How To Make Team Building A Success

By Carla Rossouw


One of the things that companies plan every year is team building. Many believe that it is very important to have an event where employees can mingle together and do activities that will help them as individuals and as members of a team. There are many activities being done and some of them are listed below.

Two Truths and a Lie-This activity is best done at the beginning of an event. It gives time for the members to know each other. If the group is too big, you can divide them into smaller groups. The rules are simple. Each member should think of three statements about themselves - two should be true and one should be a lie. The member will let other members guess which one of the three statements is the lie. This way, the members will get to know each other better and will have the chance to tell personal stories. You can spice it up by giving out exciting prizes.

Next activity is the existence highlights game. Because the title indicates, every member needs to share his best moments in existence towards the others. The mechanics are pretty straight forward. The participants receive a minutes to shut their eyes as well as reducing the very best moments they've familiar with their lives to date. Next, they're going to have to talk about the very best together team people. The truly amazing factor relating to this activity would be that the people will have the ability to share happy ideas with one another. They'll have the ability to share part of these questions very positive manner which could include their passion as well as their personas. This can be a very fun and galvanizing activity for everybody.

The third popular activity is the Pictures Pieces Game. The members will be grouped in several teams and each team will have puzzle pieces. The catch is that every member must have one puzzle piece which he has to recreate on a larger scale. They have to do this without knowing what picture they are going to piece together. This will encourage them to think not only about themselves but also their teammates. This will also boost their creativity and imagination. This will help them understand that whatever they do for the team - no matter what their task is- it will have a great impact on the larger picture.

Another activity is the Great Egg Drop. This activity will push the people for their limits if this involves creativeness and style. They have to produce a package that will contain the egg and it whole despite being dropped from the height of eight ft. This really is quite untidy but that's where all of the fun originates from. Before team drops their packed eggs, they're going to produce a short presentation regarding their package first. They have to convince the crowd why it's the best one - stating the highlights and also the strong points of the product.

Team building events are great for improving camaraderie among employees especially if it is done the right way. Let the participants enjoy while learning the core values included in the activities.
