Looking for some virtual team building activities that are more than just a drinks over Zoom call? Fancy breaking away from the same old office games online in favour of something a bit different? Have fellow employees out in the sticks who can't make it to a team activity in London? Whether you’re searching for ways to stay motivated, or you simply want to reconnect with your staff and colleagues with some fun group activities, you’ve come to the right place!
Our wellbeing-boosting online craft classes and beautifully packed DIY kits are ideal for team bonding during the days of remote working. Not only do virtual courses help get the creative juices flowing but they also offer a way for teams to relax, socialise and most importantly, have a good time.
The days of watercooler chin-wags and kitchen catch-ups might be over as we used to know them, but that shouldn’t mean your team has to wave goodbye to their work social-life! We’ve got you all covered with a range of live streaming classes and craft boxes that make great group activities, whether you fancy a virtual office Bake-Off or you’re a team of budding cocktail mixologists! Read on for our top reasons why you should sign your team up for online cooking classes, virtual pottery courses or even a mindful tea tasting session today.
Online craft classes make a great social activity
OK, so the days of chatting to colleagues over a coffee might not be what they were pre-pandemic, but that doesn’t mean your team can’t still get together and take part in some fun group activities online. Social distancing, quarantine restrictions and remote working have led to more people than ever feeling lonely and isolated, so uniting your team with a virtual team building session will help them reconnect. They might not be able to argue over whose turn it is to make the tea, but they’ll still be able to join in with some office banter!
Our online craft classes make great team building activities and staff social events, as you’ll get all the fun without the cringe-factor of traditional office games online! A craft course or DIY kit is a super-fun way for your team members to connect with one another away from their desk and will make it easy for them to spend time together without having to discuss deadlines and targets. Whether it’s your hard-working employees who have been working long hours or just the shy ones in the corner who never seem to speak up in meetings, our craft classes and crafting kits will be sure to bring them all together – we promise! Whether you’re a team of keen creatives who want to learn new skills, or you just fancy having a laugh with your own virtual version of the Great Pottery Throwdown, we’ve got an online course that will keep you laughing until lockdown is over.
A craft course online also makes a great icebreaker and first-day activity. New starters can be nervous about joining a new company; why not use an online cooking class, virtual macrame workshop or online floristry course as a way of breaking the ice? Our virtual pottery classes also make great start-of-the-day activities and can help build good habits from day one, meaning everyone will leave feeling positive about their new role – even if they haven't mastered all of the pottery techniques yet!
A craft box and virtual team building class is the perfect way to help staff relax
Let’s be honest, remote working can be stressful! From endless Zoom meetings and software that doesn’t work, to bad internet connections and constant interruptions, your team members might find themselves feeling more anxious than usual - so why not help them to unwind with an online craft class, virtual art workshop or fabulous DIY kit? Mental health is just as important as physical health - so if you’ve already provided them with a state-of-the-art laptop and super comfy office chair, it’s time to turn your attention to their emotional wellbeing.
We’ve all heard of the many benefits that come with practising mindfulness, and we think that a virtual craft course is the perfect way to practice it! Help your employees take time out from their busy work lives and enjoy a few precious moments to themselves by signing them up for an online baking course or flower arranging workshop. They’ll be able to forget their workplace woes, switch off and get lost in learning a new hobby and making something beautiful for their home (office!). There’s nothing as soothing as stepping away from the computer screen and totally immersing yourself in a DIY project or online craft class - and in fact, studies have shown that getting involved in the arts can help to reduce anxiety, lower stress levels and boost mood. If you’re a manager who is aiming to provide a happier, healthier and more productive workplace, our online classes and virtual courses could be just what you’re looking for.
Signing them up to virtual team building activities will also give them the opportunity to use their downtime more productively by encouraging them to try something new at home - what could be more relaxing after a hard day at work than mastering the art of macrame or learning how to make candles? It doesn’t matter if they’re not the crafty type either - all of our online classes are hosted by local artisans and industry professionals who are experts in their field. The live streaming element means your team will be able to log on, follow the lesson step-by-step and finish the session with a host of new skills under their belts.
Craft courses online make a great staff reward
We all know that a team party is a sure-fire way to perk up your staff when the deadlines are looming, but thanks to the current pandemic and social distancing rules, it’s just not possible. That doesn’t mean you can’t pop a cork for their efforts and achievements though - we’re here to help you think outside the (craft) box and find your employees some fun things to do in lockdown.
If you’ve got a group of hard workers who have been putting in some late nights and early mornings, why not reward them with an online craft class instead? Our virtual pottery classes, live streaming art workshops and online floristry courses make great incentives for employees who have gone above and beyond - and they're much more fun than most other office gifts! Our team building activities are a great way for managers to offer some extra motivation to their workforce, as they allow you to reward staff with something physical that will almost definitely last longer than lockdown. When your team is happy, you feel happier too – so whether you want your staff to feel valued at work, or you just want them to sign off feeling empowered rather than overwhelmed by their workload, then an online craft class is the perfect solution. Plus, they'll be able to share their creations later on with their friends and family - what could be better than getting a gold star from their loved ones?
