10 Fun Team Activities

10 by 10In addition to covering the items listed in 10 Important Things To Do Mid-Year,  Jan suggested doing something fun with your team.  It could be a separate activity or several activities woven throughout your agenda.  Here are 10 starter ideas.  From there – find something that fits your time frame, location and group.

1.  If you do it in July, choose one of the suggestions in 10 Ways to Boost Morale & Productivity in July

2.  Bring in a punching bag.  Take turns punching.  Especially appropriate when discussing mistakes, problems and obstacles.

3.  Bring in a karioke machine or even better,  take the team to a karioke bar.

4.  Take everyone bowling.   You don’t HAVE to tell them in advance.  You could make it a spur-of- the-moment thing.

5.  Go to a water park like Wet ‘n Wild.  Be sure to do the bumper boats!

6.  Go to a cooking class like these at The Fearrington House.

7.  Go to the symphony.  If there isn’t something  like this available in your area, take everyone to the symphony and lead a group discussion in what it takes for them to perform.

8.  Do a ropes course nearby or  this one that says they’ll come to you.

9.  Go white water rafting.

10.  Take driving lessons.

 

We’d be glad to help you plan and facilitate a productive retreat that lays the foundation for strong performance.
