Cool Virtual Team Building Activities to Build Rapport！

Feeling like there’s a bit of a lag in your virtual team engagement?

Well, the good news is there’s a great set of team building activities to keep the team spirit alive, even while working remotely!

Check them out below.

Online Quizzes and Trivia

Kahoot is a popular platform for creating and launching fun quizzes and trivias. Quizzes and trivia can cover a variety of topics such as each colleague’s personality, pop culture, films, literature, and sports. It’s a great energiser and bonding tool for your virtual teams.

Singing Competition via Video Call

Host a “Favourite Song of the Week” competition where employees select their favourite songs of the week, and the team votes on the best.

To add an extra touch of fun, create a shared company playlist with the chosen songs.

This ice-breaking game encourages employees to break out of their shells and show their goofy sides, too, thus fostering an enjoyable team environment.

Remote Fitness Challenge

While building rapport within your virtual team, this activity also encourages employees to stay fit and active with a virtual fitness challenge.

Set trackable exercise goals and offer prizes for top performers to spur participation.

This can be easily managed with a fitness app.

Remote Mental Wellness Challenge

Implement a routine mental wellness virtual challenge to help reduce stress and improve focus.

Activities could include meditation and other stress-relieving practices. An online sharing of tips to boost mental health would be a great bonus.

Classic Games, but Virtual

Classic games such as pictionary and charades are good choices. These games may seem “trite and overused”, but they remain a crowd-pleaser and often lead to hilarious results.

One of the best ways to make the most of your HRD levy (before it’s too late) is to invest in uplifting and engaging team building activities that pay dividends down the road!
