Experience Highlights:

Welcome, and Safety Briefing:

Begin immediately with single-story introductions of either the entire team or randomly chosen participants. The question, “what is something you’ve done or attempted that you didn’t believe was possible? How does it define you today?

Brief the day’s activities, safety protocols, and team objectives but dig into the group’s Why. What do people hope they’ll achieve?

Formation of Teams:

Divide the group into smaller teams to encourage interaction and maximize participation.

Each team receives color-coded gear to build team identity and spirit.

Icebreaker Activities:

Start with engaging icebreaker games to energize the group and build rapport among team members.

Examples include human knot, name games, and quick relay races.

Field Game Rotations:

(let’s brainstorm new games that people haven’t done and will find exciting. These feel a bit dated to me.)

Participate in a series of fun and competitive field games, rotating between different stations to ensure variety and engagement. Some of the games include:

Tug of War:

Test strength and teamwork in a classic game of pull and power.

Capture the Flag:

Strategize and collaborate to capture the opposing team’s flag while defending your own.

Relay Races:

Compete in various relay races that combine speed, agility, and teamwork.

Giant Volleyball:

Enjoy a twist on traditional volleyball with oversized balls for added fun and challenge.

Ultimate Frisbee:

Engage in a fast-paced, non-contact team sport that emphasizes strategy and coordination.

Obstacle Course:

Navigate through a series of physical challenges that require teamwork and perseverance.

Lunch and Social Time: (Optional)

Break for a delicious catered lunch, providing time to relax and socialize with team members.

Use this opportunity to share experiences, strategies, and build stronger connections.

Team Challenges and Trust Exercises:

Blindfold Navigation:

Partner up to guide each other through a course while blindfolded, emphasizing trust and communication.

Human Pyramid:

Work together to build a human pyramid, testing balance, coordination, and support.

Water Balloon Toss:

Enjoy a light-hearted challenge where pairs must toss and catch water balloons without breaking them.

Grand Finale Game:

(these feel overused. What can we have them create that’s memorable?)

Conclude the activities with a grand finale game that brings all teams together for a final challenge.

Example: Mega Tug of War or a large-scale team relay race.

Reflection and Discussion:

(Rather than a large group discussion, what if they ended with fun? A sponsored party with food, drinks, and a great location to just chill and hang together. FYI, the most popular group events in my world were nearly always exactly this. No expectations, nothing forced, a good hang with their co-workers was the most appreciated.)

Closing Ceremony:

Conclude the day with a closing ceremony, celebrating accomplishments and awarding fun recognitions and prizes.

Capture group photos to commemorate the experience.
