It’s easy to incorporate social responsibility into your team’s culture. Charitable team building activities offer participants exciting ways to come together for friendly competition and fun activities while making a difference. There’s something for everyone from building wheelchairs to teddy bears. TeamBonding offers activities for groups of all shapes and sizes, whether your team is interested in benefiting animals, veterans, children or the community or something else.  

Below are some popular activities from TeamBonding’s extensive roster. 

The Ultimate Holiday Party

We’ve got your work holiday party covered! Experience the ultimate holiday party with 30 minute rounds of creative, engaging, and challenging team building activities. Your team will complete a series of holiday work games and challenges carefully designed to encourage team interaction and celebration.

Toys for Tykes 

The excitement begins with an icebreaker and progresses onto other activities, including Toy Trivia, a Blindfolded Puzzle Challenge, and a fun, fast-paced, secret final challenge. In Toys for Tykes, teams earn the points needed to earn the materials that fill their girl-themed and boy-themed wagon of treasures. 

As groups work together, they are also given a songbook that contains the lyrics to common knowledge tunes. They are tasked with picking one of the songs and rewriting the lyrics to fit their company or your meeting theme. 

Participants wrap the gift-filled wagons in cellophane and bows. They make note cards for each present, providing a personal message from the teams. Then, each team will perform their choreographed musical masterpiece to a wildly cheering audience. 

Paws For A Cause 

If you’re looking to mix in some fun while giving back to your local animal shelter, Paws For A Cause is the team building event for your team. As groups work together to help local rescue animals by making dogs beds, toys, and cat-scratch pads, trivia and word challenges will be put in the mix. Combine team building, and com-PET-ition to make a difference in an animal’s life. 

Play it Forward – The Giveback Gameshow

Spark your excitement with this event based on the popular pricing game show, but with a charitable twist. In this giveback version, teams compete in pricing challenges and trivia in order to win it all for charity.

Hopefull Handbags

Everyone deserves to feel that confident energy. Hopefull Handbags is a charitable event that can do just that for women in need. Support women in shelters by filling handbags with items that will help them get back on their feet. Work together as a team to problem-solve, collaborate, and have fun.

The meaningful purpose of this program inspires teams to work with more passion than ever before.  

Team Teddy Bear Rescue 

A little kindness can go a long way. While solving puzzles, decoding, and unlocking secrets, while you gather the supplies to make a custom teddy bear for children. Teams will split up into groups and race against each other to earn enough points to purchase accessories to build your bear. Work with one another to give the bear an identity of its own and choose fun outfits to dress it. The best part of Team Teddy Bear Rescue is giving your creation you put your heart and soul into to a child. Not only does it benefit your team by building teamwork skills, but it also puts a smile on a child’s face at the end of the day.
