Creativity
Bears, Blankets & Books
​
In this feel-good team building program, guests will be broken up into teams, and tasked with completing a series of tests in order to become certified to create something truly unique, something handmade, and most importantly, something made with love and care.
After completing a series of tasks, teams will create their own personal, handmade snuggle package to be donated to children at Children’s Hospital, Family Place, or your charity of choice. Each team will have the opportunity to make a teddy bear come to life, hand make blankets that will keep the bear and his new owner warm throughout the night, and write a personal message inside the cover of a book to add for each child.
These handmade, special snuggle packages will warm the hearts of the children who receive them and give them hope for whatever is next. Not only will each team member come together in the creation of something truly handmade, but they will also be shown the importance of the impact they can make working together as a team.
Crocks and Socks
​
The best way to make it anywhere in life is to simply put one foot in front of the other, but without the proper footwear, this can be far more difficult than is necessary. Children who are neglected or abused don’t get to take many possessions as they leave the home: two of them being socks and shoes. Socks help keep little toes warm at night, while sandals keep little feet cool, yet safe, during the hot Texas summer days. Introducing: Crocks and Socks!
Crocks and Socks is a fun ice-breaking game which encourages attendees to interact to find who has the shoe matching theirs. Once they find their “sole-mate”, they get to go pick out socks and prepare a Footwear Bag with their items to be given to someone who could really use them.
Gifted Guitars
​
Get your team strummin’ and groovin with this fun give-back program where you will be assembling and gifting guitars to deserving children in your area.
Guests will collaborate with their team and become their own Stevie Ray Van Gogh by decorating their guitar with a unique style and flare.
After each team has decorated their “music piece” it is time to assemble the stringed instrument and become a true artist.
Once completed it is time to take stage and become part of the “Greatest Band of all Time” move over Eric Clapton.
This is an event any music lover is sure to enjoy, Gifted Guitar is perfect for a fun and meaningful team building experience.
Kicks for Kids
​Guests will be greeted with a fun, energetic icebreaker and then divided into teams. As a team, guests will pool their strengths to create and customize a design for the special feet which will be receiving this unique pair of shoes. Guests can also personalize their gift by including an inspirational greeting card.
This creative and heart-warming team building activity will leave guests with a feeling of aspiration and purpose. Not only will each guest have a hand in the creation of a truly unique and handmade design but will also leave knowing that the shoes will be going to a child in need.
Leave a Legacy
​
Warm, well-run classrooms begin with the room’s feng shui — the arrangement of desks and working space, the attractiveness and appeal of bulletin boards, the storage of materials and supplies. All child experts will tell you: one of the most important ways of encouraging a child’s interest in school is to set up their own study corner. Having a dedicated “learning area” encourages them to focus on their homework and even enjoy it.
This inspiring exercise combines tools, communication, and a unique twist on the old game of “telephone.” Groups divide into teams of nine or more to follow instructions and build one bookshelf, one junior office chair and one laptop desk to create a Mini Classroom.
Mighty Green Thumb
In this hands on team building activity, guests must be prepared to get a little down and dirty, but don’t worry it is for a good cause!
Guests will have the opportunity to give back to the community by planting flowers, plants and succulents right from their own office. Guests can continue to nurture the plant as a team in the office, or donate to a retirement home, preschool, or charity of choice.
Painting Puzzle Masterpiece
​Where do you fit into the puzzle? How does your group fit into the grand scale of things?
Participants are divided into smaller teams and are given just one piece of the puzzle. With an array of colors and tools they must recreated their piece into a larger version. Using only the colors of their imaginations the creativity is unlimited. Once the piece is finished they must then figure out how they fit with what the other teams have created. Even though you have a wide variety of colors and styles your team as a whole will create a masterpiece.
Petals for a Purpose
​Believe it or not, we have a close relationship with the plants around us. Studies have shown that both plants and humans prosper in health and happiness when they work closely together. Simply by being around nature our bodies release endorphins to make us feel better.
In this team building activity guests have the opportunity to spread those good feelings far and wide to the people who deserve it most.
Guests will design their own arrangements, choosing flowers from an array of different flower choices. Making an arrangement with love is more than just putting plants in a vase. Guests will be encouraged to think about color schemes, ribbons, and other decorating options.
After the guests have finalized their lovely floral arrangements, they will then be donated to local nursing and assisted living facilities. It is shown that adding plants to homes and hospices increases overall mood and may even help us to live longer.
Give the gift of life and love with a hand-made floral arrangement and your recipients will not soon be forgetting the good people that thought of them.

Teams will be challenged with connecting their section to the preceding and succeeding ones. It's a symphony of coordination, teamwork, and ingenuity as they ensure that every element flows harmoniously, embodying the interconnectedness of their shared mission.
