It helps them to build a relationship with their teams naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But virtual team bonding activities are much different than in-office team building. Remote team building is not just putting your team in a video call together and telling them to work together. The rise of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fieldservicely.com\/blog\/remote-work-statistics-trends-affecting-field-service-industry\">remote work statistics trends<\/a> affecting the field service industry highlights the unique challenges faced by remote teams, such as coordination across dispersed locations and ensuring consistent communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/state-of-remote-work-2019\">According to Buffer Remote Work Report 2019<\/a>, remote workers face a lot of challenges like loneliness and less communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/JdTBhsRTHATPGDeI0DFSuZYby_X69pXFmmKiycbVDYUrCsnYaDDU9-l64r340BpF_oAFnrKycWjDBKmhksHzXKVntGP6V8K_2TwhknzD2Tntpf9sOwBIcr0U9MUFrhBc3dKIoj-nqC6mPGCJmD_Z00uGhSj8bM7njGmSGIAC7syN-SS9tN2Fu_b1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When your team is never under the same roof together, you have to take different approaches, techniques, and skills to build a strong team culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular team socializing helps to build a genuine human connection with remote teams and builds trust. And virtual team building games and activities result in more productive, effective, and happier teams, and a stronger company!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the best part: Remote team building is not expensive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An Internet connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A video conferencing tool like Zoom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A team messaging app like Slack or MS Teams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-remote-teams-should-play-virtual-games\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Remote_Teams_Should_Play_Virtual_Games\"><\/span><strong>Why Remote Teams Should Play Virtual Games<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-games-relieve-stress\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Games_relieve_stress\"><\/span><strong>Games relieve stress<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/remote-work-challenges\/\">common challenges remote workers face<\/a> is Stress. The boundary between <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/work-life-balance\/\">work and home life<\/a> blurs for people as they have to work in the same place they sleep. They can get worried about their career, growth, and families and they may get anxious and stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mental.jmir.org\/2019\/7\/e12853\/\">Studies have shown<\/a> that games can help in reducing stress. We all love playing games. It\u2019s a great escape from all our worries and anxiety. Today, companies not only support their employees\u2019 career goals, but they also support their mental well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing a 15-minutes game every day will help you feel included and connected to your team.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/trivia\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-games-improve-productivity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Games_improve_productivity\"><\/span><strong>Games improve productivity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Games are a great way to improve performance, productivity, and creativity within the team. Teams have more tasks, deadlines, targets to meet, and they tend to lose focus and motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found that moving to a remote setup actually brought some challenges in front of us. Along with a regular workload, employees have to communicate more and deal with distractions in their households. So we decided to play 15-minutes games every day, such as Trivia quizzes, drawing, paper boat, storytelling, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/remote-employee-pulse-surveys\/\">our remote employee pulse surveys<\/a>, employees said that they like this initiative and feel more productive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-games-help-remote-teams-socialize\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Games_help_remote_teams_socialize\"><\/span><strong>Games help remote teams socialize<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face it: remote working can be a lonely, disconnected experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosocloud.com\/press-releases\/connectsolutions-survey-shows-working-remotely-benefits-employers-and-employees\">According to a study<\/a>, more than half of remote employees say they feel disconnected from in-office employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of virtual games and activities as a replacement for the \u201cwatercooler.\u201d It\u2019s an opportunity for remote employees to catch up, socialize, and connect in a way they might not otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, one Friday, Radhika hosted a storytelling activity with our remote team. And people shared their untold stories and experience \u2013 From a life-defining trip that brought the first purchase of an iPhone to volunteering work with underprivileged children. The virtual team-building event was a success. Think creative ways to engage your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\">Recommended Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/mental-health-of-remote-employees\/\">Mental Health of Remote Employees: 11 Ways to Support Them<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-virtual-team-building-games-and-activities\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Virtual_Team_Building_Games_and_Activities\"><\/span><strong>7 Virtual Team Building Games and Activities<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-scavenger-hunt\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Scavenger_Hunt\"><\/span><strong>1. Scavenger Hunt<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scavenger hunts allow team members to collaborate with one another, while also letting them delegate tasks and utilize each other\u2019s strengths and skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Split your employees into two or more teams. Create a list of items that you think most people will have in their homes. Set the clock for 5 minutes and get each team to go and find their items. If you\u2019re on a video call, ask each team to show what they have found. And the team with the most collected items is the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-storytelling\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Storytelling\"><\/span><strong>2. Storytelling<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We, humans, live for stories! Create a Zoom call and give some random words to every person. And then, ask them to create a story using those random words. It\u2019s really fun and your employees are also going to love it as they spread laughter with their stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-creative-introduction-of-new-hires\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Creative_Introduction_of_New_Hires\"><\/span><strong>3.

Here\u2019s a fun, creative method of making introductions of new hires less awkward and more light-hearted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask each person, \u201cIf you could be any cartoon character, which would it be?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each person must then write their answer on a piece of paper. Count to three, and ask people to show their answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-riddles-and-quizzes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Riddles_and_Quizzes\"><\/span><strong>4.

Just jump on Trivia, and create a quiz. Invite your team to join and give them a few seconds to respond to each question. Tally the scores and announce the winner. It will help teams bond, no matter where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-memory-games\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Memory_Games\"><\/span><strong>5.

It\u2019s a communication game where someone describes a picture, and everyone draws what they hear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use tools like Skribbl, Wordraw, and Drawasaurus or just use Zoom\u2019s Share Screen+Whiteboard feature. Just get the team online and you can immediately start playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-two-truths-and-a-lie\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Two_Truths_and_a_Lie\"><\/span><strong>6. Two Truths and a Lie<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a light and fun game. Host a video call and ask each employee to tell two truths and one lie about themselves(not work-related). Keep the lie realistic, so it won\u2019t be so easy for everyone to guess. The other employees need to guess which was the lie and whoever guesses the right gains a gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-this-or-that\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_This_or_That\"><\/span><strong>7.

The players are supposed to make their preferences known by choosing an answer option, even if neither of them really appeals to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no right or wrong answers in the game.
