Veterans Day with HELM Life

Veterans Day

Honor those who have served - with your whole team

There are lots of ways to bring your team together for Veterans Day!

HELM Life works with veterans and with military families to bring their stories, service and lived experience into the corporate setting - in a way that's respectful, engaging and easy for organizers to run.

Run the Veterans Day Coloring Contest

Veterans Day - Coloring Contest

Honor our veterans with a splash of creativity! Show off your artistic skills while we celebrate the service, sacrifice and courage of the men and women who've worn the uniform. Every section of the picture is unlocked by answering a short question, so your team is learning about Veterans Day the whole way through - and when they're done, everyone gets to see the full gallery of finished pictures.

How the Coloring Contest Works

It runs asynchronously - no calendar block needed. Share a link and your team plays whenever it suits them.

Share the Link

Organizers get a link, a countdown page and share assets. Participants don't need an account or a download - they just click through and start coloring on a laptop, tablet or phone.

Color & Learn

Pick a section of the picture and a short question about Veterans Day pops up. Answer it correctly and you get to choose the color for that section. Get it wrong? No worries - try again or move on to another section.

See Everyone's Artwork

When the picture is finished, click I'm Done to see the whole gallery of your teammates' colorings. Teams often run the contest for a week and hand out a prize for their favorite at the end.

Play an Organization-wide MicroLearning Challenge

Launch the challenge by sharing a link - participants find the hidden words, learn new things and test their new knowledge against their teammates on the Leaderboard! Each one takes about 10 minutes to play.

Veterans Day MicroLearning

Join us to learn about Veterans Day and to honor those who have served, and those currently serving our nation. In about 10 minutes, teams explore the history behind the day, what it means to the veterans and military families in their own organization, and how it differs from the other observances it's often confused with.
