The details
How Bears and Blankets works
Bears and Blankets is a heartwarming charity event where your teams will build items to comfort younger children in distress through various charitable organizations.
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 teddy bears 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.
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.
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.

FAQs about Bears and Blankets
What is a teddy bear team building event?
Bears and Blankets is our teddy bear charity event. Teams of 8 to 10 play short browser-based challenges to earn their supplies, then stuff plush bears, decorate a bear-size t-shirt for each one and wrap it in a blanket. Every finished bear and blanket is donated to a child in need.
Where do the teddy bears go?
To organizations that support children who have been through trauma, such as crisis centers and police departments that hand a bear to a child at a hard moment. You can name your own nonprofit, or our charitable coordination team will suggest one near your venue. Whenever possible, someone from the organization comes to accept the donation and thank your group.
How many people can take part?
30 to 1,000+, in teams of 8 to 10. Plan on about 25 square feet per person, indoors or outdoors.
How long does it take?
1 to 1.5 hours.
What's included, and what do we need to provide?
We bring the bears, stuffing, t-shirts and blankets, a professional facilitator and event staff, the game platform and tech support, and we coordinate delivery with the charity. You provide the space, Wi-Fi, and a microphone for groups over 50.
How far ahead should we book?
Four weeks or more is best, because the bears and supplies ship to your venue and the charity needs time to confirm it can take the donation.
