A team building activity was held for a management group of 16 with Tonkin Consulting in Adelaide. Participants learned how to play African drums and rhythms in small groups before coming together to play as a whole. The activity highlighted how individual roles and consistent rhythms are important for a cohesive team, and allowed some members to showcase their skills while being supported by others. It was deemed a creative and successful team building exercise that improved the group's skills over time.

4. We had a fun program this week with Tonkin
Consulting in Adelaide. The Management group of
16 all came together in the evening greeted by a
room full of African drums and percussion
instruments. The apprehensive faces were
priceless. The team building in Adelaide with Team
Tonkin was superb and worth-remembering. They
were nice and friendly.

5. After learning about the instruments, how to
play them and some other useful techniques
each member was given a coloured bandanna.
They were allocated into small teams and
taught a specific rhythm. As the rhythm
progressed the next team were introduced with
a new rhythm and on this continued until the
end of the session when the whole group were
playing African beats, each having their chance
to shine when doing a solo with the rest of the
group backing them up.

6. The correlation between this activity and the
workplace team is great highlighting the
importance of each role in the team (rhythm),
how this needs to be consistent and in time with
the other parts of the business (other rhythms)
and then allowing certain members of the team
to show their flare and to shine with the
complete support of the rest of the team.

7. It was a great and creative team building activity,
a big thank you to Vickie for a great program and
for Team Tonkin for really getting into it. They
definitely improved as the activity went along
which was great!
So thank you and well done to all!
