Back to All Team Building Events | Virtual Team Activities | The Virtual Version of Rescue Bear ®
Kim Moore, “The instructor was amazing and really fun to work with. The event reinforced some of the training that the group went through the day before and encouraged people to think outside the box when communicating with coworkers. We will definitely recommend the event to other workgroups in our company.”
Virtual Rescue Bear ® Team Activity.
👍 Great for Logistically Diverse Groups.
📊 Focuses on the Strengths of Team Members and the Group as a Whole.
This is the virtual version of the heartwarming Rescue Bear ® team building activity. This is a hybrid team activity that combines fun team building and solid team development.
First, we send each of your team members a sealed box with a “Do Not Open Until” message. Inside each box are all the materials needed to build a single bear. (We also include postage and a shipping label to send it to the charity.)
⏰ 1.5 Hours | 👥 15-100 People | 💲 $90-$140/person
How Does the Virtual Teddy Bear Team Building Work?
Your team meets virtually via Zoom or any other virtual platform. In the first activity, participants sort themselves based on the strengths of their personality. (We use a fun game that is remarkably accurate as a strength-finder.
After the group is segregated by personality, they solve challenges based on each of their personal strengths. They must solve every challenge to be able open their Rescue Bear ® box.
The catch is that to finish the game, the team must rely on the strengths of the entire group – not just their own.
Because the team has to work together as one cohesive group, they all end up opening their boxes at about the same time. We spend a few minutes stuffing the bears and posing for virtual photos. Finally, the boxes are sealed back up and shipped to The Child Rescue Coalition. The bears will make their way to detectives in the Special Victim’s Unit department to be given to kids who have been through trauma. (Yes, they really are Rescue Bears ®.)
Make Your Virtual Charity Bike Building Event Even More Impactful by Adding Classroom Modules or Workshop Topics.
Here are a few sample modules:

Turn Your Fun Virtual Meeting into a Half-Day Workshop or Full-Day Seminar.
You can easily add modules from our Creating a Team Culture program to increase the value of the time spent with your group!
We organize this content in one-hour (to 1.5 hour) modules. So, we can customize the additional sessions to the specific needs of your team. Add just a single module to make the team escape room into a half-day training session.
Or, add four modules to create a custom day of team development!
Your instructor can help you customize the content based on the needs of your group. Or, you could start with an Assessment Workshop to pinpoint the specific areas of training that will give your group the most value.
