Teams with personal ties to one another typically have more productive and successful working relationships in any type of workplace. While taking a break from work to engage in team-building exercises could be difficult, doing so can foster interpersonal relationships at work. In order to help you get to know your team better, we go over the value of team building in this post and provide five team-building activities.
… Exciting things will happen, you hold the key.
What are Team- Building Activities?
Games or other social interactions that strengthen the bonds between coworkers are considered team-building activities. There are many different kinds of hobbies, but the majority need a great deal of interpersonal communication, such as sharing intimate facts with one another, cooperating to finish an enjoyable activity, or engaging in friendly competition.
Building rapport among coworkers is the aim of team-building exercises; this fosters the camaraderie and trust that grow into solid working partnerships. Team-building activities also give workers a break from their work, allowing them to refuel and feel refreshed to finish their other responsibilities. Organizations that routinely organize team-building activities may notice improvements in productivity and a more laid-back mood in the office. Through the improvement of their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, these exercises can also benefit each team member individually.
1. Game of Possibilities.
Gather a few random items from the office, preferably one or two for each team member, before you begin the game. Give each person an object when it’s their turn, and they must act out a different usage for it. One way to play along would be for a person to pretend to use a stapler as chopsticks or salad tongs. The other team members have to guess the other usage of the object without the player speaking. Encouraging workers to come up with fresh uses for everyday objects helps foster creativity in the workplace.
2. Purpose Mingle.
This game is perfect to play before a team project or meeting. After deciding what they would most like to bring to the meeting, have each employee approach a different colleague and briefly explain their response. This could be anything like “Assist in determining a sales plan for the upcoming quarter” or “Take thorough notes during the conference.” Engaging in this game before significant tasks can boost team members’ motivation and collaboration, resulting in optimal project completion.
3. Would You Rather?
Start by formulating a series of arbitrary “Would you rather?” inquiries, such as “Would you rather watch a football game or an opera?” or “Are you more interested in cereal or pancakes for breakfast?” Using a piece of tape to divide the room in half, put each possible answer on a notecard and arrange them on opposing sides of the tape. Each employee will leap to the side that matches their response when you ask the question.
For as long as you want the game to last, you can keep doing this with different questions. Teams can establish friendships based on shared interests and discover commonalities by getting to know each other’s responses.
4. Two Truths and a Lie.
Organize your team into a circle and assign each member to share three “facts” about themselves. Nonetheless, one of the facts has to be false. For example, someone might say, “I play drums in a jazz band,” “I went to space camp in middle school,” and “I am right-handed.” The next task for their colleagues would be to determine which item is false. By highlighting shared interests or character attributes, this game can foster interpersonal relationships.
5. Penny for Your Thoughts.
Your team members will find a new and interesting approach to get to know each other better with this sharing game. For every team member, all you need is a cent that is no older than fifteen years. Every individual talks about a significant or unforgettable event that occurred throughout the year that is imprinted on the penny. Sharing their memories fosters empathy and a sense of community.
