to help remote teams with any budget collaborate, communicate, and connect.
The following virtual activities work well for teams of all sizes.
Virtual Team Building Bingo is a fun team building activity for conference calls. The game is familiar, a little nostalgic, and perfect for both kids and adults.
Here is a template for your first game:
To play:
Here are rules and additional templates for icebreaker Bingo and Online Team Building Bingo.
Lightning Scavenger Hunts are a fun and quick virtual team building activity. To do this activity with remote teams, invite your coworkers to a virtual meeting and start firing off clues like "cuddle your pet," "show a dictionary," or "get your favorite mug."
The first player to complete each clue gets a point. You can score by groups too.
For the best experience, ask follow-up questions about surprising or intriguing items.
Check out our full instructions for lightning scavenger hunts and virtual scavenger hunts.
Mister Rogers Calls are casual 1:1 video chats between virtual teammates. The name comes from the goal: to get to know your remote work neighbors.
We have been doing Mister Rogers Calls for years, and follow a simple format. First, we use the Donut app to randomly assign conversation partners every two weeks. Then, team members schedule a time to chat together.
The call itself should be 30 minutes, over video, and avoid work topics. Encourage your remote coworkers to talk about hobbies and interests outside of the job. For example, you can talk about how long you can keep a houseplant alive.
Something in Common is a challenge that encourages your remote employees to learn more about each other and find common ties. For this game, assign your teammates into small groups and then have each group identify the three most unique things they have in common. For example, a group might find a common love for Shakespeare's Macbeth, experience with childhood violin lessons, and a disdain for fiery Cheetos. If you want to do multiple rounds, then you can make the virtual activity more challenging by removing broad categories like movies, books, and food.
This activity works for groups of any size because you can split big groups into smaller sections.
Here are more icebreaker games for work.
Here are a few virtual activities that are good for small groups of ten or less, twenty participants maximum.
PowerPoints do not always have to be boring. Hosting a PowerPoint Party requires each participant to make a fun short presentation on a topic they are passionate about. For example, “A 5-Year Plan to Become a Professional Treasure Hunter” or “Which Taylor Swift Album Would Each Executive Be?"
Teammates get to show off their quirks and passions, making remote work feel a little more human.
Ideally, each team member should have at least five minutes to share. If you have a small team, then you can cover all the slideshows in a single social. However, you are also welcome to spread out the presentations over multiple meetings.
Here are more presentation games.
When it comes to praise at work, people tend to respond in one of three ways.
Each member of your team will likely fit into one of the above categories. However, one thing will secretly unify your people regardless of category: they love getting praise. Start a praise train where each teammate compliments each other's work in succession and watch the employee engagement take off.
For example, you could praise someone on their work ethic, and that person could praise a colleague on a successful client call, and that person could praise someone for writing a great blog article and so on.
This activity is excellent for virtual team bonding with remote workers.
Pancakes vs Waffles is a fun activity I learned on a group trip. The mechanics revolve around friendly debate and unanimous decision making, which can be helpful for remote team building activities.
To play Pancakes vs Waffles:
You can play until your team is ready to move on. Pancakes vs Waffles is a great way to engage the introverts on your team, because folks can answer silently in the chat or via poll and still feel like part of the group.
You can play Pancakes vs Waffles over Zoom, Webex, Google Hangouts and other virtual meeting platforms.
Here is an example game of Pancakes vs Waffles that demonstrates how it might go.
Virtual Escape Rooms are popular online team building activities because they include social elements, problem-solving skills and teamwork. For example, your team may have to figure out how to pull off an art heist and escape or break out of a jail cell. The activities are brainy and interactive and feel good when you win.
Online escape games work well with small groups because each player will have more of a chance to contribute and participate.
Here is a list of virtual escape rooms with both free and paid options.
The following virtual activities are good for large groups of 40 or more participants. You can also check out this much longer list of virtual games to play with large groups.
"Who da baby?" is a quick virtual game you can play on Zoom or over a platform like email or Slack.
Instructions:
"Who da baby" is playable in any size group but is ideal for big groups because having more players provides more of a challenge.
By the way, the toddler in the photo is me at age three working on this article.
Word clouds are pictures made of words, where the most common words appear bigger. These tools show group thoughts at a glance, making it easy to spot similarities.
For example, if I asked my team for one word to describe our work style during the busiest time of the year, then the word "coffee-fueled" might be at the center in giant font.
Here's how to do word clouds with remote teams:
This idea is best suited for large groups because the more participants you have, the bigger your data set will be, and the more likely there will be patterns.
Majority Rules is a simple but lively activity where the group votes on opinion-based questions, then players try to predict the most popular answer.
Questions might include:
For each question, set up two polls with the same options. The first poll will be participants’ personal choices, and the second will be what they think will be the majority vote.
You can play for points and keep score, or keep the game relaxed and discovery-focused.
While the game is technically playable with smaller groups, having more players makes the game harder and more interesting since participants are less likely to know all their teammates’ opinions.
Here are quick virtual icebreakers and activities for remote teams to introduce each other to new teammates or warm up in meetings. You can also check out this list of Zoom icebreakers.
One simple way to start team building virtually is to add a round of icebreaker questions at the beginning of video conference calls. You should plan for 30 seconds per participant.
You can use this random icebreaker generator for your prompts:
Here are a few virtual icebreakers to start with:
For successful virtual icebreakers, the host should designate who is next throughout the activity.
Here is a list of icebreakers for virtual meetings and a master list of icebreaker questions.
This activity is an online team building version of Truth or Dare.
How to play:
You can use this tool to generate prompts:
Typically, a successful player from the round leads the next prompt.
When we train our host team to do icebreakers, we teach them to stay in the realm of "green light" questions that do not get too personal or have the potential to make team members uncomfortable. Blackout Truth or Dare has a built-in "green light" mechanism because participants ask the whole group questions instead of singling out any one player, and anyone who does not want to participate can pause their video and return to the game next round.
Best Thing on My Desk is an easy online icebreaker that gives your team a peek into each other’s workspaces and personalities.
One by one, each team member shares an unexpected object on their desk or in their home office that brings them joy, either by holding up the items during a Zoom call, or dropping pictures of their treasures into a group chat.
Maybe their "happy thing" is a tiny bonsai tree they have kept alive against all odds, a souvenir spoon collection from every road trip they have ever taken, or a rubber duck dressed as a pirate that has been their unofficial desk mascot for years.
Each teammate should explain the significance of their "happy thing" and the story behind it. Other teammates can ask questions and chime in with their own related stories.
Team games are playful challenges with clear rules and objectives. These competitions encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and fun through gamification. Here are some free games to play with virtual teams.
Here are games for competitive remote teams that love a challenge. These activities boost strategy, speed, and teamwork while keeping the energy high.
Can You Hear Me Now is a fun and engaging virtual team building game for large groups. The game happens in a virtual conference room, where one person is nominated as a speaker, and everyone else is an artist. The speaker randomly generates an image and then uses words to describe the image to the artists. The artists must then try to draw what they think the image looks like.
There is only one guideline with this game, and that is the speaker can only use geometric shapes. For instance, the player may tell the group to draw three equidistant triangles and then draw a large circle. Can You Hear Me Now is excellent for improving communication and critical thinking skills.
While the game has collaborative elements, it tends to be highly competitive because players try to be the first to guess the object, and groups try to complete more drawings than all the other teams.
Here is a step by step guide to Can you hear me now?.
A Typing Speed Race is a way to show off your lightning fingers and flex one of the most important remote work skills: typing quickly and accurately.
Your team members can take the typing test and post scores on Slack, email, or other communication channels. You can also do a Typing Speed Relay, where you add up team totals.
Try the 1-Minute challenge on typingtest.com.
Here are more virtual minute-to-win-it activities.
The Longest Word is a quick virtual game you can do on video chats and conference calls. To play, arrange your people into teams and challenge them to spell a very long word.
For example, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is as hard to say as it is to spell. The team that gets closest to the correct spelling, judged by an arbitrary eye, wins. The winning team can then bet double or nothing by guessing the meaning of the word too.
Use this long word generator for your game:
This list has more vocabulary activities for teams.
Here are a few games where remote employees must work together to win, strengthening collaboration and problem-solving skills along the way.
The Tree or Bob Ross game mechanics are similar to 20 Questions or I Spy. To start this virtual activity, one player chooses an identity, which can be anything from an object to a concept. On a road trip to Canada, one friend chose to be a small rubber ball. Explore your imagination, and feel free to choose really difficult identities.
The player with the identity is known as The Post, and all other players can bombard The Post with unlimited questions to uncover the identity.
The opening question is, "is it more like a tree, or more like Bob Ross?", to which The Post must answer only by naming one or the other. For example, if the identity was a sunflower, then the answer is "more like a tree." If the identity is Pinocchio then you have a choice to make, and must commit to one.
The following questions incorporate a new word into the game. For example, "is it more like a tree, or more like a pile of leaves?" which can provide clues toward the final answer.
Here are more question games to play with remote teams.
Werewolf is a game of speaking, careful listening and voting as you seek to survive the night.
To start the game, players draw roles of werewolf, villager, medic or seer. Werewolves do the eating, villagers vote werewolves off the island, medics can save a player and seers can peer deep into another player's soul to reveal their wolf-status.
Then, the game master announces that night has fallen, and players close their eyes. The game master asks the werewolves to wake up and select a victim, followed by the medic, who points to one person to save, and the seer, who points to one person to reveal. Finally, the game master announces the sun is rising and reveals whether a villager became wolf-grub during the night.
Anyone the werewolves eat becomes a ghost and cannot speak for the remainder of the game. The survivors debate who might be a werewolf, and then vote to either eliminate someone or skip the round. Repeat until you only have villagers or wolves left.
Here are more detailed instructions on how to play Werewolf.
Hosting a virtual murder mystery can be a great break from the monotony of work to help teammates bond. You can sign up for a virtual murder mystery experience with a reputable provider and choose the type of crime the team will solve, or find a free script online and play through the prompts together.
For large groups, a virtual murder mystery works best when the players split into smaller teams who must compete to solve it the fastest.
Learn about how to do a virtual murder mystery.
Exercises are repeatable, structured activities that help teams learn. Unlike games, these practices have no clear winner, and unlike activities, they focus on skill-building and strengthening coworker relationships.
These exercises help remote teams build trust, connection, and communication. You can regularly do these tasks to learn new and interesting facts about your peers.
A shared map is a simple yet engaging way to encourage team collaboration in a large group. You will use Google Maps to create a collaborative map, then teammates will add markers at various locations depending on the category.
Example categories:
You can also try a version that does not rely on personal experiences. As a team, choose a destination, then have each participant drop a pin on an interesting business or landmark. Each choice reveals insights into your people's interests and personalities, no travel experience or "origin stories" required.
You can snap a screenshot of your most frequently used emojis and upload it for your team to see. If, like me, you and the folks on your remote team gravitate toward shrugs, flexes, Canada flags and Pokémon balls, then it is fun to see the record of it.
You could also play a quick game like "Guess the Emoji Board." Here is how you play:
If you are looking for ways to make a virtual meeting fun or engage a virtual team in ways that are not lame, then a quick round of emoji ranking can help.
Two Truths and One Lie is one of the most common remote team building exercises. The activity is conference call friendly, since all you need is a reliable WiFi connection and a little cunning deceit.
For the remote work version, give each participant two minutes to prepare two truths and one lie. For example:
Number two is the obvious lie; it has been at least 3.6 KG.
Have each participant share three facts and guess which one is the lie. You don't really have to keep track of points for this exercise, because the fun is in learning about each other.
Two Truths and One Lie is also a fun virtual game to play with drinks.
Here are more online drinking games that are work-friendly.
These exercises allow remote teams to practice and sharpen skills they need to work together effectively, like communication or problem-solving.
The Out-of-Order Challenge is a fast-paced exercise that helps team members hone their strategy, delegation, and attention to detail.
Teams must complete a list of steps in the correct order, but the instructions are jumbled.
For example:
The correct sequence of steps would be:
Only one teammate can perform a step at a time, and if two players attempt the same step or go out of order, then the team must restart the process.
Teams have a maximum of five minutes to carry out the instructions, and coordination is key.
What Would You Do? is an exercise that mixes individual decision-making with group-decision making.
How to play:
Scenarios can be work specific and practical:
Or, the situations can be silly and just for fun:
This exercise helps remote teams make decisions faster and learn more about their teammates by hearing how they think.
Here are more what if questions you can draw from for inspiration.
In high school, I joined the Debate Club and attended weekly meetings. For the entire year, we had exactly one debate with another school. I don't remember the topic, but I remember the guy who won spoke with fiery passion.
Lesson being, sometimes it is not what you say, but how you say it that sticks with people. And when you bring energy and excitement to a virtual space, you tend to make an impression.
To run a successful Debate Club for virtual teams, you can:
Here are some good debate club topics:
As your Debate Club grows in sophistication, invite more team members to join. The experience will help develop important communication skills and relationships.
Here are more ways to foster connection and engagement on virtual teams. These ideas are high level concepts and event types that can include elements of team games, activities, and exercises as organizers see fit.

Ten quiet minutes during an otherwise busy day can be an effective way to bring your people together and build strong remote teams. You can achieve these results with a guided meditation session.
Here is how:
Meditation is usually a solo activity, but doing it together creates a shared moment of calm and can help the team feel more connected.
Although one of the simplest online team building ideas, this activity can go a long way to put your remote team in the right headspace and instantly feel closer to their peers.
Here is an explanation on Youtube.
Virtual happy hours are relaxed social calls between teams. These events typically take place at the end of the work day so that teammates can unwind. Drinks are optional, but good conversation is a must. Organizers typically plan games and activities to get folks off of mute.
Fun ideas:

If you have team members who love to read, then consider starting an online team book club. Teams that already enjoy reading will be enthusiastic about this team building activity, and folks will join in naturally.
We ran a remote employee book club for several years. In addition to reading and discussing many fascinating novels, here are some of the spirited conversations that happened during meetings:
We recommend either covering the cost of the book or providing a stipend so that participants can buy a snack, such as $15 per meeting.
Here are book club games you could play.
Volunteering is a fail-safe way to bring a team together. Scheduling a virtual volunteer day allows larger groups to collaborate on meaningful, impactful projects.
A few ideas:
The best part is that an online volunteer day allows your team to come together for a cause. Helping humanity and getting to hangout with coworkers serves up a double dose of the warm fuzzies.
Learn more about volunteering online.
Celebrations matter, especially for remote teams. Virtual parties give coworkers a reason to gather, recognize wins, and have fun together, making remote work feel less isolating. You can also browse this longer list of virtual celebration ideas for teams.
Celebrating birthdays in an online office helps coworkers feel seen and appreciated as individuals, even from afar.
The essentials for a successful online birthday party are:
If you have a large team, then planning virtual birthday parties may become redundant. Instead, you can unite the April babies around the shared birthday month, and the same for the other 11 groups too.
Here is a list of ideas for virtual birthday parties.
Remote retirement parties or "farewell parties" are online gatherings to send off a teammate. These parties generally occur during work hours and include fun virtual team building activities and games that revolve around the retiree, like personalized trivia.

Holiday parties are often the biggest celebration of the year for online offices, and the busiest season for us at teambuilding.com!
These festive gatherings bring remote teams together to celebrate the season, reflect on the year, and strengthen team bonds.
Key elements for a perfect party:
Sending thoughtful add-ons like cocktail or mocktail kits, surprise gifts, or meal stipends can create excitement before the event even starts, and makes the event feel less like a Zoom meeting and more like a party.
Learn how to throw a virtual holiday party.
Our team building hosts have led virtual team building experiences for tens of thousands of remote teams. Here is our host's best advice for successfully engaging your employees.
“Have that camera on and, if you can, mic on too! It's one thing to be in the meeting, but it's another to be INVOLVED in the meeting. Smiles and words of praise suggested!”-Sonya Stewart, teambuilding.com Event Host
“Be 100% prepared for whatever activity you're planning to do -- don't leave things to figure them out in the moment. The biggest challenge with a virtual meeting is keeping folks engaged and excited while they're sitting at home alone on a screen, so having to rearrange something in the middle of the game will kill the momentum.Practice any copy/pasting or screenshares you need to do so you're comfy with them (and no asking if everyone can see your screen! trust that they do cause you tested it beforehand!), get on the meeting early and make sure you know where you're clicking and you've got everything set up, have your browser tabs and notes or script ready, and come in with confidence and energy -- the team will follow your vibe and have a much better time!”
-Andrew Orsie, teambuilding.com Event Host
“Mix your teams up, engage participants with people that they maybe don't see all the time. This gets people more easily and actively on-camera and off-mute, and puts everyone on a level playing field with answering questions and having an opportunity to participate/engage.”-Andrea Arvanigian, teambuilding.com Event Host
“My top tip is to integrate fun and casual connections like virtual coffee breaks or quick icebreakers. These moments allow team members to bond over non-work-related topics. A little personal connection goes a long way in creating an inclusive team.”-Michelle Carra, teambuilding.com Event Host
“Listen to your participants as if they're running the show! You can get a lot of free info that'll clue you in to little adjustments and/or interactions you can create to make it feel like a more personal experience for them in the moment.”-Leighton Schlanger, teambuilding.com Event Host
“My top virtual team building tip is to have fun! Which might be an obvious answer but I think that when facilitating a team building event, the focus can be on just leading participants through it. But the best events are when even the host is focused on having a good time themselves because the attendees will have a good time if you are.”-Paisley Carswell, teambuilding.com Event Host
We also asked our host team to explain the differences between remote team building for large and small groups. Then, we gathered their top best practices and organized them into the helpful table below.
| Feature | Small Groups | Large Groups |
| Interaction Type | Personal, intimate | Broad, structured |
| Best For | Relationship-building among teams or departments | Company-wide engagement & morale boost |
| Facilitation | High-touch, interactive | Needs structured hosting |
| Tech Needs | Simple (Zoom) | Advanced (breakout rooms, polls, gamification) |
| Examples | Escape rooms, deep discussion games | Trivia, virtual retreats, large-scale workshops |
| Participation | One-by-one answers, out loud, calling on specific teammates | All-at-once answers via poll, raised hands, or chat. Smaller group discussion in breakout rooms. Host calls for a few volunteers to share out |
| Timing | Many short rounds, to hold participants' attention | Few long rounds to give every teammate the chance to participate |
Virtual team building activities are a great way to make virtual meetings fun, boost morale, and build community. These virtual activities include free and paid options and can take anywhere from 1 minute to several hours. I recommend following The 8% Rule, which states that you should spend about 8% of the time on any team call doing games and exercises together.
Next, check out our lists of virtual team challenges, virtual game night ideas, and this one with virtual games to play on Zoom with coworkers.
We also have a list of the best virtual team events, a list of Zoom team building games and a list of the best virtual team games for meetings.
Here are a few common questions and answers about virtual team building activities for work.
Virtual team building is the process of forming bonds and collaboration skills with remote employees. These efforts can include team building activities for conference calls, scheduling virtual team events and similar. The goal of these activities is to improve skills like communication and collaboration, while also boosting engagement and job satisfaction. These activities, games and ideas are also known as "remote team building", "virtual team build ideas", "work from home team building", and "digital team building."
Team building virtually is relatively easy. Like in-person, you need to plan fun games and activities for your group. You can use an event planner, or host your own virtual team building events. An easy activity to get started with team building online is icebreaker questions.
There are hundreds of virtual activities to choose from. Some of the most fun online team building activities include icebreaker questions, Never Have I Ever, "Can you hear me now?", Mister Rogers Calls, and Something in Common.
An easy way to make a virtual meeting more fun is to include virtual team games and activities that are not work. For example, you might include trivia questions or a quick dance party. We recommend The 8% Rule, which states that 8% of the time in any meeting should be dedicated to fun virtual team building exercises.
Virtual team building is important because it helps build happy, engaged and productive remote teams. Employees that work from home often struggle to feel connected with coworkers and the organization, and even more so during quarantine. By investing in remote team building activities, you can not only model the engagement of teams that work in offices, but actually exceed it.
The most successful way to bond with a remote team is through shared virtual games and activities that are not lame. Whether you choose pub trivia, "get to know you" questions, or an online workshop is secondary to the simple act of spending more quality time together.
One way to create a team remotely is to invest time and attention in doing virtual team activities. Give your people fun shared experiences and they will give you a successful team.
For the greatest impact, you need to improve both group dynamics as well as one-on-one dynamics. So, you can plan virtual team building events like virtual happy hours and virtual holiday parties, but also paired opportunities like Mister Rogers Calls.
The best remote team building activities teach work competencies without seeming lame. Ideally, a remote employee should learn more about his or her company, role, and coworkers as a result of the exercise.
We recommend dedicating either the entire meeting to virtual team building activities, allocating 30 minutes at the end of your event, or following The 8% Rule. The 8% Rule states that 8% of the meeting, or about five minutes for every hour, should include fun virtual games and activities.
Some games are made for virtual platforms, while others can work with adjustments. For example, "Can you hear me now?" is a popular virtual team building game built specifically for video meetings. A game like Werewolf works well for team building online because it is mostly speaking and listening.
Virtual team building ideas are ways to connect with employees and coworkers online. Examples of these virtual activities include Bingo, scavenger hunts, and Blackout Truth or Dare. The purpose of these virtual team games and activities is to build remote work culture and connections.
Virtual team building challenges are spirited competitions or games you play with a remote team. These challenges are meant to boost friendships and team bonding with remote workers. For example, these challenges might include doing exercise for 30 days or a typing speed race.
Virtual team building exercises are online group activities that sharpen skills and strengthen coworker bonds. You can think of these exercises as a workout for your teamwork.
very interesting read . As a girl guide leader i am always looking for ways to entertain them. this has helped thank you
Thank you for sharing the ideas! In this current situation, we need human connection and kindness more than ever right now. Loved the ice breaking sessions!
Appreciate having a site like this. Gave me some good ideas. First time running virtual programming due to covid-19 and I am working with 13 and 14 year olds.

A grocery list can be sent to each participant for a recipe that the group all agrees on. A partnership with Instacart could be made to have the groceries delivered to each person's residence.
A cooking teacher can lead the group through the step-by-step process of preparing the dish from start to finish and give cooking tips and answer questions along the way. In the end, each participant can reveal how their dish turned out after following along. Some will be gram-worthy and some will get... participation trophies. But, everyone will learn something and have a great time!
Having worked from home for the past 6 years, getting in enough movement was sometimes challenging. I think a fun team-building exercise would be to hold a virtual walking challenge. Have teammates use their movement tracking devices to see how long it takes to virtually walk to each of your teammates locations and back again. It'd be a great way to increase steps and movement over a long period of time, but it would also help new team members learn where in the world their new co-workers are located.
