Activity designed by Pedro Diezma, coach and head of team dynamics and training at Acuilae.

A charity team building activity in which the team’s work becomes something you can touch: wooden kitchens and doll’s houses that, at the end of the day, we donate to organisations working with vulnerable children and families.

It is the activity with the most purpose among our team building activities in Madrid, and it can be held in any city.

Participants split into teams. Each team gets the pieces, the instructions and a mission: build their complete toy, sharing out the tasks and coordinating so that everything fits. There is no rush to win; everyone wants to finish it properly, because a child is going to play with what you are building.

The donation goes to Fundación Aladina or the Red Cross, depending on the receiving organisation’s needs at the time. If your company already works with another organisation, we adapt.

Details:

  • At your offices, a hotel or your event venue. Anywhere in Spain.
  •  
  • In teams, each with its own toy.
  •  
  • The assembled toys are donated to organisations that support children.
  •  

What you build together
ends up in a child’s hands


How the charity team building day works

  • • 1. Teams and mission: we form the teams and present the cause: who will receive what you are about to build.
  • • 2. Building: each team assembles its wooden kitchen or doll’s house. You have to share out pieces, read instructions, coordinate and check that everything is solid.
  • • 3. Skill challenges (optional): between building stages, teams earn points in quick aiming and balance challenges.
  • • 4. Handover: the finished toys are presented on stage and set off for the receiving organisation.

What the teams build

Wooden kitchen. Each team works together to assemble a toy kitchen: hob, oven, sink, doors. There are tasks for everyone, and the whole thing only comes together if the team coordinates. The kitchens go to organisations that support children, so that more boys and girls can make up their own stories as they play.

Doll’s house. A shared project: sorting the pieces, putting up the floors and setting up the different play areas. The finished house goes to an organisation that works with children.

In some editions of this charity team building we have also built balance bikes and construction robots. If you have a specific toy in mind, we will look into it.

Skill challenges in the charity team building

If you want to add competition, we slot in quick challenges that earn points for each team:

  • • Axe and ninja star throwing: padded, aimed at the assigned targets. Every hit earns points for the team.
  • • Jenga: taking turns, piece by piece. If the tower falls, the team loses the round.
  • • Archery: each team member shoots at the assigned targets and adds up points.
  • • Target shooting: with foam dart guns, taking turns, going for the highest score.

Precision counts, but what makes the difference is coordination and encouragement between colleagues.

What this charity team building brings:

  • A real purpose: the result of the teamwork is donated, not thrown away.
  • Coordination and sharing out tasks: building a complete toy forces people to get organised.
  • Everyone takes part: there are pieces to fit, instructions to read and checks to make.
  • A story to tell: inside the company and, if you like, in your CSR report.

What’s included:

  • Toys and materials for each team, with instructions.
  • Hosting of the day and, if you choose them, the skill challenges.
  • Handling of the donation with the receiving organisation.

Frequently asked questions about charity team building

Who are the toys donated to?
To Fundación Aladina or the Red Cross, depending on the receiving organisation’s needs at the time. If your company works with another organisation, we adapt.

No. The toys come with all their pieces and instructions, and the Acuilae team supports every table.

Where can it be held?
At your offices, a hotel or your event venue, anywhere in Spain. All you need is tables for the teams.

How is it different from the CSR activities with robots?
In what gets built. Here it is wooden toys and doll’s houses. If you would rather build robots that are also donated, have a look at our CSR activities for companies.

How much does it cost?
The price depends on the number of teams, the toys chosen and whether you add the skill challenges. We send you a quote within 24 working hours.

Conclusion


A charity team building activity is one of the few where the team leaves feeling they have done something useful, as well as having had a good time. If you would also like an environmental angle, take a look at our sustainable team building.
