Hunt for eggs in our escape room game, Desert Island! Divide yourselves into teams to find Easter eggs hidden all around the island. Who will be the quickest to collect them all? This virtual activity is designed to simulate the feeling of everyone being in the same room, so it’s almost like in-person team building!

If that’s not your cup of tea, you can play a customised version of our very popular trivia game. Just be mindful that your employees may come from different cultures and backgrounds so not everyone has the same experience of this holiday!

8. Release Your Inner Poet

It’s International Haiku Poetry Day! If you think your team could use some competition, how about a poetry slam? Creating your own haiku isn’t as difficult as you might think if you just follow the process. Organise a contest for the best original haiku (and recitation!) in your remote team and see whose rhymes capture the audience. You can include a prize for the winner, like a gift card or another benefit, but it’s not absolutely necessary. This activity is all about creativity, self-expression, and building connections!

East Meets West Day commemorates an important step towards the end of World War 2, so it’s the perfect occasion to have a meaningful discussion with your colleagues.

FAQs

What are the top activities for Virtual Team Building in April?

If you want to organise a team bonding activity in April, it’s good to go for something fun and lighthearted. Quizzes and challenges are always a great choice that your employees are sure to love! As it’s the month dedicated to humour, why not consider a ridiculously funny online casino like our Whacky Wager Betting? To honour Stress Awareness Month, we recommend checking out a mindfulness session hosted by a meditation specialist.

How can I help my remote team bond?

You need to organise regular team building sessions to ensure the bonds within your virtual or hybrid team are strong. Encourage communication by giving your employees space and time to chat, such as scheduling a virtual coffee break (also known as fika)! While these common, short breaks are a great way to upkeep good relations within a team, you should also organise a few team building activities and exercises during the year.

How to organise a team building activity online?

There are two ways you can organise a remote team building event. First, you can do it by yourself. In this case, start by picking an idea, determining your budget, and creating an agenda. Figure out everything you need to run the activity and engage other employees in the process. It’s challenging to handle everything by yourself! You can also use the services of a remote team building company, which can take care of everything for you.
