Benefits of Team Building Activities
When working in teams, it is paramount for everybody to get along and function as one cohesive unit. One of the best ways to induce this is to partake in unique team building activities. Team building helps break down communication barriers and gets employees to trust each other in through activities they wouldn’t otherwise do. There will always be some members of the team who resist the “forced fun,” but it is important to get them involved and explain the value that team building brings to the organization.
Unique Team Building Activities
Team Building Activities That Enhance Out-of-the-Box Thinking
Escape Room- Escape rooms give teams the unique opportunity to work together in a fun way to achieve a common goal.
Improv Workshop- Improv encourages participants to communicate using verbal and non-verbal cues. This shift in perspective can help teams build trust and understand each other in new ways.
Scavenger Hunt- Scavenger hunts allow companies to teach employees about the history of their organization by having them find objects and relics that draw to the company’s past.
Team Building Activities for Active Groups
Hiking- Even a simple hike can be an excellent way to get team members together, especially if standing around in a room all day doesn’t sound like the best fit.
Yoga- Yoga can be a fun and relaxing way to bring teams together. Yoga festivals can be a great way to get the whole team involved. Breckenridge Yoga Fest is a place where teams can bond and build relationships right at the heart of Breckenridge. Beaver Run Resort is also offering discounted rates for festival attendees.
Team Building Events that Are Just Plain Fun
Sporting Event- A rather popular team building event is attending any sporting event. Depending on seating arrangements, not all team members may have the chance to speak with everyone. This form of team building is recommended for teams who already have pre-existing relationships in place.
Virtual Reality- The rise of VR Rooms gives companies the chance to build relationships through virtual scenarios. It can be fun to watch coworkers to “walk” a tight rope, play guitar, or work together to solve a virtual puzzle.
Lawn Games/ Picnic- A simple barbecue with some lawn games can be a great way to get everyone together. This type of team building activity is perfect for budgets and teams of all sizes.
