Being able to engage in teamwork and being a team player is crucial for most employees of any kind of business!

Indoor Team Building  –  It’s Purpose

Fun Indoor Team Building Activities re-energize employees that are tired of working long hours for less pay and better yet, under the threat of termination.

It is a well known fact that many workers have mentally checked out of their jobs since the recession of 2008.

These particular individuals are simply doing what they have to until something better comes along.

Crazy thing is, most businesses today are aware of this and simply needs to come up with a more energetic solution.

So, we’ve created a list of the 3 “R”‘s as a reason why you may want to implement an interactive team building event for your employees to boost morale.

This can be one of the many activities that will encourage your staff and get them back on track to producing again.

Retention

Wouldn’t it be nice if your employees could regurgitate all of the information that was presented at your last training event?.

How to you measure what was retained and what wasn’t?

There are thousands of companies turning towards a “brain stimulating game” like Jeopardy?

This particular game show is proven to be one of the most fun and effective ways to measure retained information.

Motivate your Team

Getting more employees re-energized and motivated to finish deadlines or last minute assignments is not an easy task?

Let’s face it, several companies have lost their employees psychologically due to the after effects of the infamous recession of 2008.

Now that it seems that we are coming out of darkness economically speaking, one thing is for sure, the loss of employee engagement is huge.

One of the most dreaded tasks is to figure out a way to engage your employees at the next training event? Minute To Win It and Family Feud style games can be a few great ideas to break the monotony while bringing back the spark in a particular department or group.

Rewards and Recognition

After your employees participate in some interactive entertaining activities, why not reward them with great prizes such as free gift cards, trips and/or comp days! Everyone loves a friendly competition and a chance to WIN great prizes!

Consider having a LIVE GAME SHOW activity for your next employee training or workshop?

It’s truly an ultimate icebreaker that co-workers the opportunity to enjoy solving puzzles, company trivia questions and/or answering our wacky survey questions.

As the saying goes, a group that PLAYS together, STAYS together.

Fun Group Activities

While many of us have had to participate in team building activities at some point in our life, the majority of these games can be a major snooze.  If you’re looking for a way to make your next corporate event more enjoyable, keep reading to learn how to build camaraderie all while actually having fun!

1. Humpty Dumpty Race

This indoor team building activity starts by having all attendees partner up.

Direct them to stand back to back.  Place an egg between their backs.

The goal of this game is to have the partners work together.

They have to maneuver in a way that gets their egg to the ground without breaking it.

The first team to accomplish this wins the round!

If you want to avoid the use of a breakable egg, you can also swap it out for a small rubber ball.

With the rubber ball, the object of the game is to put the ball on the ground without it bouncing too high or rolling off.

2. Watch Where You Step

If you’re looking for a more elaborate game and one that will take up a little more time, give “Watch Where You Step” a try!

This game begins on the floor, where you will create a large, enclosed shape.

The shape should be about twelve feet long and seven feet wide.

Inside the shape, place squeaky toys (such as dog toys), and twice as many sheets of paper as the toys.

These papers act as landmines.  The goal for this indoor team building activity is for pairs to make it from one side of the polygon to the other.

But here’s the catch—they are blindfolded.  Players inside the polygon, who are wearing the blindfolds, are only to use the vocal guidance of the players on the outside of the shape that are not blindfolded.

If a player steps on a “landmine,” they become frozen and must wait for their partner to step on a dog toy to continue.

If both players become frozen, the team is then forced to restart.

3. A Cappella Karaoke

The human voice has the power to trigger human emotion.

So, instead of having traditional karaoke, get your singing voice ready as a team building activity with absolutely no music.

This activity is designed to turn down the music and turn up the laughs.

First, select popular songs by age group and have everyone partner up. Have each guest sing 3 to 7 lines from the chorus.

His or her partner has to attempt to sing the last line.
