What are good winter team building activities for work?

Winter is kickoff season: January sales meetings, Q1 all-hands, leadership offsites and the post-holiday reset. The programs that fit run entirely indoors and give a room a reason to compete or build together. Best Corporate Feud and Jeoparody Live! open a kickoff in 60 to 90 minutes; Chocolate Architect and Food Truck Face-Off turn a cold afternoon into a culinary competition; Build-a-Guitar and Bridge to the Future keep a ballroom busy for two hours or more and leave something behind.

Charity programs suit winter as well: Bears and Blankets, Cancer Care Comfort Packs and Build-a-Rollator all run indoors in 1 to 2 hours, and the donations go to partners in the host city.

What clients say

We have done game shows at all of our sales meetings in the past, but your Best Corporate Feud program using keypads that involved everyone at the event with the game show ending was the most innovative and inclusive game show we have ever done.

More client comments

The group is still talking about the OUTSTANDING Best Corporate Feud program you delivered for us. I received major kudos for this event and for your personable host. We want you to come back and do our 2016 Kick-Off Event, so start thinking of ideas for us! An absolute pleasure to work with you and looking forward to doing it again soon!

The Bridge to the Future event was AWESOME! Thank you soooooooo much for a fabulous time—everyone LOVED the event! And I truly thank you again for your patience in adjusting the schedule and delivering the program later in the day. Hope to see you again next year!

The BainBridge Companies

I have received nothing but positive feedback from our staff. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. You made the time pass by very quickly and most of all FUN. You are an incredible host and I thank Best Corporate Events for making our event a success. Thanking you from the “Beary” bottom of our hearts.

International Federation of Accountants

Overall, this was a great event and the client had positive comments from the minute the program started with the interactive icebreaker. Your lead facilitator put everyone’s mind (and anxiety level) at ease with his positive, customer service oriented attitude. It was never about his way of doing things but more about flexibility and what needs to be done to make sure the group had an enjoyable, and successful event. He had folks engaged (including the CEO and VP’s) from the onset of the program and the participation level was very high. As the liaison between Best Corporate Events and my client, I felt very comfortable releasing everything into his control and tried my best to stay out of

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.

Our team had a great time and enjoyed both events. The Food Truck was a huge success and that was everyone’s favorite activity. Thanks again for your assistance. Best Corporate Events is excellent to work with and we appreciate you being able to customize the activities for our group. Have a great day!

Our Food Truck Face-Off lead facilitator Chef Matt had the room well organized and ready to start when we were. He had quite a challenge talking over 600 people. The judging was completed in time for our evening event and the medals were a great hit. The collaboration with the in-house chef was key; they worked well together. Chef Matt is very professional, and a pleasure to work with. It was the right time to do a food truck challenge in our case because we were recently purchased by Kroger. Please thank the entire team that worked to make this event a success. I appreciate the long hours and hard work. Now we can all breathe!

Frequently asked questions

What team building works for a January sales kickoff?

A game show. Best Corporate Feud and Jeoparody Live! run 1 to 1.5 hours for 30 to 1,000+, and the questions can be written around your products and company so the competition doubles as a refresher.

Do winter programs need an outdoor space?

No. Every program on this page runs indoors in a ballroom or meeting room.

Can we do a charity program in winter?

Yes. Bears and Blankets, Cancer Care Comfort Packs and Build-a-Rollator run indoors in 1 to 2 hours, with donations delivered to local partners.

How far ahead should we book a winter date?

Kickoff season fills first. Give us the city and date in the fall and program choice can follow.

What about a winter program for a remote or hybrid team?

Virtual editions of the game shows, trivia and charity programs run for distributed teams in the same 1 to 2 hour window. See our virtual programs.

What space does an indoor winter program need?

A ballroom or meeting room with about 20 to 25 square feet per person, round tables for the build and culinary programs, and a screen and sound system for game shows with groups over 50.

How big a group can take part?

Every program on this page runs for 30 to 1,000+, in teams of about 6 to 10. A sales kickoff of 400 and a leadership offsite of 40 get the same program, scaled by the number of teams.

Can a winter program be a charity event?

Yes. Bears and Blankets, Cancer Care Comfort Packs and Build-A-Rollator run indoors in 1 to 2 hours, and the finished donations go to charitable partners in the host city.
