Bears and Blankets: 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.
The Brainstorm platform includes:
- 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.
