Team-BuIldING acTIvITIes
Taking you outdoors and stepping (if only slightly) out of
your comfort-zone, opening the lines of communication in a
fun and light-hearted manner effectively solidifies a group’s
dynamic. Here are some activity examples:
Ice Breakers
Get To know You Games — There is never a wrong time
to learn about the life your colleagues lead outside of work.
Group Juggle — If you think juggling is hard, try juggling
multiple items with multiple people!
circle Games — Learn things about your coworkers that
you never thought imaginable after these 10 games.
TrusT
knotty by Nature — Rope knots or human knots, try your
luck at untying your restrictions and work in unison!
Blindfolded Focus — Let your senses and your teammates
guide you through fields of fire! Ok, not actual fire.
commuNIcaTIoN aNd ProBlem solvING
The Grid — Navigate through unchartered territory, but be
mindful of where you step.
shrinking Island/lava Pit/mine Field — Test your foot
skills and keep your team safe from harm.
spider Web — Conquer the strength of the web to achieve
a team goal. No actual spiders are present.
FuNdamental
Pass the can — Can your group get from point A to E
efficiently and effectively? Find out!
sardines — Reverse hide and seek, and in the gardens!
debrief/Wrap-up
Participants have the opportunity to chat about their time,
efforts and to tie it all in to daily life. People may be amazed
at how an opportunity like this expands their perceptions of
one another and unites teams in a unique way.
