A Heartwarming Team Experience That Comforts Children in Need

Bears and Blankets is a deeply meaningful charity team building activity where teams come together to create comforting gifts for children who’ve experienced trauma. Through collaboration, creativity, and shared purpose, your group will build and donate huggable stuffed animals and handmade blankets to local organizations that serve kids in crisis.

This uplifting experience is a powerful way to engage your team while making a lasting impact.

Program Agenda

This event combines lighthearted competition with real emotional value. Teams of 8 to 10 participants compete in fast-paced, browser-based challenges (using Brainstorm and/or Minute 2 Win It activities) to earn the supplies they need to complete their builds.

  • Trivia and puzzles
  • Photo and video challenges
  • Fully browser-based access (no downloads required)
  • Live memory capture with event photos and video clips

As teams earn points, they “purchase” supplies to:

  • Stuff plush bears to perfection
  • Decorate custom t-shirts to give each bear a unique identity
  • Swaddle the completed bears in warm, soft blankets

Every completed bear-and-blanket bundle will be donated to a child in need, offering comfort and a sense of security. Whenever possible, a representative from the partner charity attends to share a few words of gratitude, connecting the team directly to the lives they’ve touched.

Program Outcomes & Takeaways

  • Reinforces a shared sense of purpose and compassion
  • Provides an inclusive, creative space for every participant
  • Boosts team morale through meaningful collaboration
  • Builds deeper connections across departments and roles
  • Creates a lasting, emotional team memory through giving

Program Customization

Your program can be personalized for your group by:

  • Reflecting a company culture or event theme
  • Work with our charity coordinators to select a local or national donation partner
  • Tailoring donations tothe  receiving organization’s specific needs

The possibilities are endless, but the outcome is always the same: a proud team of employees helping children to know someone cares. Ready to comfort children in need and inspire your team through giving? Book your Bears and Blankets event today!

To ensure a great experience, aspects of these team-building activities may be modified for your group size, group makeup, time available, and other variables.

Our historically popular iPad activities are still available upon request.

Having the Bear program at our corporate event was a HUGE hit! Our clients and partners were engaged and loved creating the stuffed animals. This was our first time attempting to do a charity event during our conference and the feedback we received was amazing. This is definitely something we will plan on doing for our next user conference. Your team was lovely and we were thrilled to have had them guide the group and be so helpful. Thank you so much for helping us make our event a huge success!! We will be in touch next year as well.

Watching everyone design their t-shirts for the bears after learning the reason for the activity was fun. It became a competition for some tables to have the most creative and cheerful shirts. I think they really enjoyed the program. There were lots of Selfies and smiles going around when showing off their bears. It was a fun event!

We loved the iPad trivia teamwork and customized songs at the end. Our employees LOVED every part of the activities and the chosen charity rep introduction at the end. Numerous employees said this was “The Best Team building event EVER”. From start to end this was by far the most fun and rewarding event we have held here at ELAP. Our facilitator was INCREDIBLE and everyone truly enjoyed him and the event. We will definitely be in touch for future programs!
