Have you ever had the privilege of managing a team? If so, you probably know the true value of teamwork and collaboration. Keeping team members on the same page isn’t something you’re born with. That’s why we’re offering you some fun team building activities. Want to know how to bring your team together for sure? Here are our 8 unbeatable tips !

TEAM BUILDING: WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Surprisingly, there isn’t a lot of content and training material that teaches managers how to get their employees to work as a team.

Did you know that culture is one of the main factors related to employee happiness; and colleagues, the main thing people like about their work?

Therefore, it is in your best interest to learn how to bridge the gap between your team, other departments and the organization as a whole…

Federating a team means bringing together the people in your company around a common project.

To do this, you must mobilize everyone’s energies around a common mission, where everyone has a place – by juggling both :

  • – the cohesion of the group
  • – the autonomy of each person
  • – collective thinking
  • – specific objectives…

All of this with the aim of making a project a success.

Federating a team can range from quick activities in the office to full day workshops or an annual company party, for example.

The important thing is to give your employees time and space to bond with each other.

To this end, we have compiled 8 tips for team building ideal for small teams as well as large groups.

8 TIPS FOR TEAM BONDING

Do you want to bond your team? Focus on activities that :

  • – strengthen communication between your employees
  • – help solve problems
  • – emphasize team bonding
  • – encourage creative thinking…

The goal of any team building activity is to improve the chemistry between your employees, to build a cohesive team and to ritualize moments of sharing and conviviality!

Here are a few examples of activities that can be carried out in your company (or outside):

1 - TREASURE HUNT

A scavenger hunt is a great way to get your employees moving and collaborating.

Depending on the space available, you can choose to do it inside or outside your company.

Divide everyone into small teams of 3 to 5 people. Hide various items around your facility and have the different groups find them.

The first group to find everything, or at least a certain number of items, wins!

2 - HUMAN KNOT

The human knot is a fun activity.

First, have your team form a circle. Then, have everyone raise their right hand in the air and grab someone’s hand across the circle. Then, tell them to link left hands with someone else across the circle.

See if they can untangle themselves without letting go of anyone’s hand.

3 - THE BLIND RETRIEVER

The goal of Blind Retriever is to guide a blindfolded person to a certain point or hidden object.

The game is a great way to test how well your employees work together under pressure and how well they respond to instructions.

To play, divide your team into small groups, blindfolding one person from each team.

The first team to successfully direct their blindfolded colleague to a hidden object wins!

4 - JUGGLING AS A GROUP

Have your team form a circle and throw a ball to an employee.

From there, ask them to say their name, then throw the ball to the next person, who says their name, and so on…

To keep things interesting and challenging, keep introducing new balls into the circle.

5 - ACTIVE LISTENER

Plan what your whole team considers a routine meeting.

Deliver a boring speech filled with jargon, and sprinkle in random unrelated phrases from time to time.

At the end, poll your employees to see who was listening.

6 - APPRECIATION CIRCLE

Ask your employees to stand in a circle.

Then tell each person to share one thing they appreciate about the person standing to their left.

Once the circle is complete, go the other way by telling everyone to share something they like about the person to their right.

7 - ESCAPE GAME

An escape game is great for testing your ability to manage resources, think under pressure and work as a team.

However, sometimes the budget doesn’t allow companies to plan a day at the local escape game room.

How about transforming one of your meeting rooms?

Plant clues and small activities throughout the room and let your employees cooperate to… win!
