How To Host Corporate Team Building Activities

By Rachael Gutierrez


People should know what to do to host corporate team building activities. During the said activity, the person should make sure to plan out games that help out with various aspects of the business. For example, games that depict the situations at work should make it more familiar and entertaining for the participants of the event.

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.

Lunch is an important part of the program too. During lunch, it might be best for the person to assimilate the teams together during lunch time. Forbid them from checking on their phones during lunch time too. If they cannot help but check on their phones, they will need to buy some lunch or snack items for everyone on the table.

The participants should form teams for themselves. Remember to have each teams compete with the others. Have representatives to lead the teams. The representative is the one who will represent the group to every game that they will have to participate. It is important to consider who will lead each teams properly too.

Some organizers might want to use a thirsty straw game for this kind of event. This is the kind of game which will require players to drink water in quick speed. The first person will have to finish the drink completely before the second person can start drinking, and so on.

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.
