These are the days where people are looking to do things better. If

something was once good enough, it is no longer. This means that

people and companies have to tray harder to do things in a way that is

acceptable. This goes for team building as well. Team building is an

important part of running a business or corporation that can meet

deadlines fast, and hold on to well trained employees. Team building

activities are great ways to keep staff and management teams working

together and improve communication skills.

Team building activities that actually work are based on learning and

cooperation. They must also be fun and interactive to insure that

people stay interested in what is going on. Below are some great ways

to have fun, and work on team building skills.

Team building activities…. That work.

High, Lo, Yo! : This game is fun, interactive, and has lots of laughs. It can

be a great energizer between activities or useful if you are waiting for

another group. Participants stand in a circle and use hand motions,

while verbally continuing the sequence “Hi, Lo, Yo, Hi, Lo, Yo” and so

on.

Interview: You can use this activity to acquaint members of a newly

formed group or help an intact group learn more about one another. All

participants interview their partners using their own questions or ones

that the facilitator assigns. After the interview process, each person is

introduced to the group by his/her partner. By learning more about one



another, the group becomes familiar with each other, thus establishing

trust.

Bingo: This activity is great for getting people to mingle with one

another. Each member of the group should receive a “bingo card.” In

each square of the grid is a simple question or statement. The card

holder must mingle around with group members and find a person for

whom the statement is true or a person who is able to answer the

question. The goal is to complete the entire card.

Ball Toss: This activity emphasizes the importance of communication

and an individual’s contribution to a group goal. It involves tossing a

ball (or other soft throw able object) from one participant to another

across a circle, forming a pattern. Without the group’s knowledge, the

facilitator will then add more objects to the pattern so that the group

attempts to juggle the objects between them. A further goal may be to

have the group juggle all of the objects at once.

Most team building activities “work” as they are only about reacting to

others in a positive way, and helping the team reach a set goal. In order

to make this happen, you only need a team that is willing to work

together. Team building is a great way for co-workers to enjoy each

other and for team mates to better understand one another. Team

building is a crucial part of any business or team, in order to succeed at

anything you need to work good as a team, and independently in equal

parts.
