5 Team Building Games for Remote Workers

Do you remember your group projects in college? Remember how important it was if everyone took responsibility and actually completed their tasks? The result would be absolute perfection then. But it didn’t always go like this, did it?

Building a coherent and strong team is extremely important for the competency of a business. Having teams with so many good talents doesn’t always equal a successful business. You have to know how you can utilize everyone to the best of their abilities.

Before the remote work era, it was easy for people to build a competent team because they had many chances to spend time together. Spending a day in the office used to open up places for social gatherings. However, with the rise of remote work, it’s challenging to create team building opportunities for employees. They spend much less time together now.

But, there’s a very effective way of building teams even when people are at home. Games! It might sound a little childish but playing games can improve team spirit tremendously.

Remember the times when you played with your friends when you were little? Hide and seek, dodgeball or Monopoly? All of them depended on communication you established with your friends. While playing you actually had the chance to get to know them in detail. The same can be achieved in the business world as well.

Of course, when everyone is at home, you can’t play dodgeball. Therefore, there are plenty of online opportunities that you can take advantage of. By playing games, you can learn about their sides you never knew about before. You can feel yourself developing a connection with them.

In this article we listed five virtual games you can play while improving your teamwork with your co-workers.
