Bikes 4 Tykes – A Team Building Event That Benefits Your Team AND Local Children!
December 28, 2008
Bikes 4 Tykes is a really unique team building event that combines an opportunity for your staff to hone skills like communication, creativity, leadership and teamwork, with a chance to give back to their local community.
This team building event starts by the formation of several different teams depending on the size of your group. Then, everyone is informed of their goal; to build a bike. The problem for them though is that they have no parts!
The parts for all of the bikes must be earned through the completion of different challenges, which can be designed to meet any and all of your objectives for your team. Once the bikes are completed, a qualified bike mechanic will inspect them and report any defects to the judges. The team to build their bike to 100% first will be the winner.
Now, here comes the charitable part. During this whole time, you team is led to believe this is simply a team building exercise; they aren’t informed of the final destination of the bikes that they’re building. Once all the teams have completed their bikes though, the children will be brought in, and your teams will each get to give their newly built bikes to a needy child.
This creates a very powerful experience for your staff, one that they’ll remember, and in turn, will help them to remember all that they learned during this team building event for a long time to come!
All you need to do to schedule Bikes 4 Tykes for your team is to ring 1 300 267 738 and we’ll start working on the details today!
Why is Team Building Important for my Company Staff?
December 21, 2008
Team building activities are an essential piece of having an office or corporation that runs smoothly. Sure, you can make do without them, but your team won’t be the “well oiled machine” it could be if you were to provide them with team building opportunities on a regular basis.
This is because regular participation in team building activities will benefit your staff and company in a myriad of different ways. They’ll help your staff to create shared bonds, hone their leadership skills, improve communication, and increase their creativity as well as their overall motivation.
Team building events and activities also provide your company staff with the opportunity to increase their understanding of the value of team work. Often, employees become so concerned with their role and responsibilities that they forget that they’re part of a larger team. But, working together is key in helping promote overall office efficiency and success.
Once you’re ready to see the proof of these benefits for yourself, just call 1 300 267 738. We can provide you with all the information you need about the success of team building activities and help you organise an event for your team that will be guaranteed to succeed!
Do You Want Excitement and Adventure for Your Team – Mission Impossible 4 Delivers!
November 27, 2008
If you’ve got a team in need of some excitement and adventure Mission Impossible 4 will be the perfect team building activity for them.
It all starts with a briefing of the mission involving a briefcase that the team must work together to find. Once they understand their mission, your team will be whisked away on Harley Davidson’s, a speed boat, or a Hummer limo with basic supplies (food, water, maps, and a few clues). This is where the excitement begins!
Your staff must use team building skills like creativity, decision making, leadership, communication, and so much more in order to complete their mission. None of the information required to find and open the case will come without some hard work and solid effort on their part. Instead, they’ll have to complete difficult (and easily customisable) challenges to gain this needed info.
Then, the team that finds the case first brings it back to base. All the other teams gather there and the team that found the case has the first crack at opening it. If they fail, all the other teams will have a chance at opening the case and winning the activity.
Once the winner is determined, and the awards ceremony is held, your team building facilitator will hold a debriefing session before the day is done.
As you can see this is a well rounded team building activity filled with a lot of excitement, adventure, and, though your team will hardly realize it, education!

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!

Q: Are Team Building Activities Really That Important?
September 19, 2008
A: Yes! Now, you could easily say “Oh, of course these guys are going to say yes to that question, team building is their business”; we don’t deny it! But, if you look at the facts, team building activities really do help the overall performance of your office, your staff’s stress levels and in the end, your bottom line!
Team building activities present opportunities for your staff to get to know each other beyond their role at work and to begin to build meaningful relationships that will follow them all back to the office after the activities are long over.
These relationships are the foundation of successful interactions and seamless production at the office. When people can work well together this helps to reduce their levels of work stress and thereby improve the general functioning and productivity of your office.
Team building activities also provide staff an opportunity to have fun, while practicing things like communication skills, leadership skills, decision making and even positive ways to handle competition. Again, these skills then follow your team back to the office and enable them to perform to their highest capabilities.
So really, when you look at all the information, there’s no way you can afford not to offer your team all of the benefits and opportunities that team building activities provide. Call 1 300 267 738 and we’ll help you organise the perfect event for your team; which will definitely make you a believer in the importance of regular participation in team building activities!
Memorable and Exciting; 2 Must Haves for Team Building Activities
September 9, 2008
If you’re going to hold a team building day you’ve got to have activities and events that are both memorable and exciting. These qualities will help your team easily remember (and utilize) the skills and ideas learned during the team building activities once back at the office; the ultimate goal of any team building event.
Activities that everyone enjoys also help in the creation of team bonds. No one is usually able to get to know their co-workers better or create positive shared memories (some of the essentials for creating strong bonds among team members) when they feel stuck, or “bored to tears” by the activity they’re being forced to participate in.
But, fun and unique team building activities will bring out the best in your staff and help them to create and strengthen relationships as well as practice and utilize skills like communication, decision making, leadership, and so many others.
If you don’t want to waste time on a potentially boring or forgetful team building activity, call 1 300 267 738. We only hold events staff will rave about for a long time because they were so informative and educational yet so fun and exciting! Take a look at our Testimonials Page on our website and see for yourself!
