ONLINE TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN SOUTH AFRICA

We can all agree that 2020 massively affected our working lives and how we interact with our colleagues. Many people started new jobs during the pandemic and are yet to even meet their co-workers! This disconnection to our teammates can feel a bit isolating, so it's more important than ever to ensure morale is high and employees feel engaged. 

Competing to build the best raft or executing the perfect trust-fall might be out of the question during the pandemic, but there are loads of at-home team building activities that are sure to entertain and motivate your staff. Browse our top ideas below and find the perfect virtual ice breaker for your team!

Virtual Escape Game

We've probably all tried an escape room in real life by now, but did you know there are loads of online options that are perfect for at-home team-building activities? Gather your colleagues and have a go at the Escape the Blizzard Game, each taking on a character and working together to solve puzzles, crack codes and signal your rescue plane to win your freedom! These games are great fun for getting everyone involved and working together, plus you can make it extra fun by dressing up in your best ski gear.

Desserts and Magic

This entertaining and utterly unique experience is perfect for enjoying downtime with your colleagues and relaxing after a week of work - we'd highly recommend this on a Friday afternoon or evening so everyone can let their hair down! Join Natalie and her co-host, both previous Disney Cruise Line entertainers, from their Johannesburg home and learn how to make traditional Peppermint Crisp Tarts (so it's not really cooking, but you get the idea) before enjoying an exciting magic show - great for raising spirits and sharing laughs with your team!

POV Horse-Back Safari

The farms and wine estates in Stellenbosch used to be popular choices for corporate days out, but now we're stuck at home, let the farms come to you! This fun virtual Horse Riding Wildlife Safari invites you to join a professional safari guide for an online POV journey on horse-back through the reserve, looking out for animals, birds and plants that are native to the area. You'll learn about the Stellenbosch region and get to feel like you're really out there - something to look forward to when you can get together again! 

Collaborative Art Project

For a unique online experience that promotes communication, creativity and collaboration, look no further than the Pixel Art Virtual Team Build by Beach & Bush Team Building! These guys are experts in corporate team events, and have designed a digital platform that encourages members to work together on an artistic project, engage in fun ice breakers, and compete in challenges. Whether you've been colleagues for twenty years or twenty minutes, these virtual events will have you all feeling like the best of friends!
