The document provides tips for hosting corporate team building activities. It recommends including games that incorporate simple work situations and make the games fun for participants. It suggests activities like a scavenger hunt where participants cannot speak to each other, organizing groups unexpectedly by attributes like shoe size, using meal times to improve teamwork, assigning group representatives, holding a speed drinking game with straws, collaborative story writing, and a game of telephone with an acting twist. The goal is to use engaging games and situations to help teams bond and improve their performance.
2. To those who are hosting corporate team building
activities, the first thing that one will have to consider is
planning games that will help in various business
aspects. For example, the game should incorporate
some simple situations at work. Make the entire game
fun so that the participants attend to it with more flair.
3. There should be lots of situations that the person can
use for this. Since this is the case, make sure to make a
list of the said situations. In the list, do not forget to list
the reactions of the attendees during the real situation.
With the said list, it is possible to spark a discussion with
the participants regarding this matter.
4. It will be helpful to conduct a scavenger hunt too. The
person can just use the items that are in the site. Make
the entire game more interesting by forbidding the
participants to talk to each other. They should make use
of other methods that they can think of when
communicating. The first one to find all the items for the
hunt will win.
5. Organizing the participants accordingly is a must too. In
fact, the fun starts when the organizer organizes the
participants according to a category that they expect the
least. For example, the person can use the information
on the participant's shoe size. Of course, they should not
talk about it with the others to avoid problems.
6. Meal times can also serve as a way to bond with each
other. The person should try to use this time to forger
the group's teamwork even better. For example, one can
use the cellphone for this time. To those who cannot
resist the temptation of checking up on their phones
during these times, they will have to buy the group
dinner, lunch, or snack as compensation.
7. For the formation of the groups which will participate in
the event, do not forget to assign a representative. The
said representative will serve as the leader of the group.
The task of the representative is to consolidate the ideas
of the group and change it into an effective strategy.
8. Try to organize a thirsty straw game too. This is actually
the kind of game that will encourage the person to drink
water in a quick speed. Each teams can send in at least
four teammates, give them a bottle of water with a
stuck straw, and have them drink the entire bottle. The
next person may start drinking once the previous person
finishes the bottle.
9. Story writing can also be used in this kind of event.
Instead of the plain event where the teams will just have
to write their own story, have everyone collaborate on
making one. The game should be the kind where
everyone will need to contribute one line to the story.
The best story created wins.
10. The game called telephone should work out well too. Of
course, remember to incorporate a twist that is unique
to corporate team building activities. The said game
should involve each and everyone in each teams to
make it more fun. Everyone will relay-act a certain word
and the last on the line will guess what it is that is being
acted out.
