Let's face it, remote work can be amazing for flexibility, but it can also get a little…well, isolating. Especially as spring bursts into bloom, you might find your team yearning for some connection and creativity.
Listen up fellow virtual team ambassadors! Here's a list of fantastic spring-themed virtual workshops that are perfect for remote team building. These activities are all about fostering a sense of togetherness, sparking fresh ideas, and (bonus points!) adding a touch of mindfulness to your workday.
1. Terrarium Making: Cultivate Connection (and Cuteness!)
Terrariums are the perfect way to bring a touch of nature indoors – and they're surprisingly easy to create! In a terrarium-making workshop, your team will learn about different plants, and how to build a terrarium and unleash their creativity while building a connection with the team.
Plus, these terrariums make for fantastic desk companions, adding a pop of green and a constant reminder of the fun you had creating them together. Learn more about terrariums here.
2. Ceramic Face Planter: Unleash Your Inner Artist
This virtual workshop is a fantastic way for your team to tap into their creative sides while getting their hands a little dirty (well, figuratively!).
Led by a skilled instructor, your team will receive a ceramic face planter kit and learn the basics of hand-painting techniques. From whimsical designs to more abstract creations, there's endless room for personalization.
Imagine the fun conversations and laughter as everyone reveals their unique planter masterpieces!
3. Moss Wall Art: A Touch of Tranquility for Your Workspace
Moss walls are all the rage these days, and for good reason! Not only are they stunningly beautiful, but they also have air-purifying properties, making them a fantastic addition to any workspace.
In this virtual workshop, your team will learn the art of creating their own personalized moss wall art. Imagine the calming effect of lush green moss hanging in the background of your next video call – a visual reminder of the beauty and serenity that spring brings.
4. Spring-Themed Mindful Doodling: De-Stress & Unleash Creativity
Feeling overwhelmed by deadlines and to-do lists?
This virtual workshop is here to offer a moment of relaxation and creative exploration. Led by a mindfulness expert, your team will embark on a journey of spring-themed doodling.
From playful flower patterns to whimsical landscapes, this activity encourages letting go of inhibitions and simply allowing the pen to flow. You'd be surprised at how calming and focus-enhancing this practice can be!
5. Paint and Meet Llamas (Yes, You Read That Right!)
Llamas – majestic, adorable, and surprisingly therapeutic. Who knew?
This unique virtual workshop combines the joy of painting ceramic llamas, while learning fun facts about these cute, majestic creatures.
While learning basic painting techniques from a professional artist, your team will get a chance to virtually meet some real-life llamas, ask questions about these quirky animals, and witness their laid-back charm.
It's the perfect way to break the ice, spark conversations, and create hilarious (and heartwarming) memories together.
Crafter Tip: Turn Up the Fun with Virtual Team Building Twists!
Here are some additional ideas to add a layer of team building to your chosen workshop:
Friendly Competition: For workshops like ceramic face planters or painting, encourage friendly competition with categories like "Most Creative," "Most Team-Spirited," or "Funniest Design."
Collaborative Creations: Consider creating a larger moss wall art piece or spring-themed doodle masterpiece together, with each team member contributing a section.
Themed Backgrounds: Encourage everyone to create a spring-themed background for their video call during the workshop, adding a touch of visual fun to the session.
