virtual fall activities and games for work teams
this article will feature 10+ awesome fall virtual team-building activities including arts and crafts, happy hour, games, and more!
Fall is a great opportunity to gear up for the holiday season and welcome your teams back from summer vacation. We want morale to be high, and teams to be excited to be back in work after spending some well-deserved PTO, so what can you do? Virtual activities and virtual games are a great way to add some diversity to everyone’s routine and create a diversion from work. Team building activities allow us to connect, engage and have fun in light-hearted and creative ways. As leaders, you are showing your employees that their experience matters, and for employees, these sessions can help build memories and strengthen bonds with fellow colleagues.
1. cocktail making
Fall brings us a set of delicious flavors like pumpkin, cinnamon, maple, and apple, so why not kick things off with an exciting mixology experience? In this session, your team will be sent a cocktail-making kit, and a professional bartender will show them how to stir, shake, and pour three delicious cocktails, like a Cinamon Crush cocktail and an Apple Cider Martini! This session will teach your team great skills that will serve them throughout this holiday season, to show off to their friends and family. Plus, a Fall happy hour experience is a great way to recharge and celebrate milestones or projects this season!
2. cookie decorating
Invite your team to channel their eating creativity with a delicious reward! Send your team a cookie decorating kit with some delicious sugar cookies and plenty of royal icing to create their very own designs. An experienced instructor will guide them and teach them basic key concepts like outlining and flooding, and then let them go wild! This is a perfect opportunity to get the whole team involved, including any kids at home. Our designs include Fall designs like pumpkins, pies, and acorns, or Halloween-themed ideas like these adorable Jack O Lanterns and ghosts.

3. Chocolate Bomb Making
There is nothing like a warm drink, like a delicious cup of cocoa, to keep us cozy this fall season! Invite your team to create their own chocolate bombs filled with delicious marshmallows, sprinkles, and cocoa powder, ready to be dunked in a hot cup of milk. Your team will receive an all-inclusive hot chocolate bomb-making kit delivered right to their door, with all the equipment and ingredients needed to make a delicious cup of cocoa!
4. wreath decorating
Wreath-making may seem intimidating, but it is far from it. With the help of one of our instructors, participants will learn how to craft their very own festive Fall wreath, that will make their home that extra bit welcoming! Your team will learn the history of wreaths, and learn how they can assemble one from the comfort of their home. Our kits include all the materials needed, like a wreath base, florals, pine greenery, and some special decorative touches to make it that much more fun!
5. Wine Tasting experience
Make your team feel like they are in magical Napa Valley this fall with a luxurious wine-tasting experience! We will send deluxe wine kits, including a red, white, and seasonal rosé, right to their door. To elevate this experience, add a cocktail-making aspect where your team can learn how to spruce up their wine or send snacks like cheese or cracker pairings. This experience is a great way to celebrate a team milestone, or show some employee appreciation!
6. Candle Making
Invite your team to learn how to melt, pour and decorate candles from the comfort of their homes - it is simpler than it sounds! This team-building experience allows your team to create something incredibly gratifying, and they have a great end product they can burn themselves or share with a loved one. To elevate this candle-making experience, choose our cozy Fall scents, including Pine Forest, Apple Cinamon, and Pumpkin Eggnog.
7. Scavenger Hunt
Set your team on a quest to gather as many ‘signs of fall’ with an energizing scavenger hunt! A hilarious host leads our scavenger hunt experience, who will have your teams racing to find themed items like a cozy sweater, plaid shirt, a fall candle, and much more. This experience is such a light-hearted and easy way to engage your teams, and give them an experience they won’t forget!
8. quiz showdown
Challenge your team with an awesome session of trivia, the perfect way to inspire some light-hearted competition this season! Our hilarious host will test your team’s knowledge in several categories, including Fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.

To spice up the game, we can help you coordinate fun virtual (or physical) prizes for the winners.

Speaking of comfort food, how about inviting your team to make the perfect comfort pot of soup? Zero Waste Week (Sep 4th-Sep 8th) is a global initiative to reduce our household and landfill waste, so why not invite a zero-waste chef and cookbook author to share their best tips and tricks on reducing waste while making tasty, comforting meals? This experience will teach your team to use ingredients they already have on hand, like have-seen-better-days veggies, leftover beans, proteins and carbohydrates, and even cheese rinds! This one-pot meal is a great option for the colder months and the busy back-to-school season.
10. FALL ICEBREAKERS
