Virtual team builders for smaller squads

Got a smaller office? Working with a tight-knit team has incredible benefits, and it can make team building in a shadow lockdown more effective than ever, particularly if a solid rapport has already been built. 

It takes time to establish a positive workplace culture, but once it’s been established, it becomes easier and easier to maintain. Here are a few virtual team builders to help your small super squad stay close when they’re far away. 

Shake cocktails at a virtual after-work drinks

As well as being delicious, cocktails are also super fun to make. If you’ve been missing your weekly after-work drinks, making DIY cocktails at home might be an even better option. These virtual team building activities mean your team gets to enjoy a few drinks, celebrate and make memories—without the stress of organising a lift home. 

With the live online classes, you can discover how to shake up a zesty margarita, martini or cosmopolitan cocktail and will be shown the tips and tricks for easy cocktail recipes. Maintaining positive health and wellbeing in the workplace takes many forms, but a big part of it is allowing your staff to relax around each other and let their hair down, even if it is just over Zoom. 

With in-person after-work drinks in short supply during Omicron, indulging in a cocktail class is the next best thing. With a variety of styles, flavours and options, you can pick the best online mixology class for your virtual teams.

Melt and pour soy candles together

Candle making workshops are one of the best quick and easy virtual team builders for small groups on a busy schedule. Taking care of your staff’s WFH environment is near impossible without the office, but there are small ways you can help their at-home workspace stay fresh and vibrant. 

Candle making is one of the best online classes that offers therapeutic benefits without taking up too much of the day. With a craft box containing all the materials sent straight to your team’s doors, you’ll be able to get all the aromatherapy needed together in just an hour or two.

That’s not to say it’s a rushed class; more of a quick relaxation for virtual teams under the pump. With a fun and engaging artist showing the ropes - or wicks, rather - this is one of the best choices when it comes to team building in lockdown that won’t consume the whole day. 

Learn how to cook up a storm in your own kitchens

If your team has been working from home for a while now it’s very likely that mealtimes have become a bit dull. Encourage your team to explore different cuisines and learn how to cook delicious new dishes with an online cooking class!

Guided by chefs from across Australia, at these virtual team building activities, you and your colleagues can learn how to cook everything from pasta dishes to Japanese food all from the comfort of your own kitchens. This will help everyone become more familiar with the recipes so they can change up their daily dinners and build their confidence.

Virtual team builders for big offices

Looking to cater for a more sizeable group? Not only is workplace wellbeing more of a challenge in a large office team, but getting them together for online games for remote teams is even harder. Don’t sweat it, though, we have artisans and workshop practitioners who have perfected the art of getting your spread-out super squad into a tight-knit team.

Learn how to paint together

Our paint and sip classes are some of the best virtual team building activities on offer, anywhere in Australia. Combining easy-to-follow artworks with a few glasses of wine, our live online classes are available to teams from Sydney to Perth! 

Virtual paint and sip classes are fantastic for small and large groups alike, but what makes them so perfect for large groups is their balance between the festive and the artistic. Some individuals get a little self-conscious about their creative abilities, but with an artist on standby to help instruct even the least artistically-inclined folks and an increase in numbers to help swarm the self-consciousness away, your team can relax into these indoor activities from the comfort of their own living room, drinking their own booze and learning how to paint their own way.

Go green with a DIY terrarium

Terrarium making is more than just a botanist’s favourite hobby. Building and designing your own terrarium makes for one of the best virtual team builders for large groups because it adds something to the home workspace. 

Much like candle making, DIY terrarium building helps reinvigorate your individual work environment by adding a touch of greenery and nature, whilst also improving the quality of oxygen. Not just this, but working with natural soils and plants has been scientifically proven to boost your mood! 

The mycobacterium vaccae that exists in even small amounts of soil has been found to aid your brain’s ability to produce serotonin. Don’t worry, you don’t have to eat it. It gets naturally inhaled as you work, making this more than just an aid to your positive workplace culture, but a personal mood booster for each one of your staff! 

Our terrarium workshops cater for a wide range of corporate clients, so get the team to get their hands dirty together!

However you choose to get your staff bonding, our virtual team building activities can help you put your best foot forward and keep that workplace wellbeing pumping! Most of our corporate events can cater for hundreds of people at a time, so never hesitate to contact us if you’re dealing with a particularly large office group. 

You know your team better than we do, that’s why our ever-expanding range of fun virtual team building icebreakers are some of the best things to do at home for your remote teams, no matter where in Australia you all may be.
