Team building activities are a fun way to get employees together. It can take off the pressure and stress of things like short term loans and mortgages. Team bonding is an important part of employee welfare activities.
Here are some good team building ideas…
Shoe mix
Employees should be divided into teams. All of them have to remove their shoes and pile it up in the middle of the room. The piled shoes are mixed with other shoes. After this, each team should come and wear their pair. The team which does this the first wins.
Pictograph
Each team member has to come and pick a chit from a bowl. The chit will not be read out to others. Only the person picking the chit knows what is written in the chit. This person communicates the word in the chit on a drawing board using illustrations.
Each team is given a chance. All the team members get equal chances. The team which scores the most will win. This game gets team members to understand each other better.
Tell a story
Team members stand in a horizontal line. One person utters a word. The other person says another word. The third person says another word which makes sense and gives some direction to form a sentence. Like this each member should say a word to form a sentence and ultimately to tell a story. You can have different versions of this. Science fiction, romance, and thrillers are good subjects for this. The best would be comedy. Not only will it entertain the people saying it, but also people listening to it.
