We are always coming up with something new! Here are just a couple of our latest ideas...

SPEED Charades

This is a fun and chaotic activity that is a great ice breaker, meeting energizer and team builder-- for any size meeting; 5 people to 500 or more can play. You can play it in 15 minutes or take longer—it is that flexible. You divide the group into teams of 5- 10 people. The object of the game is to have each team act out as many charades as possible for their own team members-- in the period of 1 minute. For a generic version, you can use famous movie titles, but you could also use company trivia or whatever may be relevant to your industry. Of course, you can also use books, songs, etc. But whatever you choose, in order to insure speed, all titles should be of the same basic category. This is an activity that you can facilitate or we can do it for you. Details on Speed Charades can be found in our latest newsletter "Team Building Tips You Can Use."

"CLUES"- -Beyond "Who Dun-It"

An ice breaker, a team builder, a one-hour activity, a 2-hour activity, indoors, outdoors, for a small group of 30 or a large meeting of 250, during the day or during dinner. This one game offers you extreme flexibility and maximum interaction. The initial part of the activity is reminiscent of the old game of "Clue," where you try to figure out the perpetrator, the weapon and the room by process of elimination. But after that, there is a complete twist with a series of clues handed to your team. These challenge your team's powers of deductive reasoning and mental acuity as you race to discover the motive, the time line of the crime, and which suspect occupied which room in tha mansion. Easy to facilitate yourself, or we can bring it all to you. Magnifying glasses go to the happy winners. 

Water- the Essence of Life

 This is our latest socially responsible and GREEN  team builder. What makes a great team building event is having an interesting challenge that is creative, fun and meaningful. This one does all of that plus it is educational too! Teams will learn how to create a real water filtering device, that can make a critical difference during an emergency. They will get to design the filter, based on knowledge of how it operates and what materials are required to make it work. They will also have to create instructions on operating the filter and building a similar one-- in a foreign language. Read our latest blog post for more information.    

Team Minute to Win It!

Fast-paced, fun, creative and something you will definitely want to film! Our version of this popular TV show is great for small or large groups. Teams are challenged to perform a number of entertaining tasks against the clock. We provide the props and equipment and the basic rules and framework, but teams also have input on the rules of the contests-- making it even more interesting. Your group will be talking about this event for years to come!

The GAME Behind the Game

Creating a game is one of the most collaborative activities you will ever experience. We all know what a game is: it's entertaining, social, often has strategy, communication skills required, competitive and more! The Game Behind the Game is two "games" in one. The actual process of the event is one game- in which we make changes, have you change teams, and have limited resources. What your team(s) creates is another game, but it must illustrate and support a concept-- like "dealing with change." You have to work with your teammates to create a fun, interesting competitive game that will delight the other teams. Will it be too simple, too complicated, or just right? Intriguing, unpredictable, and fun, because you get to play the games created by the other teams. Plus, you are only limited by your imagination-- and the main question is always "What if...?"

Wine Olympics

If you are holding your offsite at a winery, this is the perfect team building event for you. This fun and wacky series of 6- 8 games are done on a flat, grassy field. The objective is for each team to get as much “grape juice” to make wine as possible. Of course, we would really be using water. 

 

This event gets teams out on the lawn and doing some fun, entertainingly hilarious things:

1.      Giant Grape Rolling.  The “juice” is in four large purple balloons. Each team needs to form a circle around their four giant grapes—but face to the outside of the circle and link elbows. They use their feet to nudge and roll their balloons across the field, around a cone and back—without breaking any of them. Seriously silly and fun.

2.      Grape Conveyor- Each team spreads out across the field in pairs. Between each pair a towel is held. The first team of two picks up a grape balloon and catapults it with their towel to the second tandem, who must catch it in their towel, before flinging it to the next couple in the team line. The object is to get all the grape balloons down to the end team bucket. 

3.      Grape Stomping (using small purple water balloons in buckets). Difficult to break, but gives the same squishy feel. Each person on the team takes turns stomping – to try and break the balloons. In the end, all liquid is separated from the “skins” and saved in the team’s “wine bucket.’

4.      The Wine Line—a series of PVC pipes and connectors need to be put together in order to channel water through it in the fastest time possible. Some of the pipes have holes in them, causing leaks—which can be plugged by fingers strategically placed. Team are allowed to test their structures before the actual race takes place. 

 

After this entertaining series, each team designs its own wine label. There would be points associated with the games as well as creating the best label, etc. The total points determine the winning team.
