Making gifts together is a tried-and-true team building activity. Making a "field trip" together to deliver them extends the benefits. It makes for meaningful interactions with neighbors, friends, or members of a wider group.
We offer here two examples of traditions from different cultures - one for May Day, and one for the Jewish spring holiday of Purim. Of course, the basic idea can be adapted for any occasion or type of team.
===Objectives===
Fun, spreading cheer, getting to know each other and people outside of the group.

===Materials===
Gifts!
* May Day: Roll a piece of construction paper into a cone; add a paper handle, and staple or paste it to stay. Fill it with a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. Repeat! * Purim: Make hamentashen the traditional triangle-shaped pastry filled with a prune-and-nut mixture or other sweets). Put them in festive bags, along with other goodies, if desired, to enjoy with the hamenatshen - such as dried fruit and nuts, and tea bags.

===Alternatives===
Many possibilities. Teampedia would like to hear yours!
