Team Building Activities for Small Groups (In-Person & Virtual)

Team building activities can boost communication, collaboration, and trust among team members. This can lead to a more connected and productive work environment. This is especially true for small groups of professionals: with fewer people, every voice is heard, and each exercise can have a big impact on group dynamics.

Below is a comprehensive list of 21 effective team-building games and activities tailored for small teams in a professional setting. These range from quick icebreakers to structured challenges that encourage teamwork and mutual support. Team leaders and managers can use this guide to energize their teams, improve morale, and strengthen working relationships.

In-Person Team Building Activities

Virtual Team Building Activities

1. Scavenger Hunt

A scavenger hunt is a fun, classic team bonding game that promotes collaboration and friendly competition. To run a scavenger hunt, split your group into small teams and give each a list of fun things to find or do – ideally around the office or a local area.

Teams must find and photograph each item on the list within a time limit, racing to complete the list first. For workplace teams, you can tailor the clues to your company culture or inside jokes to make it more engaging. This activity encourages teamwork as colleagues strategize together, and it can be done in 30–45 minutes, making it perfect for an afternoon break.

Time: 30–60 minutes
Best for: Collaboration, problem-solving, energy boost
Number of players: 4–20 (split into small teams)
How to play: Create a list of items, clues, or tasks to complete. Teams race to find or accomplish them within the set time. First to finish wins.

2. HIGH5 Personality Test for Teams (Strengths Assessment)

HIGH5’s Personality Test for Teams is a team-building assessment tool that helps uncover and leverage the strengths of each team member. Unlike the games and activities above, this is an online strengths quiz and report – but it can be just as engaging and impactful for team development.

Each individual on the team takes the HIGH5 strengths test to identify their top five personal strengths. Then, the team receives a comprehensive Team Strengths Report that compiles these results and provides actionable insights. The report includes valuable features such as:

Group Fit Score – an indicator of how well the team’s mix of strengths aligns, highlighting overall compatibility.
Group Strengths Grid – a visual or tabular layout showing all team members’ top strengths side by side.
Team Strengths Culture & Profile – an analysis of the team’s collective personality, what values dominate, and how the team tends to approach work.
Team Watch-Outs – identification of potential blind spots or risk areas for the team (e.g., if everyone shares a similar strength, the team might lack diversity in another area).
Team Unique Contributors – highlights of which members contribute unique strengths that complement the group.
Workshop Presentation Template & Facilitation Guide – ready-made resources that a leader or facilitator can use to run a team workshop based on the results, including slide decks and step-by-step guidance.

Using a tool like HIGH5 as a team-building activity allows the team to dive into self-awareness and mutual understanding. Team members get to share their individual reports, discuss their different strengths, and acknowledge where each person shines. This often leads to “aha” moments – for example, realizing why certain people excel at particular tasks or how two teammates can partner up to balance each other.

Research shows that teams who know and use each other’s strengths have better dynamics, communication, and collaboration. In fact, when a team leverages what people naturally do best, there’s often higher engagement and fewer conflicts because everyone feels understood and valued. For professionals and leaders, incorporating a strengths assessment like HIGH5 can complement the fun games with a more introspective activity – ultimately helping turn a group of individuals into a high-performing team built on mutual respect and aligned talents.

Time: 30–60 minutes (assessment + discussion)
Best for: Self-awareness, understanding team dynamics, leveraging strengths
Number of players: Any team size (ideal for 3–20)
How to play: Each member takes the HIGH5 strengths test. Then review the Team Strengths Report together, using features like the Group Fit Score, Group Strengths Grid, Team Strengths Profile, Watch-outs, Unique Contributors, and optional Workshop templates to guide a discussion.

3. Human Knot

The Human Knot is a physical, hands-on team-building game that requires real teamwork. The group stands in a circle and each person grabs the hands of two different people across from them, forming a “knot” of intertwined arms.

The challenge is for the team to untangle themselves without breaking the chain of hands. This activity naturally fosters communication and cooperation as everyone must talk through moves and carefully coordinate. It’s also a lot of fun and gets people laughing.

The objective is to end up with a single circle of team members with arms unlinked. Typically suited for about 6–16 people, a Human Knot can be untangled in around 15–20 minutes if the team works together efficiently.

Time: 15–20 minutes
Best for: Communication, teamwork, problem-solving
Number of players: 6–16
How to play: Team stands in a circle, each person grabs two random hands. Without letting go, the group works to untangle into a circle.

4. Two Truths and a Lie

Two Truths and a Lie is a classic icebreaker that helps team members get to know interesting facts about each other. Each person in the group shares three statements about themselves – two true statements and one false one.

The rest of the team then discusses and guesses which statement is the lie. This simple game is popular for good reason: it sparks conversations, encourages people to reveal fun or surprising tidbits about themselves, and improves observation skills as everyone listens closely to spot the lie.

Two Truths and a Lie is quick to play and works with any size group (small groups of 3–8 are ideal). It’s a fantastic opening activity to lighten the mood and build connections among professionals who may not know each other well.

Time: 10–15 minutes
Best for: Icebreaking, conversation starters, team bonding, observation skills
Number of players: Any group size (ideal: 3–8)
How to play: Each person shares three statements about themselves—two truths and one lie. The rest of the group discusses and guesses which statement is the lie.

5. Blind Drawing (Back-to-Back Drawing)

Blind Drawing is a communication exercise that highlights the importance of clear instructions and active listening. Pair up team members and have each pair sit back-to-back. One person is given a simple picture or shape, and the other person has blank paper and a pen.

The person with the image must describe the picture to their partner without naming it, and the partner attempts to draw based only on the verbal description. After a few minutes, the pairs compare the drawing to the original image. This fun activity inevitably leads to some laughs and surprises at the results.

More importantly, it emphasizes clarity in communication – the describer has to be precise, and the listener must interpret instructions carefully. Blind Drawing works well with small groups by splitting into pairs, and it drives home how differently people might interpret the same instructions, leading to a discussion on improving communication.

Time: 10–15 minutes
Best for: Communication, listening, clarity
Number of players: Pairs (can run multiple pairs at once)
How to play: One partner describes an image without naming it, and the other draws based on the instructions. Compare drawings at the end.

6. Egg Drop Challenge

The Egg Drop is a classic engineering and problem-solving challenge that’s great for teamwork. Small groups (typically 3–5 people per team) are given basic building materials – e.g., newspapers, straws, tape, balloons, popsicle sticks, etc. – and have about 20 minutes to build a contraption that can protect an egg from a high fall.

After time is up, each team places a raw egg in their device and drops it from a predetermined height (like a second-story window or ladder). The goal is for the egg to survive the fall unbroken. This activity is fantastic for spurring creative thinking and collaboration as teams brainstorm ideas and test structures. It also adds friendly competition to see whose design works best.

The Egg Drop typically takes no more than 30 minutes to plan and execute, and it fosters teamwork and problem-solving under a fun, time-bound challenge.

Pro tip: Have a tarp or garbage bags handy to contain any messy splatters!

Time: 20–30 minutes
Best for: Creativity, problem-solving, collaboration
Number of players: 4–20 (teams of 3–5)
How to play: Teams build contraptions to protect a raw egg using limited materials. Drop eggs from a height; unbroken eggs win.

7. Escape Room

An Escape Room is an immersive team challenge that requires strategy, communication, and quick thinking. In a traditional escape room, a small team is “locked” in a themed room and must work together to find clues and solve a series of puzzles in order to escape within a time limit (usually 1 hour).

For example, the group might need to decipher codes, find hidden objects, and piece together hints that lead to a door key or final mystery. Escape rooms are extremely effective for team building because they demand collaboration under pressure – teammates have to pool their diverse skills, communicate clearly, and keep calm to beat the clock.

Successfully escaping gives the team a shared victory to bond over. If an in-person escape room isn’t feasible, there are also virtual escape room games that remote or hybrid teams can play together online. Either way, this challenge is one of the most engaging ways to strengthen problem-solving skills and trust within a small group.

Time: 45–60 minutes
Best for: Remote collaboration, communication, problem-solving
Number of players: 4–8
How to play: Teams log into an online escape game platform and solve digital puzzles to “escape.”

8. Office Trivia

Office Trivia is a lighthearted game that tests your team’s knowledge about the company, workplace, or even quirky facts about colleagues. The organizer prepares a list of trivia questions related to your organization – for example, questions about company history, policies, or fun personal tidbits (e.g., “Which team member lived in Japan for a year?” or “What is the name of our office Wi-Fi network?”).

During the game, the group is split into teams or competes individually to answer the questions. This activity boosts morale and team spirit by encouraging friendly competition. It also reinforces knowledge about your organization and helps employees feel more connected to the workplace. Office Trivia is especially helpful if you have new hires, as it helps them learn about the company culture and their coworkers in an entertaining way.

Plus, it’s easy to set up in a meeting: you can even use a projector or quiz platform (like Kahoot) to make it interactive. In the dynamic realm of workplace engagement, trivia games stand out as vibrant tools that blend knowledge and camaraderie – a perfect combo for team building.

Time: 20–30 minutes
Best for: Engagement, company knowledge, fun competition
Number of players: 4–20 (individual or teams)
How to play: Host trivia questions about the company, industry, or fun topics via Zoom or quiz platforms (like Kahoot).

9. Memory Wall

A Memory Wall exercise focuses on reflection and positive team experiences. Provide the team with a blank poster board or designate a section of a wall, along with sticky notes or index cards and markers. Ask everyone to write down a favorite work-related memory or proud team moment they’ve experienced (one per note). These could be anything from successful project milestones to funny moments in the office. Team members then post their memories on the wall and, one by one, share the story behind their memory with the group.

As the notes collect, they form a “wall” of shared positive experiences – essentially a collage of good vibes. The Memory Wall is a great way for teams to bond over past successes and appreciate each other’s contributions, reaffirming a sense of camaraderie. It’s designed for small groups (around 3–20 people) and only takes about 20–30 minutes to do, yet it leaves a lasting visual reminder of teamwork and collective achievements.

Time: 20–30 minutes
Best for: Reflection, appreciation, bonding
Number of players: 4–20
How to play: Each member writes a favorite memory on sticky notes, posts them on a wall, and shares stories with the group.

10. Perfect Square (Blindfolded Rope Shape)

The Perfect Square game is a blindfolded team challenge that tests communication and trust. The setup is simple: take a long rope tied into a loop and have the team hold onto it in a circle. Now, blindfold everyone. The task is for the group to form the rope into a perfect square (with 90° corners) while remaining blindfolded, using only verbal coordination.

No one is allowed to let go of the rope; they must move together, negotiate corners, and determine when they think the shape is complete. This exercise is specifically designed to foster communication, cooperation, and problem-solving skills within the group. It’s fascinating (and often humorous) to see how the team figures out leadership and direction without sight.

Once participants remove the blindfolds, they can see how close their square is and discuss what worked or what didn’t. Perfect Square is an effective metaphor for workplace projects – showing that clear communication and trust are key to “shaping” a successful outcome.

Time: 15–20 minutes
Best for: Communication, trust, leadership
Number of players: 6–12
How to play: The team holds a rope loop while blindfolded. Using only verbal instructions, they form it into a perfect square.

11. Birthday Lineup

The Birthday Lineup is a quick icebreaker that challenges your team’s non-verbal communication. The task: without talking, team members must line up in order of their birthdays (month and day only, not year) from January 1 through December 31. Essentially, the group needs to arrange itself chronologically by birth date using whatever gestures or creative communication they can – just no speaking. For example, people might hold up fingers for months or try to represent dates in pantomime. It’s fascinating to watch people figure out how to communicate without words to accomplish this.

This activity encourages careful observation, teamwork, and often lots of laughter as misunderstandings occur (“Wait, are you pointing to month 7 or 7th day?”). After successfully lining up, participants can introduce themselves along with their actual birth dates to confirm the order. Birthday Lineup is simple, fun, and works well for groups of 5–15. It highlights the importance of attentive listening and creative expression when typical communication channels are limited.

Time: 10–15 minutes
Best for: Non-verbal communication, problem-solving
Number of players: 5–15
How to play: Without speaking, the team lines up in order of birthdays (month/day).

12. Charades

Charades is an old favorite party game that also doubles as an excellent team-building activity for communication skills. In a game of Charades, one person must act out a word or phrase without speaking, and their team (or the rest of the group) tries to guess what it is. Acting out clues requires creativity and strengthens non-verbal communication skills, as the actor has to rely on body language, facial expressions, and improvisation. Meanwhile, the rest of the team practices active observation and team instincts as they shout out guesses and build on each other’s ideas.

For workplace team building, you can use work-related terms or just fun categories like movies, books, or actions. Charades works with any size group (split a larger group into teams to make it competitive), and it always brings lots of energy and laughter into the room. It’s a great choice to loosen everyone up and encourage team members to feel comfortable being a little silly around each other, which can improve camaraderie in the long run.

Time: 15–30 minutes
Best for: Creativity, communication, energy boost
Number of players: 6–20 (split into teams)
How to play: Players act out words/phrases without speaking while their team guesses.

13. Group Puzzle

Solving a group puzzle is a straightforward but powerful way to encourage teamwork. The idea is to give the team a jigsaw puzzle (for example, a 200-piece puzzle works well for a small group) and have them assemble it together within a set time limit.

This activity requires everyone to coordinate their efforts – sorting pieces, sharing findings, and fitting sections together – which naturally promotes collaboration, patience, and strategic thinking. You’ll see team members communicate actively (“I think I saw the piece with the red corner, who has it?”) and organically divide roles (one might focus on edges while another works on specific image sections).

A nice variation is the Barter Puzzle (covered below), where multiple small teams each have puzzles and must trade pieces. But even a single group puzzle with one team is effective for smaller groups.

It transforms an abstract concept of teamwork into a concrete task – everyone literally contributes a piece to the bigger picture. When the puzzle is completed, the team gets the satisfying visual proof of what they accomplished together.

14. Show and Tell

“Show and Tell” isn’t just for the classroom – it’s a fantastic team-building activity for adults that can deepen personal connections. In a work context, you can organize a Show and Tell session where each team member brings an item (or an object of significance) from home or shares it remotely, and shares a brief story about why that item is meaningful to them.

For instance, someone might show a souvenir from a trip, a trophy, a family photo, or even a hobby item. One by one, each person gets a few minutes to present their item and tell the story behind it. This simple activity is extremely effective: it helps colleagues open up and share their personal interests, leading to the discovery of common hobbies or values, and it builds stronger relationships and trust within the team.

Show and Tell gives a peek into teammates’ lives outside of work, humanizing each person beyond their job title. It encourages active listening (as coworkers ask questions or relate to the stories) and can be especially great for new or distributed teams that don’t interact often on a personal level.

Time: 10–20 minutes (depending on group size)
Best for: Bonding, personal connection, storytelling
Number of players: Any small group
How to play: Each person brings a meaningful item and shares its story with the group.

15. Barter Puzzle

The Barter Puzzle game introduces a fun twist to puzzle-solving by adding negotiation between teams. Here’s how it works: you prepare two or three small jigsaw puzzles of equal difficulty and mix up some of the pieces among the puzzles. Divide your group into the same number of teams and give each team one puzzle.

Naturally, each team will eventually realize some pieces are missing and extra pieces are present – they’ll have to barter with other teams to get the pieces they need to finish. The teams can establish whatever rules of trade they want (one-for-one swaps, collaborations, etc.), but the goal is for all teams to complete their puzzle in the end.

The Barter Puzzle is great for highlighting communication and strategic negotiation skills in a playful way. Team members must not only work together on their own puzzle but also communicate across teams, persuading or strategizing on trades. It’s not just about talking – it’s about listening to others’ needs and finding win-win solutions.

This activity tends to spark a lot of interaction and builds big-picture thinking (teams can only succeed if every team succeeds). It’s a fantastic simulation of collaboration and negotiation in a business context, disguised as a fun game.

Time: 30–45 minutes
Best for: Negotiation, collaboration, communication
Number of players: 8–20 (split into teams with separate puzzles)
How to play: Each team works on a puzzle but has missing pieces. Teams must trade pieces to complete their puzzles.

16. Bingo (Icebreaker Bingo)

Team Building Bingo, also known as Icebreaker Bingo or Human Bingo, is an excellent get-to-know-you game for small groups. Each participant gets a bingo-style grid filled with prompts or descriptors instead of numbers (for example: “has visited another continent,” “is a morning person,” “can speak 3+ languages,” “has a pet cat,” etc.). Everyone then mingles and talks to each other to find colleagues who match the prompts – for instance, someone who has run a marathon or loves true crime podcasts, and so on. When you find a person fitting a description, you mark that square (some versions have the person sign the square).

The goal is to get a Bingo line or fill the whole card, depending on how you play. This activity encourages players to talk and learn fun facts about their colleagues in a relaxed way. As the group circulates, conversations start and people discover common interests. The game’s purpose is to loosen up the group and make team members more comfortable with each other. It’s an easy, informal icebreaker that works with any group size (just customize the bingo card for your team). By the end, even new team members will have learned a few personal things about everyone in the room, creating connections that carry into work.

Time: 15–20 minutes
Best for: Icebreaking, networking, casual fun
Number of players: 4–30
How to play: Each participant gets a bingo card with prompts (e.g., “has a dog”). They find colleagues who match and mark squares.

17. Idea Spectrum Challenge

The Idea Spectrum exercise is a creative thinking challenge that pushes teams to consider a wide range of solutions. To run an Idea Spectrum, present the team with a specific problem or topic. Give everyone sticky notes or index cards and have them silently write down ideas or approaches, aiming for variety – from very conventional ideas to wildly creative ones.

Then, the team collaborates to rank or arrange these ideas on a spectrum from “most traditional” to “most innovative.” This activity encourages participants to truly think outside the box and discuss why they see an idea as more conventional or more creative.

By examining the full spectrum of ideas, the team explores safe options versus bold ones, and often they can combine elements of both. The Idea Spectrum Challenge is great for fostering creative and strategic thinking in problem-solving discussions. It shows that in team brainstorming, no idea is too crazy to consider – in fact, the most offbeat idea might spark an effective solution. This exercise also gives quieter team members a voice (since everyone writes ideas down initially) and then invites discussion on how different thinking styles contribute to the team’s strategy.

Time: 20–30 minutes
Best for: Creativity, brainstorming, perspective sharing
Number of players: 4–12
How to play: Team writes down ideas for solving a challenge, then ranks them from “traditional” to “innovative.”

18. Lucky Penny

The Lucky Penny game is a simple icebreaker that helps team members share personal stories in a fun, nostalgic way. To play, you’ll need a collection of coins (pennies or any coin) that have various years marked on them, ideally spanning a few decades. Pass around a bowl of these coins and have each person draw one coin at random.

Look at the year on your coin – if you were alive in that year, you share a memorable story or personal anecdote from that year with the group. If the coin’s year is before someone was born or too early to recall, they can either share a family story from that time or just pick the earliest year they can remember and talk about that.

For example, if someone picks a penny from 1995, they might share, “In 1995, I moved to a new city for college…” This icebreaker is ideal for new teams because it encourages each person to tell an interesting tidbit about their past, and it ensures everyone gets a chance to speak.

The Lucky Penny game encourages storytelling and personal connection, which helps teammates see each other beyond work roles. Often, people discover shared experiences (“You lived in California in 2010? Me too!”) that create immediate rapport. Plus, handling real coins and hearing varied stories makes this activity feel fresh and engaging every time.

19. Marshmallow Challenge

The Marshmallow Challenge is a famous design-and-build exercise that’s both fun and rich with lessons on teamwork. Small groups are given a set of materials – typically 20 sticks of uncooked spaghetti, a yard of masking tape, a yard of string, and one marshmallow – and are tasked with building the tallest free-standing structure that can support the marshmallow on top.

Teams have a strict time limit (often 18 minutes) to prototype and construct their tower. The catch is that the marshmallow, though light, often surprises teams with its weight and can collapse a flimsy structure at the last second.

This challenge was popularized by Tom Wujec and has been done by everyone from kindergartners to CEOs. It’s a powerful lesson in collaboration, innovation, and the value of prototyping – teams that fare well tend to test their structures early and often, rather than planning endlessly. The Marshmallow Challenge improves team communication and problem-solving under pressure.

It’s also a memorable shared experience that often gets referenced in later projects (“Remember what happened when we didn’t test the marshmallow!”). For professionals, it’s a reminder that sometimes trial-and-error and embracing failure lead to better results, and that leveraging each person’s strengths (engineering skill, creativity, time management) is key. Plus, it’s incredibly entertaining to watch all the different approaches teams take in pursuit of the tallest tower.

20. Murder Mystery Game

Hosting a Murder Mystery is a more elaborate team-building event that can greatly enhance problem-solving and teamwork in a fun, theatrical way. In a team-building murder mystery, participants are each assigned characters in an invented scenario (e.g., a murder at a hotel, a haunted mansion, a spy thriller, etc.).

They must role-play and interact to uncover clues and solve a “whodunnit” mystery together as a group. Often, there are scripted hints and a series of revelations that occur during the game, with some team members secretly playing roles (like the murderer or an accomplice).

These games involve dramatic scenes where participants must analyze information and collaborate to figure out the culprit. The purpose is not only to have fun, but to enhance problem-solving skills and positive interaction among colleagues.

Team members practice deductive reasoning, communicate theories, and often need to combine clues each person holds to see the full picture – all of which mirror skills needed in real workplace problem-solving.

A murder mystery can be done as a special team event (there are kits and companies that facilitate them), and it works best with groups who are willing to be a bit imaginative and engage in role-play. For leaders looking to really boost team camaraderie, a murder mystery provides a memorable experience that gets people thinking together in a creative way.

21. One-Word Exercise

The One-Word Icebreaker is a quick and insightful warm-up activity perfect for kicking off a meeting or team session. Gather your small group (this works well with 4-10 people; larger groups can be split into smaller teams) and pose a specific question or context for the “one word.”

For example: “What one word describes your current mood about this project?” or “Choose one word that represents what you hope to achieve this quarter.” Give everyone a minute to think, then go around and have each person share their chosen one-word answer (such as “excited,” “cautious,” “optimistic,” etc.).

Optionally, you can invite brief explanations, but the key is to keep it succinct. This exercise is perfect for setting the tone and allowing every team member to voice their feelings or expectations in a non-intimidating way. It encourages reflection and can reveal the general atmosphere in the team (for instance, if several people say “overwhelmed,” that’s a cue for discussion).

For new teams or at the start of a workshop, the One-Word exercise helps people express themselves early, which can increase participation later. It’s a simple technique, but it builds psychological safety by showing that every voice, even a single word, is heard.

Conclusion

Team building goes beyond fun activities. It strengthens workplace relationships and improves overall performance. The activities above, from quick icebreakers to in-depth collaborative challenges, are all designed to boost morale and create a more cohesive, productive work environment.

Using a mix of activity types helps engage different personalities. For example, a short icebreaker like One-Word or Two Truths and a Lie can kick off a meeting with positivity. More involved tasks, such as an Escape Room or Marshmallow Challenge, can strengthen the group’s collaboration skills under pressure. Reflective exercises like the Memory Wall or the HIGH5 Strengths Assessment also help team members recognize each other’s contributions and individual strengths.

Remember, the goal of any team-building exercise is to make team members feel more connected, valued, and aligned with each other. When team members take time to learn about each other, they communicate better and trust more – and that translates into better teamwork on the job.

These activities can be scaled to fit any team size or schedule. Whether you have just an hour or a full day, there’s something here you can adapt. Try a few, and see how your group becomes more focused, supportive, and prepared to tackle challenges together!
