Keeping your remote team engaged and feeling connected can be a challenge. But fear not, fellow virtual leader! This list of 2024-approved virtual team-building activities will have your colleagues collaborating, creating, and cracking up – all from the comfort of their home offices.
2024 Trivia Time: Get creative! Craft trivia questions around the year’s biggest trends, music releases, or even historical anniversaries of 2024. Bonus points for the most obscure (but verifiable) fact!
World Tour, Remote Style: Take your team on a virtual vacation! Explore famous museums with online tours, learn a new recipe from a different culture with ChefPassport, or have a virtual dance party with music from around the world.
Design the Future: Tap into the “color of the year” for inspiration. Challenge your team to create a product or service based on this year’s trendy hue.
Guess Who’s Workspace?: Have team members share photos of their unique home office setups. Let everyone guess who’s who based on quirky decorations, hidden pets, or that fantastic coffee mug collection.
2024 Sports Showdown: Is your team entirely of sports fanatics? Get them excited for upcoming tournaments with a friendly (or not-so-friendly) competition. Predict winners, create a fantasy league, or even host a virtual watch party.
DIY Craft Challenge: Send a surprise craft kit beforehand, then have a virtual session where everyone creates the same project (think origami, friendship bracelets, or even miniature pizzas!).
The Exciting Sponge Challenge: This one’s messy but guaranteed to be a laugh riot. Split the team into small groups and assign them a task to complete virtually, using only a wet sponge (think building a tower, transferring objects). Hilarity will ensue!
Spreadsheet Pixel Art: This one sounds strange but surprisingly fun! Assign a small team to create a collaborative pixel art masterpiece using a spreadsheet program.
Virtual Escape Room: Challenge your team’s communication and problem-solving skills with an online escape room. Many companies offer themed escape rooms perfect for remote teams.
Design the Future: Tap into the “color of the year” for inspiration. Challenge your team to create a product or service based on this year’s trendy hue.
Movie Night Mystery: Pick a movie (preferably a comedy) and have everyone mute their mics. Throughout the film, the chat function sends cryptic clues about a hidden detail (like a specific outfit or background object). The first person to guess it correctly wins bragging rights!
2024 Sports Showdown: Is your team entirely of sports fanatics? Get them excited for upcoming tournaments with a friendly (or not-so-friendly) competition. Predict winners, create a fantasy league, or even host a virtual watch party.
Virtual Talent Show: Unleash your team’s hidden talents! This can be anything from singing and dancing to impressive magic tricks or even a pet show.
PowerPoint Karaoke: Prepare a presentation template full of random prompts and images. Split the team into small groups, then set a timer and let the hilarity ensue as they create the most nonsensical (yet entertaining) presentation possible.
Five Finger Showdown: This quick and fun icebreaker uses five prompts, such as “Who has the most siblings?” or “Who has traveled to the most countries?” Everyone holds up the number of fingers corresponding to who applies to them, sparking conversation and revealing hidden connections.
“Can You Hear Me Now?” Challenge: This one requires some preparation. Have everyone gather random household items (pots, spoons, toys). Take turns making sounds using the objects, and see if your teammates can guess what each sound represents.
Bucket List Challenge: Have everyone share one item on their bucket list. Then, brainstorm ways to virtually “experience” those things together (e.g., virtual tours of dream destinations and online cooking classes for a culinary adventure).
