Virtual team building activities are now an essential tool for anyone managing remote teams in order to help maintain social connections, employee engagement, and team interaction.

As more and more of our lives are conducted online, it is increasingly difficult to get large groups of people together for personal activities or work functions. The ease with which we all used to get together and enjoy time to discuss, brainstorm, or just have fun have been limited by world events.

While it can be hoped that things will return to normal in the near future, for the moment, we are all still limited to doing much socializing, bonding, and interacting through online means. This means that schools, families, and workplaces are looking for the right ways to foster community feelings and deeper connections between the people they interact with online every day.

If you manage a remote team, oversee student activities or new student orientation, lead an organization, or are just trying to get coworkers together for a fun interactive activity, this list is for you!

Top 20 Virtual Team Building Activities

We scoured, we searched, and we experienced many different virtual team building options and there was clearly a top 20 list. We organized that list below to help you brainstorm what virtual team building activities will work best for your remote team.

1. Virtual Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger hunts are one of the best activities your team can do to enjoy some bonding time, work on problem-solving skills, and collaborate strategically.

While most people are familiar with the classic pen and paper versions, smartphone tech has enabled this activity to go virtual and digital using apps. The idea is still the same: find things, solve challenges, get points, and compete against others. However, virtual scavenger hunts are all about snapping photos, recording videos, using GPS to "check-in" to locations, scanning QR codes, and answering trivia questions. All of which can be done remotely using your mobile device. Think: "Record a short video of your team doing a virtual music video!" or "Do a good deed! Record your team doing a good deed for someone in the community". There is no shortage of ways to make this kind of activity really fun for everyone on your team.

Time Needed: As short as 30 min to a few hours, but you can also expand out to a longer activation that engages teams over the course of weeks or months.
