Valentine’s Day Team Building Activities & Ideas

Let’s dive right into our favorite Valentine’s office games and activities that we’ve seen teams love year after year.

1. Satisfy the Sweet Tooth

What’s a Valentine’s Day team building activity without some chocolate? It’s a delicious treat that’s sure to sweeten up the office atmosphere while bringing people together. It can be as simple as some chocolates left on each person’s desk (or mailed to them) alongside a thank-you card. If you go for this option, consider using some work Valentine’s Day quotes to remind your team members how much you value them.

Alternatively, you might opt for a team building activity based around chocolate. For example, treat your team to a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to be a chocolatier with our Curated Virtual Chocolate Tasting Experience. Or, if you want a more hands-on element, our chocolate truffle-making class is the perfect activity to encourage bonding and skill development.

The Chocolate Challenge is another great choice—it offers a delicious blend of friendly competition, lively challenges, and edible engineering. Because we believe that Valentine’s Day work contest ideas should be sweet!

Your group will divide into small teams that compete against each other. Each group will work together to design and construct bridges made of pure, delicious chocolate that they get to eat afterward.

2. Indulge Your Team’s Taste Buds

As the saying goes, nine out of ten people like chocolate, and the tenth is lying. But if chocolate really isn’t for your team, we have a plethora of tasty activities (wine tasting, anyone?).

After all, Valentine’s Day is meant as an opportunity to enjoy all types of nuanced flavors and experiences. So, take your team on a culinary adventure with our Food Truck Challenge. It’s packed with competition, skill-building, and delicious food tasting—this combination makes a fantastic Valentine’s Day game for work and play.

A master chef will guide everyone through preparing and cooking food, but it’s up to teams to create a unique truck design and business plan. Bring your team together through friendly competition with results so delicious that it (almost) won’t matter who wins.

3. Get Creative

Valentine’s Day can be an opportunity for teams to get crafty by sharing artistic abilities, too. With Sketch it Forward, you can create personalized greeting cards to bring a smile to the faces of First responders, Healthcare heroes, Seniors, Veterans, Animal welfare advocates, and more.

These cards are handmade works of art created with the guidance of augmented reality. Encourage your team to make a difference by tapping into their inner artist, regardless of their skill level.

Alternatively, you could have your team work together to create a giant masterpiece. The Big Picture is an excellent exercise for helping teams stay mindful of “seeing the bigger picture” in their professional lives. As in most areas of life, it’s all about communication, collaboration, and pulling together in the same direction.

4. PPT of Me

We’ve got the perfect idea for your February team building activities—a PowerPoint presentation (that’s PPT for the uninitiated)! It’s a fun alternative to Valentine’s games at work and a great way to energize your meetings.

Each meeting starts with a 4-slide presentation from a different team member. Ask your team to use these to give them an opportunity to share a bit about who they are, what they do, and where they come from outside of work.

So spread the love and celebrate Valentine’s Day with your team by getting to know each other better.

5. Relax, Rejuvenate, and Refresh

With all that goes on around us, it’s essential to rejuvenate and take care of your mental wellness—in other words, self-love! What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day at work? Ideas based on helping you and your team feel relaxed, rejuvenated, and refreshed can help to relieve stress, improve memory, and foster new ideas.

For example, a quick meditation session before a meeting could be just what everyone needs to get the ideas and energy flowing.

Our Meditainment Group Meditation will help you and your team calm your minds, alleviate anxiety, and reduce stress. It’s as easy to do as following a relaxing story with your eyes closed. Valentine’s Day is a time to spread love and appreciation, even in the workplace. As a team leader, take a moment to let your mind wander to amazing places and encourage your team to join in this soothing celebration of self-love. Happy Valentine’s Day, team!

1. Share a Laugh
Laughter is a powerful tool that can relax the body, relieve tension, and bond teams together. Start off a meeting with a fun poll or game to boost morale and get everyone laughing. Consider incorporating laughter yoga into your team building activities to promote stress relief and light cardio workouts.

2. Game Shows and Trivia
Themed game shows and trivia are interactive ways to celebrate any holiday with your team. Choose games like Bingo, Almost Anything Goes Team Trivia, Survey Says, or Spin to Win to engage in friendly competition and take a break from daily routines. These activities promote teamwork and camaraderie while adding a fun element to the holiday celebration.

3. Giving Back Together
Spread the love by giving back to those in need on Valentine’s Day. Choose a charitable cause that resonates with your team and show them that you care about more than just profits. Consider participating in Hopefull Handbags, Helping Hands, or Do Good Bus activities to make a positive impact on your community and strengthen team bonds.

4. Hi-Tech Scavenger Hunt
Embark on a Valentine’s Day-themed Scavenger Hunt with a tech-driven twist. Armed with tablets, your team can explore the local city and surroundings in search of Valentine’s Day treasures. This activity promotes teamwork, problem-solving, and a sense of adventure while encouraging collaboration and quick thinking.

5. Appreciation Lunch
Host a Team Appreciation Lunch to celebrate collaboration and shared achievements. Gather your colleagues for a potluck feast with Team Cuisine contributions and create a communal space for lively conversations and genuine appreciation. This activity fosters gratitude, connection, and teamwork while giving everyone a well-deserved break from work.
