Tips In Hosting Corporate Team Building Activities

By Rachael Gutierrez


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.

There are many situations that the participants may encounter at work. That is why it is highly recommended for people to create a list of such situations. Also, make a list of how the participants should react. There should be a discussion on the things in the list about the similarities and differences on the situation.

There are times when the person should organize a scavenger hunt. Of course, the items that are already present in the said location should be the ones that the person use in the list for the scavenger hunt. Try to add a twist by forbidding verbal communication. Make them use other forms of communication.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Another kind of game that people can play during this kind of activity is story writing. If possible, one should try to write a funny story that will entertain others. Every teammate should contribute a line to the story. The ones that can produce the best story after working together will win.

A telephone game should work during the corporate team building activities too. The team will have to form a line where the first player decides on a mime for a certain word or phrase. The mime actions will be relayed to the second player to the third and so on. The last player will be the one who will guess what the mime action is all about.
