Part 1: 5 Teambuilding Activities for Small Teams
with 5 to 50 participants.
1) Outdoor scavenger hunt with extraordinary app
If you haven't heard of the new Globe Chaser app yet, you're definitely missing out. The scavenger hunt app is very intuitive and inspires small and large teams on foot or by bike. The size of the team for this team building activity in the great outdoors or in an urban location is not important at all. The outdoor scavenger hunt with the Globe Chaser turns all participants into active team members. Everyone can also use their own smartphone to score important team points. Anyone who likes intuitive, active and motivating scavenger hunt team events should definitely give this event a try. The system also features real-time analyses, evaluations and a new type of app technology.
2) Teampuzzle Painting with cult status
Painting a painting is already difficult. But how do you get the tasks of "motivation", "creativity", "goal achievement" and "personality development" under one hat and still graphically represented? We present the Creative Teampuzzle Painting, an indoor teambuilding activity that has it all. High-quality MDF puzzle pieces want to be drawn and coloured systematically. A coach is available as a contact person and guides the participants through the creative teambuilding project. In the end, the group not only gains knowledge about itself and looks more positively into the future, but the painting can henceforth adorn the office premises. A truly limitless creative indoor teambuilding activity.
3) Food workshop without kitchen
Teambuilding activities are known to be harmonious only when there is also something to eat. The Food Workshop combines the instinctive desire for food with team cohesion. Participants create fancy food and drinks and get to know each other better. Existing teams are strengthened in their communication by sharing kitchen tools, coordinating with each other to ultimately put a high-quality meal plan into action. The highlight of this food workshop is that no kitchen is required. All utensils are brought to you and set up so that even office teams can enjoy delicious food. The goal is independent preparation for future lunch breaks.
4) Graffiti Action
This teambuilding activity combines creativity with action and brains. The graffiti course can take place indoors in halls as well as outdoors. Graffiti stands for independence and urban joie de vivre. Exactly these "freedoms" are the focus of this team event. They make sure that the participants completely detach themselves from their daily office or work routine for once. After an introduction, the participants go straight to work in protective suits and learn the basics of graffiti spraying and create their first own tags in just one day. More team power is not possible: either on different canvases or on large sheets, real works of art are created during the creative teambuilding activity graffiti.
5) Improvisation theatre
Everyday work is usually accompanied by improvisation and almost everyone knows that. The fact that teambuilding activities can sometimes seem improvised is perhaps due to the weather or the traffic jam on the motorway with a late start. Improvisational theatre, on the other hand, requires improvisation from the first to the last minute. Get to know your employees from a completely different perspective and try to understand each other without any verbal communication. Or build up a complete storyline in a fantasy language. This way the "audience" will only understand what improv theatre is all about through movements. If you are looking for creative teambuilding activities, improvisational theatre will open Pandora's box.
Part 2: 5 Teambuilding Activities for Large Teams
with more than 50 participants.
6) Build a bridge
Creativity meets communication meets craftsmanship. In the challenging teambuilding activity Building Bridges, teams bring everything out of themselves. First, drawings are made on paper and cardboard and then, under coaching guidance, a theoretical overall construction is created. For example, the participants build an original suspension bridge in the style of well-known motorway bridges. Material is planned and arranged and the groups are divided. Divided into "engineers and craftsmen" and "landscapers" the team will build a bridge scenario which will last for a long time. Building brid ges is a full day team building activity that is unique in Europe!
7) Game against time
Take a great treasure trove of puzzle art, design matching rhymes and a perfectly coordinated storyline. The result is the indoor team game against time, which is also unique and inspires many companies. It is one of the indoor team building activities where you have to solve challenging puzzles, math and technical tasks across teams under time pressure. The goal in the game is to win against the unknown. In this game, the unknown is not only the enemy, but an imaginary game leader. He purposefully "sends" the participants in the wrong direction. Companies looking for an adrenaline-rich supporting programme for a conference within 60 or 90 minutes should find out more about this.
8) Soapbox Grand Prix
It is the dream of many children - especially soapbox races used to be the absolute event highlights of every city summer festival. Building soapboxes and then driving a soapbox race becomes a reality here. The participants first build high-quality soapbox sets out of wood with pneumatic tyres and stable wheel suspension. After that, guests decorate their motorless team bolides to their heart's content. Finally, the teams compete against each other on a mobile course. The teambuilding activity Soapbox Grandprix takes place mostly outdoors, but can also take place indoors, e.g. in a warehouse. Great emotions and adrenalin are guaranteed. At the end there is an award ceremony with a podium and magnum bottles of Crémant.
9) Team day on the farm
The classic outdoor teambuilding activity from spring to summer is the team day on the farm. Hardly any other event turns adults from experts and managers into children again within minutes. Throughout Europe, private farm partners are available to offer companies a great team day on the farm. In addition to possible interactions with animals such as riding and co., there is also the Farm Olympics and a farm barbecue buffet, all of which is provided by the company. The Farm Olympics is all about fun: scarecrow building, tractor races, wheelbarrow races, hay bale rolling, cow milking (with wooden cows!) and other games guarantee pure fun and laughs! Motivation 2.0.
10) Drum Workshop 2.0
Almost everywhere you can book a drumming course nowadays. But this one is one of the most creative teambuilding activities that will make your team's heart beat faster: real djembe drums are used. A team of African drumming professionals heats up the atmosphere to the zenith and shortly after the start the participants begin to beat the first common beat. Depending on the size of the group, the whole thing is accompanied by instruments and a company music piece with a sense of rhythm is recorded. In the course of the game, the participants will additionally strengthen the beat with sounds, so that a fire is kindled in each participant. Emotions and goose bumps guaranteed!
