All the different combinations take the group bysurprise and get everyone in the right mood. Save this cheerful moment with asnapshot of the merry little elves.
Ho, ho, ho... Santa can’t wait to count you in with his team of helpers!

As a team, break the ice in 10 minutes sharp

Welcome the team to the Board in Santa’s elves’ workshop

Whether attending in person or remotely, or a combination of both, your team can meet up at the same place: Board Hybrid. This whiteboard is an interactive workspace featuring a wide array of options promoting visual communication! A highly valued asset for those attending remotely and who are easily included in the interaction, with Live, the built-in videoconferencing tool.
To start the activity, everyone picks an elf from the illustration and drops their photo onto the elf in question.

Find out your elf character and present it to the team

By following a very simple instruction, everyone creates their elf name in two words:

  • In the blue column, the initial of your first name shows the first word.
  • In the yellow column, your month of birth shows the second word.

For example, Martin, born in March, will find out that his elf name is: PlayfulCandy Cane!
On the same principle, your day of birth in the green column reveals your role in the elves’ workshop. For Martin, born on March 9, he is a toy customer service manager.
To share this information with the rest of the group, everyone fills in the customization fields, also known as "dimensions", in the picture sent at the beginning of the activity.
Everyone takes turns to introduce their elf character to the group: the most popular characters can be put forward with a “like”.
