March 2026 Team Building Activities & Ideas
It’s Spring! March is the first month of Spring and it brings new beginnings. This is the perfect month for you to get to know your team and learn more about them. Here you’ll find different team-building activities:

March 1 - Barista Day

Let’s give honor to our baristas on this day and enjoy one of their freshly prepared coffee drinks. Feel free to visit your favorite coffee shop with the team or let your barista choose the drinks for everyone. Of course, you can also take a coffee class with the team to learn and master the art of making coffee!

  • Best for: Morning events, coffee-loving teams, informal bonding.
  • Why this works in March: As teams settle into Q1 routines, a coffee-focused experience creates comfort and connection without high energy demands.
  • Learning element: Participants gain hands-on knowledge they can use daily.
  • Facilitator tip: Works especially well as a kickoff to a team meeting or planning session.

March 4 - Employee Appreciation Day

Let’s focus our attention on our employees on this day and recognize how important they are! Show your gratitude and appreciation for all the work they do by sending them a gift box full of goodies to let them know. You can also hold a special event for the team on this day, have a pizza party or have a virtual game.
