Frequently Asked Questions

What is a team building kit?

A team building kit typically refers to a set of materials and supplies for employees to use and enjoy during a team building session.

Kits can come in various formats. For instance: a physical box of items delivered to each employee, or a downloadable virtual bundle of videos, online activities, PDFs, and other digital resources.

What is included in a virtual team building kit?

A team building kit might include craft supplies for an interactive activity, a game or puzzle to play with colleagues, snacks and refreshments to enjoy during the session, a keepsake memento, company swag, and more.

Team Building Kit Ideas:

  • Puzzles or challenges to solve together
  • Building kits, such as LEGOs or other building blocks
  • Supplies for a group art project or creative exercise

What can team building kits be used for?

Team building kits are a great way to create an interactive, fun environment for team learning. Team building kits can be used to help employees build teamwork skills through shared challenges and games. You can also deepen your learning on a particular topic by including books or resources for further learning. Additionally, you can spark dialogue and connections with snacks, keepsake items, or a special gift.

I have a remote team. How do I get a kit sent out to every address?

While handling the logistics of shipping a kit to each employee can get tricky, there are companies that will handle this for you! Outsourcing this task can allow you to focus on your areas of expertise rather than printing postage or making a trip to the shipping store.

For instance, when you book a tour with Unexpected Virtual Tours and add optional themed Treat Boxes, we’ll take care of shipping the boxes to each individual employee! All you need to do is provide the addresses and provide enough advance notice for shipping. Then – voila – beautiful Treat Boxes arrive on each team members’ doorstep, ready to unwrap!

Are these kinds of activities actually fun and engaging for employees?

When done well, engaging your employees with team building kits is an amazing way to boost team connection, communication, trust, and morale! Team building events can serve many purposes. Whether your aim is to educate employees on an important topic, welcome new hires, reconnect after a period of transition, or something else – there’s a way to make it engaging for everyone.

Team building kits help your team go beyond a simple video call or meeting. Instead, employees can participate actively, deepen their shared experience, and create memories together.

What type of kit should I choose for my employees?

The type of kit you choose can depend on a variety of factors – such as: your team culture and preferences, whether you are working in-person or remote, the type of program or activity you’re planning for your team, and your budget.

It’s a good idea to start by determining the goals of your team building session. For instance – if your goal is to grow your team’s knowledge on a particular topic, your team building kit is likely to look different than if your goal is to host a fun happy hour. Choosing a kit that aligns with your goals is a great way to set your team up for success. Ideally, the best team building kits blend both fun and learning for an enriching experience!
