Uplift Your Employees with Crafty Virtual Team Activities

When you’re working from home, it’s easy to get cabin fever. The desire to reconnect with your coworkers at the office is strong, which is why virtual team building activities are essential to break up the monotony. A break is good for everyone — coworkers, employers, and most importantly, remote teams. Fun activities that bring people together should be a central part of your workplace culture for a healthy, satisfying, and happy work environment.

Zoom is more than just a video conference tool! It can be used for your team to bond, relax, and interact. Take some time for your team to have Zoom activities that foster bonding, emotional wellness, and positivity. With this tool, it's incredibly easy to bring together your remote employees with the click of a button.

If you're looking for a way to get your virtual team members up and going, you'll be happy to know that there are several online art classes that your team can enjoy together. Most classes come with the supplies and instructions in a craft kit, so you don't have to make your way to the store. Not a fan of painting? Online cooking classes are a tasty option for those who want to create culinary masterpieces. Here are some ideas for virtual team bonding activities your crew is sure to love...

Try your hand at virtual cocktail making classes

Virtual team building will not be complete without some refreshing drinks to toast as a group. While beer is the traditional favourite, many will most likely be interested in learning how to mix cocktails. Because most pubs have a limited capacity or are closed these days, your team can build their own bar at home. Just sign them up to learn from a mixologist for a day so that they can unwind at home with the beverage of their choice.

Out of the many seemingly unusual things to do in Brisbane, a virtual mixology session might spark your curiosity. As a team building activity, everybody can learn a thing or two from a seasoned bartender. Beginners, average Joes, and experts are more than welcome. Plus, you can immediately set up your home pub because everything you need for your online class will be delivered to you in a craft box.

You can expect all the supplies and ingredients necessary for cocktail making to be sent to your door. Simply set up your space and let the good times roll!

Paint and sip online: a unique channel for your creativity

Who says you need to be an expert artist to enjoy a painting session? This is one of the many Zoom activities that are low-key and chill – not to mention enjoyable. Sure, you and your coworkers can’t visit the pub for drinks. But, you can still enjoy a glass of wine while painting at the same time!

Online art classes are a healthy way to channel your creativity. Beginners are welcome, and expert teachers will be there to guide every participant. As the team practices their brush strokes, they have the opportunity to bond and share. You can even find inspiration from your coworkers' stories and learn about their other hobbies, which you wouldn't typically discuss. In this fun-filled session, each member can step out of their comfort zone, start creating on their canvases, all while sipping on some wine!

The fantastic thing about online craft classes is that you don't need to source your materials and supplies. Everything you need for this creative activity will be delivered to your door. All you need to do is log onto Zoom, and our expert instructors will guide you through the rest.
