Corporate team building activities.
As we work together, whether in person or through the popular Zoom, we all create bonds and connections with our colleagues. It’s the day-to-day sharing and common understanding: the postman knocking on the door in the middle of a meeting, the small talk over a cuppa at the office’s kitchen, dogs barking in the background at squirrels. Don’t worry - your team gets it!
And it’s this same connection we share with our workmates that makes it so fun and special when we get out of the office and enjoy some fun experiences together. Team building events can also enhance your team’s leadership skills, teamwork and communication.
If you’re looking to reward your team with some quality time, we bring you some cool ideas below of activities you can all enjoy on an amazing team day out. Whether you prefer corporate indoor games or if you’re more outdoors-y people, we’re sure to have something for everyone!
Indoor crazy golf
This has become an amazingly popular activity over the last few years! It’s a great way to inspire some (healthy!) competition between your team and get them to enjoy some relaxed time with a good old cocktail in hand.
Most crazy golf experiences also include bars and restaurants, meaning you can have a good catch up with your work besties either before or after your games.
Their ambience can also have a theme to them through their decor, making it an even more interesting place to be in.
Due to popularity, these tend to get booked up quite quickly so it’s always a good idea to organise it well in advance to avoid any disappointments. Some venues will accommodate groups of up to 20 people and sometimes even more, making an office crazy golf tournament a great way to celebrate together!
Corporate go karting
Get your team’s hearts pumping by organising a go karting experience! If you have a team filled with some adrenaline junkies, this is an excellent option for a team building event. Some venues will have sports bars available within them, allowing the team to grab a drink after the race to compare scores and brag about their placement!
If you make use of a corporate events planning company like NICE Events, you can get this experience booked with specific suppliers who will accommodate large corporate parties and can even tailor the experience to suit the team’s needs.
This might also mean there’s no rush to leave the venue, making it a day that’s all about you and your colleagues.
Ninja workout
Speaking of hearts pumping, a ninja workout may just be right up your outdoors-y, competitive and energetic team’s street! Inspired by the very popular and highly entertaining TV craze, this team building activity is perfect for those who like to move their bodies around whilst having a good laugh.
All your team will need is some comfortable clothing and a positive attitude! Most of these are organised on a team rather than individual basis, bringing everyone to work together towards victory.
At NICE Events, for example, we work with a variety of suppliers who organise Ninja workout days that can strategically place activities depending on the team’s requirements. There’s no need to be a fitness master either - this is meant to be fun, not a boot camp!
Treasure hunt
Many people will have a sweet memory from their childhood when they used to play scavenger hunt games with their friends and family. As a team, you can bring some of that back by organising a treasure hunt team building event for you and your colleagues to enjoy together.
Treasure hunt events can be either indoors or outdoors, rural or urban, depending on your team’s preferences. There’s something for everyone, including different themes, such as pirate, Christmas or crystal maze-themed ones.
This is a great activity to work on those communication and leadership skills, as well as logic and problem solving. Scavenger hunts are quite creative, so there’s a mixture of photo clues, videos, open-ended questions, general knowledge and lots more! Plus, you might all get to visit a new place, which is never a bad thing.
Corporate escape room
Similar to a scavenger hunt experience, escape rooms are another popular option for a team building event. With a variety of themes to choose from, escape rooms are a fun way to put your team’s problem solving abilities to the test in a fun and relaxed atmosphere!
From scary and horror-themed rooms to more fun-themed ones, such as a crazy scientist lab, escape rooms give everyone a chance to put their thinking brains on in an effort to leave the room in a reasonable time.
Some venues will also provide food and drinks, making the experience even more complete and enjoyable.
