Team Building Activities
Giving Back Back-to-School is a charitable team building activity that strengthens team cohesion by combining play, collaboration and generosity. Your teams, turned into “classes,” live a school day on fast-forward: a quiz booklet, a science project, a coloring page and recess.
Every success earns pencils, the currency of the activity. Classes spend them at the general store, where they find backpacks, notebooks, pencil cases and first-aid supplies. Stock is limited, so every choice is discussed as a team.
With their winnings, classes fill backpacks, assemble artist pencil cases and put together first-aid kits for a school nurse's office. They also slip in a handwritten note for the child who will receive the bag.
The teams' drawings are then printed and bound into a coloring book, handed over with the bags. All the supplies are donated to an organization in your region, whatever the final score.

Giving Back Back-to-School is available in Montreal, Quebec City and surrounding areas, Ottawa-Gatineau, and throughout Quebec.
What mark will your team leave at the next back-to-school?
Because every challenge calls for different strengths and everyone counts. The result is visible and tangible: backpacks ready to be handed to children. The need is real: Regroupement Partage's Opération Sac à Dos planned to distribute 10,000 backpacks for the 2024 back-to-school season, up from 7,600 in 2023 and 6,400 in 2022 (source: Econostrum).
Your organization chooses the charity that receives the donation. Latulippe guides you in defining the donation, selecting the supplies and organizing the handover, so the bags meet a real need. This activity is part of the Giving Back series, along with Giving Back Minigolf.
A turnkey team building activity in Montreal and throughout Quebec:
Latulippe, which has been supporting organizations for over 25 years, handles the preparation, supplies, corporate facilitation, setup and teardown, with a preparatory meeting to tailor the activity to your group.
Imagine a group of 60 people gathered in a room after the summer holidays. Participants arrive at a “school” set up for the occasion and are split into 10 classes of 6, mixing departments.
Each class leaves with a team report card, and the supplies are delivered to the organization after the activity. The collective challenge only unlocks a bonus: the base stock is donated in full, in every case.
The backpacks, artist pencil cases and first-aid kits the classes filled, along with a handwritten note and the coloring book made from the teams' drawings. The exact contents are chosen with the organization.
No. Each team draws a simple black-line page meant to be colored in by a child. The fun of creating together matters more than talent.
Nothing is lost. The collective challenge only unlocks a bonus lot. The base stock is donated in full, whatever the final score.
