1. Scavenger Hunt<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Find a beautiful day, break everyone out into groups, and have a scavenger hunt around the city. You can organize one yourself, or use an app like\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Stray Boots<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Your team will feel nice and rejuvenated after some fresh air and fun challenges. Be sure to take plenty of silly pictures — you can even have a slideshow when everyone regroups at the end.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

2. Cook-Off<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Here’s a culinary team-building activity that could end in dessert or disaster — in a fun way. Creating new dishes together requires creativity and will require everyone to put their team and leadership skills into action. Divide your team into smaller teams, pick a food category, and challenge each team to whip up something delicious. The category could be anything from ice cream, to salsa, to pizza.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

One fun twist you could add? Pick a single ingredient that all teams\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>must\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>use, like maple syrup or Oreos. Or, have each team get creative with the shape of its food — you can make pizzas into almost any shape.

3. Improv Workshop<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Comedy and improv events are fun, interactive experiences that’ll have your employees roaring with laughter while teaching them useful communication and soft skills, like focus and trust. Depending on your budget, you could do anything from simply\u00a0playing improve games\u00a0with your employees to bringing in professionals to run competitive, fast-paced activities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

5. Professional Development Workshop<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Want to encourage your employees to bond while providing them with an opportunity to learn and further their career? Offer a shared learning experience either at your office, or at an off-site workshop or conference. The activity could be specifically related to your employees’ jobs, or it could be something broader, like a negotiation or leadership skills workshop.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

6. Volunteer<\/h4>

Giving time to support a good cause isn’t just good for the soul; it’s also a great way for your team members to bond. Place-based volunteering ideas include things like volunteering at a local soup kitchen, helping build a\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Habitat for Humanity<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0house, or delivering gifts to children’s hospitals during the holidays. Skill-based volunteering is a cool way to stretch your employees’ expertise: It’s when your team volunteers its time and uses its professional skills — anything from marketing to app development to writing — to help a nonprofit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Try\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>VolunteerMatch.org<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0for either type of volunteering opportunities, and\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Catchafire.org<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0for skill-based volunteering opportunities.

7. Mystery Dinner<\/h4>

Mystery dinners are one of the most beloved traditions here at VIP Events. On a single night, you send a group of folks from different teams within your company to dinner somewhere in your city (or at someone’s house). The dinner is hosted by one of your company’s leaders and paid for by the company. These dinners allow random groups of people from the same company to spend an evening chock full of good food and conversation together.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

What makes them a mystery dinner? The only thing participants should know about the dinner ahead of time is the date and time. Then, on the afternoon the dinner is supposed to take place, send each group an email with the name of the restaurant they’re going to and who they’ll be going with, so they can arrange transportation together.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Optional: Give every dinner host the name of a restaurant or bar to invite everyone to congregate at once the dinners are over.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


8. Room Escape Games<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Here’s a great bonding activity that requires leadership skills, teamwork, logic, and patience. Room escape games — have become a wildly popular team-building exercise for groups around the globe.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Here’s how it works: A group of people gets “locked” in a room for one hour. During that one hour, they have to find hidden objects, solve puzzles, and figure out clues to locate the key that will set them free. And it’s not easy:\u00a0actually make it out before the hour is up.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


9. Kayaking\/Canoeing<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Nothing says “let’s work together” quite like trying not to end up in the water. Want to take advantage of the outdoors? Grab a paddle and head down to the closest river for a great spring or summer outing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Many public rivers and ponds have boat houses where you can rent kayaks and canoes — and you can encourage folks to rent multi-person ones and pair up with people they don’t usually work with.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


10. Karaoke Night<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

What better way to get your employees to break out of their shells than to have them get up and sing some karaoke? You can even have a contest for best group karaoke performance. Bonus points if there are feather boas and cowboy hats involved. This works best for a more extroverted group, so if your team isn’t into strutting their stuff on stage, consider an idea on this list that caters more toward those personalities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


11. Something Touristy<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Embrace your city! Pick a hot tourist destination and go as a team. You can even do a Segway tour. (Fanny packs: optional.) It’ll be fun to laugh at how silly it feels to be a tourist in your own city, and you might even learn something new.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


12. Kart Racing<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Nothing like a little competition to bond a group together. An adrenaline-pumping event like kart racing is a great way to get employees to interact with one another in a totally new and fun way. Just make sure everyone pays attention during the safety lecture.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


13. Laser Tag<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Another great way to get your adrenaline pumping? A good old game of laser tag. Not only is it great fun, it’s also an opportunity for employees to exercise their strategy and logic skills, as well as teamwork skills. Bonus: Determine teams ahead of time and have people dress up.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


14. Painting Class<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

If you’re looking for a slightly more relaxing activity, take a group painting class.\u00a0Paint Night hosts painting classes by local artists at various bars throughout major cities for painting on canvases, wine glasses (like in the picture below), and so on. It’s a great way to let your team members unwind, catch up over some drinks, and express their creativity.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


15. Cooking Class<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

In the mood for something a little more… culinary? Change up the usual outing to a bar or your local restaurant, and try a cooking class. Through a service, you can hire a professional chef to come cook a fancy meal for you in your home or office kitchen. Between the multiple courses prepared before your eyes, your team will have plenty of time to strike up a conversation and enjoy the delicious aromas.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


16. Explore a New Place<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Few things more fun than getting out of the city and exploring for a day. So, why not do it with your team?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

For bigger events — maybe on a quarterly basis, when you have more budget to use for outings — charter a bus and take your team to a new place. You can all take a historical tour of the new place, grab lunch at a restaurant serving the town’s finest, or take in a local attraction together.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


17. Sports Game<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Round up the team and head out to a sports game. What a fantastic way to rev up team spirit while combining both competition and camaraderie.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>


18. Gameshows<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Whether you are planning a team builder for 25 people or a fundraiser or holiday event for 225 people there is nothing better to encourage teamwork and bonding while having FUN playing some of your favorite games that you have watched played on TV most of your lives. Fully customizable with text, music clips, pictures, and video!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

4. Board Game Tournament<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

Here’s one way to spark your team members’ competitive sides without having to leave the office. Organize a team-wide board game tournament. Especially if your team is pretty big, it might be easiest to pick a single game, then have people sign up for specific time slots when they’re free to leave their desks and spend some time playing the game. Some great games with reasonable play times include Boggle, Jenga, or even games using good ol’ playing cards. Don’t forget to incentivize with prizes for first, second, and third place.
