Are you looking for virtual team building activities to treat your hardworking team and add some creative wellness to their day? Whether you have a work-from-home company or a hybrid workplace with offices from NYC to SF, team building online can encourage you to switch off and focus on a relaxing activity. Whether it's an hour of socialization or an extra dose of mindfulness, spending quality time with colleagues is just as important as meeting deadlines. Here are our favorite online team bonding exercises in 2024 to reduce stress and increase wellness.
Get a dose of inspiration by taking online craft classes
Crafting gets the mind to slow down and focus on the task at hand, making it an excellent hands-on group activity. Try a meditative online calligraphy class and focus on getting into the flow of creating letters with a brush pen. Your instructor will show you the strokes step-by-step and you will have plenty of time to practice as you immerse yourself in this calming online class.
Love the idea of surrounding yourself with relaxing scents? An online candle-making class is great for groups. Everyone will get DIY kits sent to their doorstep and easy-to-follow instruction from an experienced teacher. When you sign off from your virtual experience, everyone will have a candle to light and enjoy with your customized fragrances.
If you need themed activities for your company’s virtual Christmas party, try an online wreath-making workshop. Working with natural materials can be therapeutic, especially when you breathe in fresh smells like eucalyptus, pine, and more. Once you wrap a hoop with leaves, flowers, and bows you can show off your wreaths to each other and hang them in your home to show off your work.
With a variety of craft classes to choose from, there will be something for every team! Whether your team appreciates the slow-paced macrame or you're looking for a firey wood-burning class. You can also meet up in person in one of our studios from LA to NYC!
Draw out the inner artist with paint and sip classes online
Have an extra fun virtual hang-out sesh with your team by booking a virtual sip and paint class. Even if you aren't in the same room, you'll have fun getting together and sharing a creative project. Online classes make it easy for colleagues to connect, even if you aren't in the same room. Adding your favorite beer or wine (or mocktail) to your event adds to the festive atmosphere.
Socializing and bonding with your team outside of work-related tasks is beneficial for your well-being and happiness within the workplace! These paint-and-sip classes provide the perfect environment for a casual and low-key team activity. This low-stress workshop will allow you to let go of your stressors and focus on having fun!
Painting can increase your feeling of relaxation, even if you are a complete beginner. Your teacher will make sure you feel at ease in front of your canvas and you'll get the supplies you need in a kit. It's about the journey and not about the destination so grab your favorite drink, chat with your teammates, and see where your brushstrokes take you!
Sculpt your worries away with online pottery classes
Pottery can soothe the soul with a lump of clay and the willingness to play! Your instructor will show you over Zoom how to work your clay into a functional pottery piece. Molding and shaping clay is a great way to unwind and have you focus on a physical task with mental health benefits. You'll still have time to have casual conversations and show off your progress to each other.
Online clay classes are designed for beginners, so don’t worry if your mug, vase, or bowl doesn’t look perfect! What matters is the chance to step away from your daily routine and share a memorable activity with your teammates.
In these online pottery classes, you will learn hand building techniques that are easy to accomplish at home without many tools. If you have an in-person or hybrid office and want to take your creative workshop to the next level, try a wheel-throwing workshop next time your team meets up in person. From Seattle and LA to Chicago and NYC, you'll be able to find a ceramics studio near you to throw down some clay with your coworkers!
Shake it off with online cocktail classes
You can relax and learn mixology with a virtual cocktail making class. Whether you're looking forward to making a boozy drink or you'll keep it zero-proof, everyone can partake in this fun workshop. An expert bartender will walk you through your favorite drink recipes, from margaritas to spritzes, and show you how to use fresh ingredients and mixers to level up your beverage of choice. Every mixology class is friendly to non-drinkers and easy for co-workers to make mocktails if they choose, making it inclusive and social for all.
Aside from being a fantastic pick-me-up activity for your team, online team building activities are also great for holiday parties, company anniversaries, and other celebrations. Or rather than popping into the local bar for an after-work happy hour, schedule an interactive event instead! Whether you prefer your home kitchen or a stylish Bay Area or New York speakeasy, you can learn cocktail making no matter where you are! Regardless of the occasion, boosting morale with a virtual experience will go a long way toward prioritizing your group's well-being.
