If you want to let your employees individuality shine while promoting cooperation at the same time, consider a single craft project that your employees can create together as a team. We’ll showcase three team building projects that fit the bill.

Giant Motivational Tumbling Tower

Our giant motivational tumbling tower project delivers twice the fun! Not only will your team have a great time creating this project, they’ll also have fun playing it at future company events. With 54 pieces, this set can accommodate almost any group size. Depending on how large your team is, team members will be given one or more wooden blocks to work with.

Each employee will get to choose their own wood stain and paint colors to stain and stencil their block(s) allowing them to express their individual creativity while working together to create a completed tumbling tower game.

The words that are stenciled onto the sides of the wood can form a sentence, individual phrases or a combination of both! We have a selection of quotes available or we can create stencils with custom quotes for your team (for an additional fee). The giant motivational tumbling tower set stands at approximately 10″W x 23″H.

“Teamwork Makes the Dream Work” String Art Project

This team string art project contains 81 wooden pieces which, once completed, spells out “TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK”. Depending on the size of your team, everyone will receive at least one piece of wood and a portion of a letter template.

Similar to completing a puzzle, employees will need to work as a team to piece together the letter templates to create a single letter, then find the appropriate size pieces of wood to fit the letter.

Once the team figures out the “puzzle”, employees will stain the wood pieces, hammer nails into the wood using the letter templates and finish by stringing the design. They will then proceed to glue the wood pieces together to spell out “TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK”. Hang the completed masterpiece in your conference or break room!

Each letter is approximately 8″H and width varies from approximately 4″ to 6″ depending on the letter.

Wooden Flag Banner

Like the tumbling tower project, our wooden flag banner project allows your employees to express their individual creativity while creating something together at the same time. Choose an inspirational word or phrase for your banner and we’ll supply all the tools and materials to create it. Depending on the number of letters in the word/phrase you have chosen and the number of employees on your team, each person will receive at least one wooden flag and letter stencil.

Each employee will get to choose their own wood stain, paint colors and/or glitter to stain, stencil and decorate their flag(s) allowing them to express their individual creativity while working together to create a completed banner. Hang the completed masterpiece in your conference or break room!

Blind Communication Sign

How it works:

Team members are paired up for an exercise in communication.
One individual is blindfolded and given a paintbrush, while the other instructs them where to paint to stay within the stencil.
Each team of two will have 60 seconds to stencil a single letter, before handing the paintbrush over to the next team.
Team members take turns being either the painter or the communicator so they get to experience both.
Teams are re-paired with new teammates each round, so that individuals have an opportunity to communicate with multiple people.

At the end of this event you’ll have a sign to hang in your office or break room. The sign says, “You’re only as strong as your weakest link”. If you prefer a different quote, we can create custom stencils for an additional fee.
