Fun team building activities, such as ice breakers, are warm-up activities that excite, engage, and jump start participants at the very beginning of our day. By inspiring and insuring fun and laughter immediately, we create a comfortable and connected learning experience. Icebreakers increase motivation, participation, and success.
Here is a great example of an icebreaker
8 Fun Team Building Activities
GRAVITY POLE
In this balancing act, it is up to everyone to keep up. Careful though…one wrong move could force everyone to start over!
ZOOM
Switcheroo-type of game where communication is key. This way, you can literally get everyone on the same page.
LYCRA TUBE
Sure it’s a “tight fit”, but it’s a great way to get your team members to bounce off of each other – figuratively and literally. A great way to boost energy after lunchtime!
SWITCH, CHANGE, ROTATE
Your team members may get confused, and they will probably get a little dizzy. As long as they pay attention and have a good memory, they should be just fine.
MOST OUTRAGEOUS
This game leaves the answers up to the participants, as they look to find something in common. The quirkier the fact, the better!
HUMAN ZIPPER
Prepare to run the gauntlet of the human zipper! It’s not as ominous as it sounds, but you have to be alert for this one.
FOREHEAD
Pick a card, any card. This particular game actually tests how we may look at people every day, whether we know it or not. A variant of a popular team building exercise involving index cards, on which character traits are printed.
BACKTALK
Visual version of the “Telephone Game”, where information is passed – and altered – from one person to another. Here, people’s drawing skills are put to the test.
