Fun Corporate Team Building Activities - 3 Games and Activities for The Next Corporate Event

Fun corporate team building activities promote employee unity and strengthen their interpersonal relationships.

While seminars and discussions on team building may be fresh for the length of the respective event, a practical experience tends to deliver an unforgettable impact.

Several organizations conduct training programs for their employees regularly to inculcate team skills. These programs need not be strictly formal. With little creativity, you can make them an entertaining corporate event. Here are some fun team-building activities that amuse and teach as well:

Team versus Helium Stick

A whole team works to bring down a helium stick. Seems pretty simple on the surface, but do not underestimate this activity.

Team members stand in two rows with each member facing the other. The helium stick is placed on their index fingers. Together, they need to place the stick on the ground.

This is difficult because the helium stick shows a propensity to move up than down. To succeed, teams need to put in collaborative efforts and plan smart.

Spin a Story

Give each team member a picture. The content of the picture of one member should not be revealed to the other beforehand. As each member takes turn to reveal his/her picture, he/she creates a story around the picture.

The overall story should be compatible with all the pictures held by the whole team. Team members need to listen to their partners, let their creativity flow, exchange ideas, decide on the best plot, respect others' ideas, and accept a singular decision, to win.

The Unbreakable Egg Contest

Get teams to develop a package consisting of a single egg such that it survives a drop (decide the height of drop beforehand). Include an advertising slot for the team to sell its make.

This activity highlights team efforts, good decision-making skills, creative talent, fine analyzing, team support, and promotional skills. It also promotes healthy competition between teams.

A workforce that understands and believes in the concept of a team is essential for the success of any organization. Such fun activities offer employees great insight into the power of teamwork.
