6 Earth Day Ideas For Work
Every year on April 22nd, people around the world come together to celebrate Earth Day, an international event dedicated to protecting the environment and promoting sustainable practices. First established in 1970, Earth Day is a powerful reminder of the impact we have on the planet and the steps we can take to create a greener future.
For businesses, celebrating Earth Day at work isn’t just about going green for a day – it’s an opportunity to engage employees, embrace corporate social responsibility (CSR) and implement lasting sustainability initiatives. Earth Day activities not only help the planet but also strengthen brand reputation and boost employee motivation.
Looking for ways to get involved? We’ve put together 6 impactful Earth Day ideas for work to help your team make a difference:
1. Building Birdhouses to Support Bird Conservation
One of the best Earth Day activities to get your team involved in sustainability is building birdhouses. Birds play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystems by controlling pests, pollinating plants and spreading seeds. However, habitat loss due to urbanisation and deforestation has made it harder for many bird species to find safe nesting spaces. By building birdhouses, your team can actively support local bird populations and contribute to conservation efforts.
Our Build a Birdhouse Workshop is a hands-on World Earth Day activity that engages employees in a meaningful project while also encouraging teamwork and creativity. Your team will dive into a fun DIY project, crafting birdhouses and learning about sustainability. With an expert facilitator guiding the way, you don’t need any prior experience for this Earth Day activity – everything is super easy to get into. You’ll have a chance to learn DIY skills and add your own creative touch to decorate the birdhouses just the way you like.
Once completed, these birdhouses can be placed around office green spaces, local parks or even donated to conservation organisations.
Not only does this activity promote environmental responsibility, but it also helps employees reconnect with nature and appreciate the importance of wildlife conservation. Plus, it’s a fun and rewarding experience that leaves a lasting impact long after Earth Day is over.

2. Building Bee Hotels to Help Bee Populations
Hosting a Bee Hotel Workshop in the office is a fantastic way to celebrate Earth Day at work while making a real impact on the environment. While honeybees get most of the attention, solitary bees, such as mason bees, leafcutter bees and mining bees, make up the majority of the UK’s bee species and play a crucial role in pollination. Unlike honeybees, solitary bees do not live in hives or produce honey, and many species struggle to find suitable nesting sites due to habitat loss and urban development. Bee hotels are a great way to support these vital pollinators by providing safe spaces for them to lay their eggs.
In our Bee Hotel Workshop, teams will craft bee hotels using sustainable materials, provide much-needed shelter for solitary bees, helping to support local pollination and biodiversity. With expert guidance, no prior experience is needed – just a willingness to get creative and work together!
Once completed, the bee hotels can be placed in gardens or green spaces. Not only is this a fun and engaging way to bring employees together, but it also leaves a lasting environmental impact, giving solitary bees a safe place to thrive long after Earth Day is over.

3. Building a Living Wall to Bring Nature Indoors
Creating a living wall is a fantastic way to celebrate Earth Day while transforming your workspace into a greener, healthier environment. A living wall, also known as a vertical garden, is a structure covered in plants that can be installed indoors or outdoors. Not only do they look amazing, but they also help improve air quality, boost employee wellbeing and promote sustainability in the workplace.
Our Build a Living Wall Workshop gives your team the chance to work together to build a beautiful, plant-covered feature that enhances your office space. With expert guidance, employees will assemble and plant their own section of the wall, using a mix of air-purifying plants and low-maintenance greenery. The process is engaging, creative and accessible to everyone – no gardening experience required!
Having a living wall in the office isn’t just about aesthetics; it creates a more refreshing and inviting workspace while helping to reduce stress and increase productivity. Plus, it’s an eco-friendly addition that promotes biodiversity by providing a habitat for small insects.
Once complete, your team will have a lasting reminder of their Earth Day efforts – a stunning living wall that continues to benefit both people and the planet long after the event is over.

4. Building Terrariums to Learn How Ecosystems Work
Our Terrarium Workshop is a hands-on and creative Earth Day activity for companies where teams learn about the delicate balance of ecosystems. A terrarium is a self-sustaining miniature garden enclosed in glass, demonstrating how plants, soil, water and air interact to create a thriving environment. By assembling their own terrariums, employees can gain a deeper appreciation for nature and the importance of maintaining ecological balance.
This activity is both fun and educational, offering a unique opportunity to explore sustainability on a small scale. With expert guidance, participants will layer soil, rocks, moss and plants to build their own thriving ecosystem. They’ll learn how factors like moisture, light and plant selection contribute to the health of the environment – mirroring the way real-world ecosystems function.
Terrariums require minimal maintenance, making them a perfect addition to any desk or office space. They not only serve as a lasting reminder of Earth Day but also help bring a touch of greenery indoors, improving air quality and boosting wellbeing. By engaging in this Earth Day activity, teams can develop a stronger connection to nature and take away valuable insights into how small changes can contribute to a more sustainable planet.

5. Turning Old Items Into Living Art
Transforming discarded items into beautiful planters is a creative and meaningful way to celebrate Earth Day. This hands-on activity combines recycling, gardening and sustainability, encouraging teams to repurpose old materials into something new and full of life. Whether it’s an old shoe, an old frame or even unused office supplies, each item gets a second chance as a unique living art, reducing waste while adding greenery to the workspace.
As employees design and plant their creations, they’ll develop gardening skills while experiencing the therapeutic benefits of working with plants – known to boost mood and reduce stress. It’s a fantastic way to promote sustainability while engaging in a relaxing, team building experience. Plus, the finished pieces can be proudly displayed around the office, serving as a lasting reminder of your company’s commitment to the environment.
By celebrating Earth Day with a Living Art Workshop, teams actively contribute to waste reduction and urban greening, showing that sustainability can be both creative and rewarding.
You can also pair this activity with a Kokedama Workshop, where you’ll learn the art of this traditional Japanese planting technique, creating beautiful moss ball planters that bring a touch of nature indoors.

6. Taking Part in a Community Clean-Up in London
For an off-site Earth Day activity that gets you out in the fresh air, consider our Community Clean-Up in London. This team building experience encourages employees to roll up their sleeves and help preserve and enhance local green spaces, such as parks, playgrounds, council estates or community gardens in London. It’s a great opportunity to get away from the desk and make a real, hands-on impact on the environment.
Under the guidance of a gardening expert, your team will take part in a variety of tasks, including digging, planting, pruning and litter picking. Whether you’re giving a park a facelift or transforming an overgrown garden, your efforts will help create beautiful natural spaces for the local community to enjoy. This activity is perfect for all skill levels, from beginners to gardening enthusiasts, so everyone can get involved and contribute.
Not only does this community clean-up help improve the local environment, but it’s also a great way to foster teamwork, communication and a sense of accomplishment. By getting outside and working together on a common goal, your team will feel energised and connected to both nature and each other, making it a memorable and rewarding Earth Day experience.

Top Team Building Trends in 2025
As workplace dynamics and employee expectations continue to evolve, so does the world of team building. At GOTO Events, the UK’s leading team building provider, we delivered thousands of team building activities last year for companies of all shapes and sizes. We stay ahead of the trends to create experiences that not only deliver real results but are also incredibly fun and engaging for everyone involved.
Looking ahead to 2025, we anticipate more businesses embracing team building for a variety of reasons: giving employees a well-earned break, making a hands-on social impact, developing essential soft skills through fun and interactive activities and fostering a culture of diversity and inclusivity.
Drawing on our extensive experience and the expertise of the GOTO Events team, here are the top 10 team building trends we predict will shape 2025.
1. Wellness
As companies increasingly recognise the link between employee wellbeing and workplace performance, team building activities are moving beyond simple fun to focus on fostering physical, mental and emotional health.
Through wellness team building, you will not only support your employees’ personal wellbeing but also enhance team collaboration. Whether it’s through a Yoga Class, fitness-based challenges, or creative and mindful workshops like Living Art, Living Wall, Kokedama, and Terrarium-making, wellness-focused team building activities are designed to help teams recharge, reduce stress and build resilience.
This approach helps create healthier, happier and more productive teams, ultimately improving both individual wellbeing and overall team performance. Wellness-focused team building is more than just a trend – it’s a smart investment in your people that pays off in the long run.
2. Social impact and sustainability
In 2025, more companies are embracing team building activities that go beyond the office to create lasting social impact and promote sustainability, increasing their corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Charity team building events, such as building bikes for underprivileged children or constructing emergency shelter pods for those experiencing homelessness, are not only a great way to give back but also help strengthen relationships within teams. These activities allow employees to connect over a shared sense of purpose while making a positive difference in the world.
Sustainability team building is also gaining momentum in 2025, with companies engaging in eco-friendly initiatives like Build a Bee Hotel and Build a Birdhouse. These experiences allow teams to work towards a common environmental goal, raising awareness and fostering a sense of responsibility toward the planet.
By incorporating social impact and sustainability into team building, companies are investing in both their people and the community, creating stronger, more purpose-driven teams while supporting causes that matter.
3. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in team building means providing activities that are welcoming, accessible and meaningful for everyone. It’s about ensuring all team members feel valued and heard while accommodating participants with different abilities and needs.
For instance, our Ultimate Quiz, Generation Game and Masterpiece require no physical activity, making them entertaining options that include everyone, regardless of physical ability. To bridge generational gaps, activities like Under Pressure, Master of the Tasks and Soap Box Derby keep participants of all ages engaged, fostering teamwork across generations.
Team Masterchef, Around the World and Cocktail Making celebrate culturally diverse workplaces, turning team building into a vibrant showcase of backgrounds and fostering understanding within teams. For activities that tap into a variety of skills and talents, Challenge 100, Record Breakers and Lights, Camera, Action are perfect for bringing together employees with different interests and abilities.
4. Unconventional activities
2025 is the year every company should break away from traditional team building exercises and embrace unconventional activities that are fun, engaging and packed with experiential elements. These activities go beyond the usual trust falls and brainstorming sessions, offering teams an exciting way to connect and collaborate.
Gamification is at the heart of this trend, turning team challenges into immersive adventures. From mobile escape rooms to competitive activities like Master of the Tasks and Crystal Team Challenge, these events create a sense of excitement and competition.
Pop culture-inspired activities like Betrayers, where teams work to uncover the traitors, or Quid Games, with its nail-biting challenges under the watchful eyes of the red-costumed guards, take team engagement to the next level.
These unconventional activities create unforgettable memories, build valuable skills and allow companies to deliver team building events that are both impactful and enjoyable.
5. Interactive technology
Technology is making team building activities more immersive, innovative and interactive than ever before. With the help of tools like AI and VR, team building experiences are not only more fun but also more engaging and impactful.
Virtual reality team building takes collaboration to another level, blending the virtual and real world through activities such as VR Bomb Squad and VR Escape Room. AI-driven team building activities offer unique opportunities to engage with AI technology, pushing teams to think creatively and adapt quickly.
For outdoor adventures, GPS Treasure Hunt combines technology and exploration as teams navigate through clues and challenges using cutting-edge GPS technology. Meanwhile, Lights, Camera, Action encourages participants to use technology to shoot a movie trailer, blending creativity with tech-savvy skills.
These tech-powered activities highlight how embracing innovation can redefine team building for the modern workplace.
6. Alcohol-free
As individuals increasingly prioritise wellbeing, many are choosing to reduce alcohol consumption. Notably, Gen Z is leading this shift, with data indicating they drink on average 20% less than millennials, who also drink less than previous generations.
Embrace the alcohol-free culture by organising team building activities that spark genuine connection, active engagement and loads of laughter without the alcohol. In Master of the Tasks, stitches of laughter are guaranteed, and It’s a Knockout, with its inflatables, slides and epic costumes promises unforgettable fun.
Who needs alcohol when you can bond with colleagues over an epic shared experience, where hilarity and collaboration happen naturally? These team building activities create meaningful memories, plus, everyone will actually remember the fun the next day!
7. Soft skills
Organisations increasingly recognise the crucial role of soft skills like creativity, empathy and adaptability in workplace success. Unlike technical skills, which can often be automated or outsourced, soft skills are uniquely human and drive innovation, collaboration and effective communication within teams.
Team building activities that focus on developing soft skills help employees unleash their creativity, appreciate different perspectives and strengthen their connections with one another. For example, Masterpiece lets teams get creative with paint, while Living Art inspires collaboration as participants work together to bring a shared vision to life. Charity team building events add a meaningful twist by promoting social impact, fostering deeper understanding among colleagues and boosting empathy within the workplace.
By prioritising soft skills, you can future-proof your team, enhance overall performance and create a more cohesive, resilient and innovative workforce. It’s an investment in people that delivers lasting benefits.
8. Fun learning
Research shows that incorporating fun into learning significantly enhances engagement, motivation and retention. Enjoyable learning experiences reduce stress and create a positive environment, making it easier for individuals to absorb and apply new information.
At GOTO Events, we’re all about team building that combines fun with meaningful learning, creating the perfect setting to develop both soft skills and business expertise. Our activities can be tailored to match the specific learning outcomes you’re aiming for, all while keeping the experience enjoyable and fully engaging. Join in the excitement of Fortune Hunters, a thrilling race to uncover the hidden treasure, or get an innovation boost from Dragons Lair, where teams pitch creative business ideas. And for a fun way to sharpen boardroom skills, Apprentices delivers an unforgettable experience.
Incorporating fun into learning not only makes the process enjoyable but also enhances the effectiveness of the training, resulting in teams that are better equipped to collaborate, innovate and succeed.
9. Personalisation
Personalisation is the key to unlocking the full potential of team building. Picking an activity that doesn’t resonate with your team can lead to disengagement and missed opportunities for growth and collaboration. Choose activities tailored to your team’s unique needs, size and goals to ensure the experience is meaningful and impactful. The right activity can motivate your team, strengthen connections and align with your objectives, leaving everyone energised and inspired.
At GOTO Events, we understand that every team is different, which is why we specialise in customising team building experiences. Whether you’re aiming to foster creativity, develop leadership or simply create a fun bonding experience, we’ll work with you to design the perfect event. From group size to desired outcomes, every detail is considered to ensure your team building is not just an activity but a memorable and rewarding experience.
10. Outstanding venues
The venue is more than just a location – it’s a key part of the experience, and choosing an outstanding venue is becoming a growing trend in team building. An inspiring setting can elevate the event, create excitement and provide a memorable backdrop that reinforces the purpose of the team building activity. The venue should be suitable for the specific activity, comfortably accommodate your group size and offer an environment that fuels engagement and excitement.
The UK offers an incredible range of options for corporate events, from luxurious hotels and historic castles to scenic countryside retreats and city-centre conference spaces. At GOTO Events, we bring the team building to you with our fully mobile event kit and expert staff, ready to deliver anywhere in the UK. Plus, we offer a free venue-finding service, helping you source the perfect location for your event, ensuring it’s as impressive as the activity itself.

What Squid Game 2 Can Teach Us About Team Dynamics
What Squid Game 2 Can Teach Us About Team Dynamics
The second season of the hit TV series Squid Game premiered on Netflix on December 26, 2024, and we at GOTO Events couldn’t wait to dive in. Beyond its gripping survival drama, Squid Game fascinates us with its portrayal of team behaviour under extreme pressure.
Although the show depicts a dystopian world with fictional characters, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has emphasised its intent to reflect society from a realistic perspective. The series delves into human nature and societal issues, resonating with audiences worldwide. By drawing on psychological research, it portrays how individuals behave in intense scenarios, giving us much to analyse about team interactions.
So, what can we learn from the team dynamics in Squid Game season 2? Let’s explore the three main games from the new season.
Don’t worry, we won’t give away any major spoilers—but the article is definitely more fun if you’ve already watched the new season.
1. Red Light, Green Light
We were excited about the return of Red Light, Green Light in Squid Game season 2, as it remains one of the most iconic games from the first season. In this deadly twist on the classic children’s game, players must race to the finish line within a set time. They’re allowed to move when the towering robotic doll, Young-hee, calls out Green Light, but must freeze instantly when she switches to Red Light. Anyone caught moving during Red Light is eliminated.
But with Gi-hun’s (Player 456) return to the games, having survived this deadly challenge before, he takes on a guiding role, advising fellow contestants on strategies to increase their chances of survival. For instance, Gi-hun suggests that players position themselves behind larger individuals to obscure their movements from the motion-detecting sensors, thereby reducing the risk of detection during the Red Light.
The game offers a striking example of how in real-world teams, an experienced leader can impact a team’s dynamics. Team members with prior experience in a task often naturally step into a mentorship role. This kind of leadership brings clear benefits: experienced leaders can quickly assess risks, identify effective strategies and share insights that help less experienced team members navigate challenges. Research in organisational behaviour shows that experienced leaders can boost team confidence, reduce anxiety and foster a sense of collective purpose, especially during uncertain or high-stakes situations.
Additionally, Gi-hun’s approach reflects a key principle of team dynamics: collaborative problem-solving can emerge even in competitive settings. When a leader openly shares their knowledge, it encourages trust and mutual reliance among team members. By prioritising guidance and teamwork over self-interest, experienced leaders demonstrate that fostering collaboration can be a powerful tool, even when stakes are high.
Do you think you would have survived Red Light, Green Light without someone like Gi-hun leading the way?
2. Six-Legged Pentathlon
The Six-Legged Pentathlon is a new team-based game in Squid Game season 2. This is the moment Gi-hun realises that the games won’t be the same as his previous experience. In this game, five players have their legs tied together, forcing them to move as a single unit. Each team must navigate through five traditional Korean mini-games that test their coordination, strategy and timing. The games include Ddakji (flipping paper cards), Flying Stone (knocking over stones), Gonggi (tossing and catching knucklebones), Paengi Chigi (spinning top) and Jegi (similar to hacky sack). The added difficulty of being physically connected makes the challenge even more intense, as each team member’s movements directly affect the others. To succeed, the team must complete all five games within the time limit or face elimination.
The physical connection of the players’ legs highlights the importance of coordination, trust and communication in teamwork. As they struggle to synchronise, it mirrors the challenges real-life teams face when working on complex tasks.
In the show, when Player 001 struggles to launch the spinning top several times, the tension mounts. But the team encourages him, demonstrating the importance of support and morale in high-stress situations. This moment highlights how, in real-life teams, fostering a positive environment where members encourage one another can make a huge difference, especially when facing setbacks. Just like in the game, real teams often rely on collaboration and emotional support to keep motivation high and ensure collective success.
The game also illustrates the concept of shared responsibility. In both the show and real teams, the success or failure of one member can impact the entire group, underscoring the need for mutual support and a collective effort.
Did you notice how Gi-hun prioritised everyone else’s input when choosing the game they wanted to play? That’s a great example of a leader putting others first, which helps build trust and a strong team dynamic.
3. Mingle
Mingle is another brand-new game in Squid Game season 2 that was just as thrilling as it was tense to watch. Is the Korean children’s song “Ring-a-ring-a-ring” still lingering in your minds, too? In Mingle, players start on a rotating platform, which suddenly halts when the music stops to reveal a number. They then have 30 seconds to form a group of exactly that number and enter one of the surrounding rooms. If they fail to form the correct group size or get into a room within the time limit, they’re eliminated.
This game emphasises the critical importance of quick decision-making, effective communication and the ability to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. The intense pressure and the necessity for precise coordination among team members highlight the complexities of group dynamics under extreme stress.
The game starts with players trying to strategise, remembering similar games from their childhood. But the reality of the game is far more unpredictable than they anticipated. In the chaos that follows, many players struggle to adapt to the fast pace and pressure, showing how, in real-life team situations, even the best-prepared teams can be caught off guard by unforeseen challenges.
An interesting turn occurs when Player 001, recognising that his team has more members than needed, sacrifices himself and leaves his group to find another team. This act of selflessness demonstrates a deeper understanding of team dynamics and how sometimes individual sacrifice is necessary for the greater good of the team. In real-life teams, leaders or team members willing to make these sacrifices for the benefit of the group can often ensure that the team stays intact and moves forward.
Conclusion
Squid Game season 2 has been an exciting rollercoaster, diving deep into the chaos, challenges and victories that come with working as a team under pressure. It’s evident how important trust, clear communication and strong leadership really are.
As we look forward to season 3, we can’t help but imagine what new, intense challenges the players will face. But until then, why not find out how your team would handle a challenge like this – in a fun and safe way – with our corporate team building event?
