Most virtual team gratitude activities look the same. A Slack channel. A digital thank-you card. A bingo card with qualities your colleagues might demonstrate. They mean well. But they rarely create a moment anyone remembers by Friday.
Fun Group Tarot is different. It is a facilitated online group activity built around the one thing every gratitude practice needs but rarely delivers, genuine reflection. Not a checkbox. A real moment.
A Gratitude Team Building Activity Your Team Will Actually Remember
Hi, I'm Claudine. Good gratitude team building isn't about forcing people to say nice things on cue. It's about giving them a reason to pause, notice each other, and say what usually goes unsaid. That's exactly what the cards do. They hand everyone a better question.
Why Tarot Works as a Gratitude Practice
Every tarot session begins with a question and ends with insight. For teams, that insight becomes shared. People hear things about themselves and their colleagues that don't come up in performance reviews or team meetings. Each participant receives their own reading and they leave feeling seen, valued, and connected.
That is what gratitude actually feels like. And it is why HR managers and team leads at Google, Meta, Salesforce, Amazon, Netflix, and LinkedIn have brought Fun Group Tarot into their teams not once, but repeatedly.
This is one of the most effective fun group activities online for teams that want something with real depth, not just entertainment.
How It Works
It's 60 minutes, fully virtual on Zoom or your video call platform of choice. It works for remote and hybrid teams across time zones, and nobody needs to prepare a thing. Cameras are encouraged, but the vibe is relaxed.
- Step 1: Welcome. I open with a short, warm welcome and set the tone. Light, funny, zero pressure.
- Step 2: Individual mini-readings. Each person who wants one gets a brief personal reading. Readings are always optional, and watching your colleagues' readings is half the fun.
- Step 3: Team reading. A shared reading for the whole group that surfaces the team's strengths and sparks real conversation.
- Step 4: Gratitude close. We end with a gratitude reflection that ties the readings together. People leave feeling seen, valued, and connected.
It's a virtual gratitude activity for teams that feels like a conversation, not a workshop. See how it compares with our other formats on the Services page.
Perfect For
End of year celebrations and holiday parties where you want to close out with meaning. Employee appreciation days where generic recognition falls flat. Offsite kickoffs where you want to set an intentional tone. Remote and hybrid teams across time zones who need a shared experience that brings them together.
This works as a standalone virtual team gratitude activity or as part of a larger event. It runs fully online, requires no preparation from participants, and fits into a 60-minute window.
A Thanksgiving Gratitude Activity for Your Team
November is the natural moment for a gratitude team building activity. The year is almost done, people are tired, and Thanksgiving gives everyone permission to stop and say thank you. A Thanksgiving session turns that feeling into an hour your team actually shares.
It slots right into a Thanksgiving holiday party, or it can stand on its own in place of a regular team meeting. Either way, you get the same 60 minutes, the same laughs, and the same gratitude close.
And it isn't only for Thanksgiving. The format works year-round for employee appreciation days and offsite kickoffs too.
What Teams Say
"Claudine was fantastic! We did the tarot reading for a work team bonding and the entire group loved the experience. Claudine was very kind and made us all feel comfortable. Our team was talking afterward about how we all felt so inspired and motivated after our readings! Definitely a fun way to connect with co-workers!"
"My team signed up for Fun Group Tarot reading activity for our virtual holiday social and loved it! At first I think some people weren't sure what to think, but by the end everyone had gotten into it, as Claudine does a great job reading the cards. We all agreed the activity was really fun and inspiring for us individually and as a team as we look forward to 2024. Thank you Claudine!"

Questions Team Leaders Ask
Is a tarot gratitude activity appropriate for a work team?
Yes. This is a facilitated team experience that uses tarot as a reflection tool. It's strengths-based, professional, and corporate-safe. There is nothing spooky or fortune-telling about it. Think of it as a guided conversation with better questions. It has been booked repeatedly by teams at companies like Google, Meta, and Netflix.
What if some team members are skeptical or don't share the same beliefs?
Readings are always optional, and skeptics are welcome. Most teams have a few, and they usually end up the most surprised by how much they enjoy it. Nobody is put on the spot, and the focus is gratitude and appreciation, never personal predictions.
How many people can join?
Sessions are priced for groups of up to 10 or up to 20, and larger teams can be accommodated on request. Everyone who wants a mini-reading gets one.
How much does it cost?
$350 for up to 10 people, $600 for up to 20. Booking and payment happen online in a couple of minutes.
