Fun, Unique, and Challenging; The Main Ingredients of Successful Team Building Activities
October 31, 2008
If you are working on organising your company’s team building day, it’s very important that you select activities that will challenge your participants, provide them with a fun experience, and that are different than the team building activities they’ve participated in at other times in the past.
But why is this? It’s because if your team members are bored, uninterested, or have already completed a team building activity you select, they will get little if anything out of the event, and in the end, you’ve wasted your time and money organsing the team building day.
So, what are you to do? Well, luckily, you’ve found this site! We specialise in team building activities that address your company’s goals and expected outcomes, while also offering participants something fun, unique, and challenging!
Team building activities like The Amazing Race Around, Survivor, Corporate Hijack, Crew Synergy Sailing, and all the others we offer here are guaranteed to give your team a great experience that they will be talking about long after the event is over. And, we’ll work closely with you to customise any event you select to meet all your team building goals and objectives, while still maintaining a fun and exciting atmosphere for your staff.
All you need to do is call 1 300 267 738 and we can talk about your needs and those of your team and then work together to create a highly successful team building day you’ll all really enjoy and get the most from!
The Rookie; A Challenging, Fun, Money Making Team Building Game!
October 28, 2008
This team building game challenges your team to take a small investment and make it into something big, with their only assistance coming from each other.
They’ll take public transportation to find the various locations at which they will find money making opportunities and competition. Each team will have to work together to make a profit selling flower arrangements (that they made) for example, gambling at the casino, shining shoes, or even creating and selling a piece of artwork.
At the end of the game, the team with the most cash wins! The resulting “windfall” can be used to throw a party for your staff, buy medallions or, you could choose to donate it to a local charity.
If you think your team would benefit from the creative thinking, decision making, and other team building skills that are required to come out a winner in this event, just ring 1 300 267 738. We can customise the challenges to suit your goals and objectives and we’ll take care of all the arrangements to create a fun and challenging team building game for your staff!

Q: My team is doing OK, but they’re missing a little something. What could I do to give them their “Spark” back?
October 17, 2008
A: This happens to many teams over time; things are running smoothly and everyone is working well together, but they’re just not excited, feeling as positive, or working as productively as they could be. A great solution is to get your team out of the office to participate in some team building activities.
Providing your team with a chance to do something new in an environment they aren’t used to will rejuvenate them, and, giving your staff space to interact with each other outside of the workplace, can help them to develop stronger personal bonds and connections.
Stronger relationships among your team members and being able to have a good time, while also exploring essential team building skills like communication skills, creativity, leadership skills, teamwork, and decision making skills through team building activities will definitely help revive their “spark” and increase their productivity.
To start the process of organising a team building event for your team, simply ring 1 300 267 738; we’ll help you select the best activity for your team’s needs and will guarantee the team building event’s success!
Bikes for Tykes – A Team Building Event with a Twist!
October 14, 2008
Are you looking for a unique team building event that offers your team more than the “same old same old”? Look no further than Bikes for Tykes.
This special team building event combines all the important aspects of a team building activity like team work, communication skills, creativity, quick thinking, and leadership skills with something extra; charity work!
During Bikes for Tykes, your team’s challenge will be to assemble a bike. It’s not as easy as it sounds though. There will be challenges that must be completed to obtain all of the pieces to build the bike, and the teams are under strict time constraints; so they’re working under pressure just like back at the office,
Once the bikes are complete, each team will enjoy the satisfaction and positive feelings of giving their completed bike directly to a child in need (the children will arrive at the facility to collect the bikes), so the end result is real and the achievement that much greater!
To schedule bikes for tykes for your next team building event, just call 1 300 267 738; your team will be better for it.
