Enjoy a recap of the top 10 team building activities produced by Better Teams in 2020. While we didn’t start the year with virtual team activities, by April, every activity was designed for remote teams, as most of the world was social distancing.
We’ve pulled the ones you all liked the most so you can have them in one place. They can all be adapted for in-person events too.
Hoping you find a few that you will try with your team.
