1. Weave stronger connections with string art
If you're seeking fun virtual group activities for teams, a creative string art class is a great way to help your team connect and unwind. In a Make String Art with Lights workshop with Nurullah Gokdogan, you and your colleagues will design unique patterns by wrapping colorful string around nails on a wooden board, with the option to add twinkling lights for extra flair.
This relaxing virtual get-together is the perfect opportunity to chat and bond while making something meaningful together. With endless design possibilities, everyone will leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that brightens both their home office and their team spirit.

2. Learn to slow down with soothing candle making
Everyone deserves a break, and if you're keen to help your co-workers unwind and de-stress, what could be better than a calming, creative activity? In a Make Soy Candles workshop, your team will learn how to craft beautifully scented candles from scratch, guided by an expert teacher from The Crafty Kit.
The process of melting, pouring, and blending fragrances is both relaxing and rewarding, giving colleagues space to chat, slow down, and enjoy a mindful moment together. At the end of the session, everyone will have a handmade candle to keep, serving as a warm reminder of the shared experience. This happy student recommends it and The Craft Kit for virtual group activities.

3. Bring your team together over good food
Few things bring people together quite like food, and online cooking classes are one of the most delicious ways to bond as a team. These interactive workshops go beyond the recipe, giving colleagues the chance to share laughs, swap tips, and create something tasty together from their own kitchens. With a smorgasbord of options on offer: from the bold spices of Thailand to the hearty flavors of Greece and Italy, to the rich traditions of French cuisine, there’s something to tempt every palate.
For a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, try a Pizza Party at Home class. Each team member receives a kit packed with fresh ingredients and everything needed to craft their own pies from scratch. Guided by a friendly instructor from Culinary Kisses, everyone will learn how to stretch dough, layer toppings, and bake up a masterpiece that’s entirely their own. It’s all the fun of an in-office pizza party (without the cleanup) and one of the easiest virtual group activities for your team that you’ll ever organize.
4. Become master mixologists at your next virtual get-together
Who says you need to be on a beach to enjoy tropical vibes? With a Make Hawaiian Cocktails and Mocktails at Home workshop, your team can sip, shake, and laugh together from the comfort of their own homes.
