12 Out of the Ordinary Team Building Ideas to Boost Teamwork
A strong team is the backbone of a successful business, and team-building exercises can enhance communication and cooperation among employees. However, traditional activities can become repetitive.
Here are 12 unique team-building ideas to invigorate your workplace events and strengthen teamwork:
Artisan Food Tasting or Workshops
Traditional wine tasting is always a hit, but why not try something new? Engage your team in unique culinary experiences like olive oil tasting or a foraged mushroom workshop. These activities not only tantalize the taste buds but also foster learning and collaboration.
Lego Building Challenge
Unleash the inner child in your team members by having them collaborate to build a mega Lego structure. This challenge encourages creativity and teamwork as employees work together to construct their imaginative creations.
Host a Dream Day
Discover what your colleagues love doing in your city and build a dream day around those activities. Have your team rank their favourite local sites and experiences, then plan a day filled with the top-ranked activities. This approach promotes bonding and shared enjoyment.
Advanced Driving
Take trust to the next level with advanced driving activities. Navigate a course with your team’s guidance, building trust and improving communication skills.
Go Kart Building & Racing
Combine creativity and competition by having teams build and decorate go-karts. Then, race them with colleagues acting as the pit crew. Offer workplace perks to the winning team for added motivation and excitement.
Farm-to-Table Experience
Connect with nature and promote sustainable practices with a farm-to-table experience. Take your team to a local farm where they can engage in hands-on activities like harvesting fruits and vegetables. Afterwards, enjoy a meal prepared from the farm’s produce. This activity fosters teamwork, creativity, and an appreciation for sustainable practices.
Museum Scavenger Hunt
Engage your team with a scavenger hunt in a museum. Teams are given instructions, tasks, or clues to solve based on the artwork. This activity encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and a deeper engagement with the art.
Circus Classes
Learn acrobatics, trapeze, juggling, and more with circus classes. No experience is required—just a willingness to try new things and have fun. These classes build trust, coordination, and a sense of adventure.
Lend a Helping Hand
Use your team-building time to make a difference in the community. Have your team identify a cause close to their hearts and spend time volunteering. Whether assembling wheelchairs, helping at an animal shelter, packing food, or raising funds, this activity strengthens team bonds and contributes to a great cause.
Glamping
Experience the great outdoors with the comfort of glamping. This accessible and enjoyable activity combines the fun of camping with added luxury, providing a relaxing and bonding experience for your team.
Messy Twister
Add a colorful twist to Twister by playing with paint-covered dots. This messy and fun activity leaves participants with unique, artistic clothing and unforgettable memories.
Bush Orchestra
Transform your team into a musical ensemble with a bush orchestra. Teams either use traditional instruments or assemble their own improvised instruments. This activity fosters creativity, collaboration, and a sense of achievement as teams create harmonious melodies together.
