If you choose to plan your individual events, you will have to incorporate a number puzzles, events or other events that assist to bring your point to fruition. In short, you have to ensure that your staff are working together to achieve the goal you have set for them. Your goal may be to develop them as a true team.
Finding unique events can be tough. If you are tired of the old events (like the trust task of falling back on each other in the hope of getting caught) you can and must bear in mind any of the following events. They are unique and yet they teach the specifics of team building.
1. The helium stick activity is a good one to attempt. Here, you ask two groups of people to stand facing each other in two rows. They extend their index finger and the helium stick (a lightweight rod) is placed on their fingers. Without removing, pinching or otherwise holding the stick besides it lying on top of their fingers, their goal is to lower the stick to the ground. The task is nearly impossible initially. Insist on the staff stop the task and develop a strategy to achieve their goal.
2. The plane goes down, which 12 items are kept for survival? The staff works to achieve this goal of listing the 12 most necessary items that they need for survival. This kind of activity helps to teach communication skills. The staff must work together to list only 12 items, rank them and tell why they are the most necessary. They communicate this to the rest of the groups.
3. Balloon blowing is another fun but educational game you can plan for your activity. Here the staff is divided into two teams. Each team stands in a circle and one balloon is placed in the center of the staff. Once thrown in the air, the staff must keep the balloon aloft longer than the other staff. The only trick is that they can only use their breath to do it!
When making plans for events for team building, you must remember the significance of utilising tasks that employ a array of skills. You may want to concentrate on a number tasks that assist to develop a strong understanding of what it means to be a team. More tasks does not mean more will be learned, keep this at the forefront.
