Team building activities
Grangewaters is a great place to take part in team building activities.
Examples of activities are listed below. We also offer a range of ice-breakers and table-top problems.
| Activity | Description |
|---|---|
| Bomb disposal | Apply skills and ideas together to remove items from the danger zone. |
| Ladder river crossing | Get your team to the other side of a 'river' using nothing more than a series of planks. |
| Nuclear reactor | Pull together to lift rods out of the 'reactor' and into safe containment. |
| Sensory trail | Cover your eyes and trust your team members to guide you up, down, under, over and along a trail. |
| Spider's web | Solve problems to decide the order in which team members should move through the spider’s web. |
| Ski walk planks | The team steps onto two large skis, with one foot on each ski. By holding ropes and communicating with each other, the team must start to walk a set route. Timing and teamwork is crucial for success. |
| Tim's magic maze | The whole team must control the motion of a ball through a table-top maze. |
| Towers of Hanoi | In this challenge you must follow the rules and work together as team to move a tower of foam discs from one location to another. |
A typical 90-minute session would include a couple of ice-breaker activities and some tasks involving fixed equipment.
Opportunities to talk about aspects of teamwork – such as communication, cooperation, leadership and trust – will help the group decide in which ways they need develop and the tasks they should try to complete next.
