- Description: "This one-of-a-kind virtual team building activity is a great choice for teams of all shapes and sizes. Once your event is scheduled, we ship out a complete kit for making mozzarella (or ricotta) to each member of your team.

With over 10 years’ experience, our cheesemakers really know their stuff. They also know just what it takes to engage remote teams while bringing fun to the table. Seriously, these engaging chefs provide the secret sauce you simply won’t find elsewhere.
You’ll learn the real (and surprisingly funny) history of cheesemaking through the ages. A cheese trivia game show adds even more delicious comic relief. And this is about as close as you can get to instant gratification – your team will be able to enjoy their new gourmet creations right away, or use them in salads, on pizza or crackers. Just add WiFi, and maybe a glass or two of vino."

- Description: Imagine getting your group together to design and build actual working catapults. Now imagine turning the whole thing into a hilarious competitive team building event. That’s exactly what you get with Catapult to Success.
As you’ll find with all of our favorite team building activities, Catapult to Success is a hit because it inspires teams to work together toward a common goal. In this case, achieving that goal also means you get to fling stuff through the air. We provide all necessary building materials, along with the top-flight professional facilitation TeamBonding is known for.
You get two separate rounds of high-energy competition. First is a distance-only launch event, followed by a distance + accuracy segment that involves catching various improbable objects (no bowling balls or live kittens, we promise). Winning requires a mix of shrewd inter-team negotiation, effective brainstorming, prototyping, testing, and fine-tuning.
This challenge is designed to combine mental agility with collaboration, hands-on construction, and commercial prowess. While the catapults themselves are always the central feature, the overall framing can be adapted to suit your specific objectives. For example, some of our clients want the big takeaway to be “continuous improvement” or “fine-tuning team dynamics.”

- Description: "In this fun departure from day-to-day reality, teams must rely on collaboration, creativity and resourcefulness to successfully navigate the urban jungle in search of escaped wild animals. Augmented reality provides the perfect platform for this exotic fantasy adventure.
Just as in real life, players must know their specific roles, special strengths and how they fit into the larger picture. As scientists, some will gather ingredients to make sedative potions. Operators provide clues from large maps showing animal locations. Rangers gather equipment needed to catch and transport animals. Regardless of their roles, every player will need to actively listen, weigh different opinions and make decisions quickly.
This format encourages all team members to participate. It’s great for socializing and having fun, but also allows participants to discover the talents of others as they work together in new ways. Safari is easily scalable, so it’s well suited to groups large and small in a variety of outdoor locations.

- Description: his lively online team building activity brings all the excitement of the horse track to any team gathering. It’s led by one of our amazing facilitators, with all the racing action taking place in real time for all to see.
Horse racing may be an individual challenge, but our version is all about the teamwork. We divide your group into small teams, who compete with one another as they train horses, bet on race outcomes and even sabotage rivals. No real horse-racing experience is required, so every member of your group can feel good about jumping in.
The event plays out over a series of races, with players interacting using their computers. Each race starts with a short overview of the track and conditions. Using this knowledge, teams work together to devise their race strategies. Everyone’s screens display constantly changing payouts, with updates of each horse’s speed, power, training and chances of winning each race.
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement as players cheer, place bets, train their own horses or sabotage others. After six races have been run, the team with the most winnings takes their rightful place in the winners’ circle. The big takeaway? Teams are most successful when they plan and coordinate their actions together.
We provide everything — Zoom link, engaging professional host and race software. You can rest easy, knowing we’ve got all the details covered.

- Description: his series of chocolate-themed team building activities was created for a specific Verizon event at the Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA. Since then, we’ve shared it with hundreds of other teams. It always leaves people smiling.
Chocolate + team building = the best thing since peanut butter met jelly.
Our Chocolate Challenge offers a delicious blend of friendly competition, lively challenges, and edible engineering.

The winning team will leverage creativity, group participation, and effective collaboration successfully. Of course, a durable bridge structure also helps.
From beginning to end, this event is designed to lift spirits and reignite the creative spark we all carry deep inside.

- Description: This hands-on corporate charity event has your group filling backpacks with notebooks, pencils, erasers and other vital school supplies. But they’ll have to earn them in a series of fun mental and physical team challenges.
School supplies can be expensive – especially for middle and high school students. Tools for Schools provides an easy way for your team to make a difference in your own community by helping prepare young people for healthy, productive lives.
But of course, this is TeamBonding. That means plenty of fun, along with powerful team building experiences. So your teams will need to earn their school supplies through creative mental and physical team challenges emphasizing cooperation, effective communication and a willingness to roll up their sleeves and get involved.
Another positive outcome? We purchase all school materials used for this event directly from B2SI, a nonprofit whose mission is to create and support educational opportunities that enrich the lives of children. So above and beyond your backpack donations, your organization is helping to support one of our favorite nonprofits. It all adds up to a nice win for everyone concerned.

- Description: Hundreds of companies have used our Charity Bike Build to donate nearly 20,000 bikes to grateful children around the world. Of all the team building programs we offer, the Charity Bike Build is truly our #1 favorite.
Do you recall receiving your very first bicycle, maybe as a birthday or holiday present? All of us do – there’s just something magical and timeless about the experience. This charitable event brings that joy directly to local kids who would otherwise never get the chance to feel such pure excitement.
TeamBonding partners with local children’s organizations (Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Clubs) to bring you this heartwarming event. The program is really powerful, quickly engaging people in ways most have never experienced before.
Our charity bike build inspires people to work harder and more passionately than if they were just working for themselves. It’s a great opportunity to practice teamwork and collaboration with a clear positive goal in mind. If you’d like, we may even be able to arrange to have children on-site to accept their shiny new bikes. If there’s such a thing as the perfect team building event, this is surely it.
