Gone are the days when business owners tried to feed employees as per their wishes. The modern days are witnessing a great transformation when it comes to achieving some of the toughest tasks and targets. There is no more ‘I’, but the idea has changed significantly to ‘WE as a TEAM’. With this motto, the organizations have been able to nurture the potential and execute the strategies effectively and efficiently. The corporate firms are engaging with some of the top event management companies to introduce some of the ‘out-of-the-box’ flamboyant team building activities.

There can be several office team building activities. These can be categorized in to either indoor or indoor ones. But, the top 10 can be as follows–

• Delicacy Making Session

Let’s not be parochial about our day-to-day tasks. We need to think about it from a broader perspective. The event hosting companies suggest organizing session where each team is given the task of preparing a definite platter.

Food is both art and science and the session is all about seeing how each employee performs as a team. Not everyone is good at all things hence, to prepare a meal, participation from every employee stands important. Such a session occasionally helps inculcate a spirit of team-building. It is one of those outdoor team building activities where each member works with the recipe to cook just a GOOD, FRESH & YUMMY FOOD.

• Treasure Hunt

It is a game of teamwork. Each team is provided with a list of items that they need to collect by searching from different places to complete the list. The items listed should not be purchased. This is one of those outdoor team building activities that improve not only the coordination but also cooperation between the different members. It fosters a strong professional bonding among the team members. 

• Game of Chicken, Rice, and Dog

A delightful game to unite the entire team towards team collaboration. It is considered a turbo-charged game that helps solve critical problems. In this game, one member acts as a farmer and the rest villagers. The farmer has to make the purchase of Rice, Chicken, and Dog and has to return to the village after crossing the river. Condition is that the farmer cannot leave any two items on the boat with the help of one hand. Check it out if you can!
