1. Collaborative Mural Painting: The group is broken into smaller teams, each works together on a  smaller piece of the bigger picture. Once time is up, all the different team's piece are assembled together to create a large mural, with each member contributing their unique ideas and artistic touches - without seeing what the other teams are doing .

2. Customizable Craft Kits: Participants receive kits with various materials to create personalized items, allowing for individual expression while working towards a common goal  or presented theme- these could be earrings or bracelets, key chains or gift bags.

3. Recycled Art Projects: Using recycled materials, teams create large 3D art pieces that can stand alone, or when put together tell a story, fostering teamwork, creative communication and promoting sustainability.
