Here’s a few of our favourite indoor team building activities that we think you should try:
Office Trivia
Office trivia is one of those great indoor team building activities for getting new employees acquainted with their co-workers and the organisation as a whole. Make this exercise as enjoyable as possible and your team will come away from it feeling like they know each other much better.
Instructions
Prepare a variety of quick-fire trivia questions in advance of the event. As an example, enquire about policies, the location of the department, or the team members. Another option is to make things more light-hearted by focusing on sports or music.
When the questions are called out, the first player to correctly answer each one is awarded a point. The game’s winner is the player with more points than all the others at the conclusion of play. Divide your gathering into smaller ones and give each one a sign or a buzzer that they can use. The fastest team to the buzzer gets to answer the question.
Goals and wishes
One of our favourite indoor team building activities is this one, because it allows employees to talk about and find ways to achieve their goals and objectives in a relaxed and confidential setting. Both new and established teams can benefit from participating in this problem-solving activity, and we believe the conclusion fosters team trust regardless of group size.
Instructions
You might want to start by having people brainstorm what they hope to accomplish in their lives by having them jot down a goal on a notepad or an index card. As an alternative, you might ask them to sum up their goal in a single sentence. Randomly pull out paper and read it aloud one at a time after everyone has contributed a wish. Once they’ve been read out, organise a discussion about how that individual can reach their goals.
Coins
For new recruits, the coin game is one of our favourite indoor team building activities since it encourages everyone to participate and share something fascinating about their lives, without putting them in a situation where they are forced to do so. It’s laid-back and easy-going, and that’s the reason most employees enjoy it so much.
The second version of the activity, in which you ask your team to recite historical facts, is a good choice if you get the impression that your group is shy. As the focus shifts away from anything too person which can help make people more comfortable.
Instructions
Set aside some cents and put them in an old-fashioned paper bag or bowl. If you’ve got a much younger team of people, you may want to check when the coins you’re using were produced. Personal stories from the year may be replaced by facts from the year in question which can lead to some fun bonding time.
