Hidden Superpowers

This fun, low-lift activity invites your team to share two things: a surprising talent of their own, and a strength they see in someone else. At your next staff meeting, you’ll reveal each “superpower” and let teams guess who it belongs to—sparking laughter, connection, and the kind of affirmation that lasts.

How it Works

Staff secretly write a strength or “superpower” about a teammate. At your next meeting, play a lighthearted guessing game to reveal who’s who—then display the cards with photos on a bulletin board to keep the celebration going. It’s connection, appreciation, and laughter—all in one easy activity.
