Working remotely can sometimes feel like missing out on delightful watercolor conversations and casual chit-chats that make our workplace warm and inviting. To fill that void and strengthen our team spirit, we’ve recently done a fun team-building exercise that will bring a smile to your faces and foster camaraderie.
Remember the guided drawing activity we did not too long ago? Well, this time, we’re putting a summer twist on it! Our goal remains the same: to get everyone to draw the same thing.
Here’s how it works: one of us will take on the role of the “announcer.” The announcer will choose and describe an image without giving away what it is. They’ll give step-by-step directions on how to draw it. The rest of us will put our artistic skills to the test and create our renditions based solely on these verbal instructions.
Once everyone’s masterpiece is complete, we’ll unveil our drawings and compare them to the original image. The hilarity that ensues when our interpretations differ is always a sight. It’s a fantastic way to encourage creativity and teamwork, and it never fails to make us laugh.
Summer Stories: Sharing Laughter and Memories
Now, onto the second part of our team-building extravaganza. Since our theme is “Summer,” we want to dive into some of our most memorable and entertaining summer stories. Each team member has been tasked with privately emailing a funny or crazy summer-related tale from their past. It could be an amusing mishap, a heartwarming memory, or anything else that tickles your funny bone.
Someone will compile these stories into a slideshow, much like we did for our holiday celebration. But here’s the twist: Your stories will be anonymous! During our virtual team-building event, everyone will have the chance to guess who the storyteller is for each tale. The person with the most correct guesses will be crowned the Summer Storytelling Champion.
It’s a great way to learn more about each other’s experiences, share some hearty laughs, and celebrate the season of summer together, even if we can’t be physically present.
Remember, the goal is to have fun and strengthen our bonds as a team.
