What team building activities work for a small group?

It depends where the line sits. Our in-person programs are produced events with a facilitator, equipment and staging, and they start at 30 participants. Below that, two kinds of program fit. Virtual programs run for as few as 10 (Virtual Impress the Sharks) or 20 (Virtual Murder Mystery: Mavericks on the Case), and the virtual workshops are built for groups of up to 20 or 25. Facilitated workshops such as the DiSC Workshop, Colors Behavioral Assessment and Emotional Intelligence Training accept any group size.

For a small team in the same room, a workshop is often the better choice: three to four hours with a professional trainer and a behavioral assessment, built around the people at the table rather than a game designed for a ballroom.

Our group definitely enjoyed Virtual Best Corporate Feud ! The energy was great, and the activity was easy to understand. Just working as a team in a casual environment really helped to bond the group. Our host Bradley was great and really adapts to his audience. Everyone had fun!

Did we enjoy Virtual Best Corporate Feud? We sure did! It was so much fun competing with one another in a fun way. The program helped enhance the solid camaraderie that was in place for our group. We felt like our host (Paul) was one of us…that guy should be on TV! This was perfect, the most fun we’ve had as a group in a long time!! Let’s do it again!

Martha Braxton

Everyone enjoyed our Virtual Best Corporate Feud event. It was fun, enjoyable, and not too long. The banter amongst the teams as we learned the remaining top answers was the best part! It was a great bonding experience that we were able to interreact and have a laugh with our customers Bradley was a fabulous host. Great communication in preparation for our event. He got everyone motivated and kept things moving through the game. Overall, it was a great event and Bradley was a fabulous host. I will recommend Best Corporate Events!

Did we enjoy our event? YES!!!! All of it was so much fun! We loved the host inviting everyone in and making them feel like a part of the experience. Our host Bradley was amazing – interactive, fun & relatable. I loved how he made everyone comfortable in the beginning logging in and even pulled up a video someone spoke about to enjoy before the event began 🙂 🙂 🙂 He helped along the bonding aspect of the activity by calling out people by name and allowing conversations. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable experience. Thanks!

We very much enjoyed our Virtual Best Corporate Feud program! It was great because we had 3 new employees who were thrown into breakout rooms and they got to know the other staff. It was a great way to get together during these trying times. Excellent event, everyone had a lot of fun!

Kathleen Enright

Our DiSC workshop was a great and extremely organized event! Our facilitator Stephanie was perfect for us. Very outgoing! We learned more about each other’s working styles to better communicate and connect. It was fun finding out the “do” and the “don’t” and having fun with it. Everyone had a great time – I recommend DiSC for every team!!

Everyone said they enjoyed our Virtual Best Corporate Feud experience. The answers some of the team members came up with were so funny and the group relaxed and enjoyed each other’s company. Our host Paul was friendly, and very personable – he did a great job.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum group size for in-person team building?

Our produced in-person programs start at 30 participants; game shows such as Best Corporate Feud and A Minute 2 Win It! run for 30 to 1,000+. The exceptions are the facilitated workshops (DiSC Workshop, Colors Behavioral Assessment, Emotional Intelligence Training) and Corporate Canvas, which accept any group size and are delivered in person.

What can a team of 10 to 15 book?

Virtual Impress the Sharks runs from 10 participants. Virtual Coaching and Feedback and the Virtual Presentations Workshop are built for groups of up to 20, so a team of 10 to 15 fits comfortably. In person, any of the facilitated workshops or Corporate Canvas will take a group that size.

Are there indoor options for a small group?

Yes. The DiSC Workshop, Colors Behavioral Assessment and Emotional Intelligence Training are indoor programs that need only a meeting room, set classroom-style or in rounds. Corporate Canvas is an indoor painting program for any group size, 1.5 to 2 hours, with 2 to 4 painters per canvas.

Which DiSC activities work for a small group?

Two. The in-person DiSC Workshop runs 3 to 4 hours for any group size with a DiSC-certified trainer, personalized workshop activities and DiSC assessment and profile materials. The Virtual DiSC Behavioral Assessment runs 2 to 6 hours for up to 25 people on your video platform, with program materials sent to each participant.

Is there a virtual option for a small team?

Yes. Virtual Impress the Sharks (10 to 100), Virtual Murder Mystery: Mavericks on the Case (20 to 300) and the virtual workshops (up to 20 or 25) all run on your video conferencing platform with a professional facilitator. See every option on the virtual programs page.

How long do small group programs run?

Virtual Murder Mystery: Mavericks on the Case runs 90 minutes and Virtual Impress the Sharks 2 hours. The in-person workshops run 3 to 4 hours and Corporate Canvas 1.5 to 2 hours. Virtual workshops are booked in blocks: Conducting Better Virtual Meetings runs 2 to 3 hours, Leading Virtual Teams 3 to 9 hours.

What is included in a workshop for a small group?

The DiSC Workshop includes a DiSC-certified trainer, personalized workshop activities and printed or digital learning resources; the interactive DiSC assessment and profile materials are priced separately. Colors Behavioral Assessment and Emotional Intelligence Training include prep, production coordination, program design and an experienced professional trainer. Virtual workshops include facilitation on your video platform and materials for each participant.

Do small group programs need much space or equipment?

No. The workshops need a meeting room set classroom-style or in rounds, and materials come with the program. Virtual programs need only your video conferencing platform of choice; Virtual Murder Mystery: Mavericks on the Case also uses participants' mobile devices for their character roles. At 30 and up, a game show such as Best Corporate Feud lists a projector, screen and audio system as its tech requirements.

Who facilitates, and can the program be customized?

A professional facilitator runs every program. Workshops are led by an experienced professional trainer, and the DiSC Workshop by a DiSC-certified trainer. Virtual Coaching and Feedback and Building Your Hybrid Team are customized to your goals and outcomes, and Virtual Impress the Sharks and Virtual Murder Mystery run in teams of 5 or 6 so everyone takes part.

Can a small team join a larger event?

Yes. If several departments together reach 30, the group can book any in-person program. Game shows run in teams: Best Corporate Feud plays in teams of 6 to 10 and A Minute 2 Win It! in teams of 6 to 8, so a small team keeps its own table inside the larger event.
