A Unique Team Building Game Idea - Sand Tobogganing

May 31, 2008

Ever been to the sand dunes? If so, then you know how amazing and how beautiful they can be. Some of the sand dunes near the Gold Coast can rise over 60 metres high! But what do sand dunes and team building games have in common? Well, sand tobogganing of course!

Sand tobogganing is done, on the sand dunes with a specially made sand board that has an ultra-slick waxed bottom. This allows participants to fly down the dune on an exciting “toboggan” run. This can make the perfect team building game in and around the Gold Coast.

This can be such an excellent team building game because everyone gets to enjoy each other’s company, in a fun, and different atmosphere. People will learn things about each other they never would have otherwise, and it’s more than likely that they will find new things in common, to unite them and thereby add to the team’s cohesiveness back at the office. Plus, a fun team building game near the beautiful Gold Coast is just good for morale!

If your team is in need of a day away, contact Sports Corp Elite at 1 300 267 738 and they’ll help you set the whole thing up. From water bottles to program design, to beach permits to sun screen – Sports Corp Elite will have it covered!

Taking the Team Building Games to the Beach

May 11, 2008

The Beach Olympics on the Gold Coast is an exciting team building event that everyone can participate in.  Each employee is able to contribute to the team at the office in unique ways, and the importance of this is emphasised with the Beach Olympics team building games.

Everyone also has something different that they excel at, and other activities that are more difficult for them.  This brings balance to the team and each member will see this when the whole staff participates in these team building games.  Each member makes an important contribution in team building games like, Beach Volleyball, Beach Soccer, and Ultimate Frisbee.   These team building games are all very different and require the use of good leadership, communication and decision making skills to win.

And then, there is the water!  There are some team building games that are a part of The Beach Olympics, like Beach Flags and Water Relay which are played near the waters edge; but everyone will get wet with Water Transfer.  After a day of hard work and lots of fun in the sun – it’s great to end the day with an enjoyable and wet team building activity.

If you want to bring the Beach Olympics team building event to your Gold Coast office – Call 1 300 267 738; the entire office will thank you!     

Team Building Games - A Different Take

May 3, 2008

When thinking of team building games, things like volleyball or some other physical challenge comes to mind.  But here is something a bit different - High Rollers.  It’s just how it sounds.  Authentic, full size gaming tables, cards, chips and croupiers, along with all the glitz and glamour of Monte Carlo are brought into your location in Brisbane.

Now you needn’t worry about participants not knowing how to play the games; an overview and orientation to everything is provided.  All you and your team need to do is have fun.  Everyone gets some “funny money” that they can exchange for chips as they wish.  Then, after folks are comfortable with the games, we hold a tournament, and the person with the most chips wins!

It’s impossible not to have a good time with the High Rollers team building game, and that’s really what team building activities are all about; getting to know your fellow team members in a different and exciting atmosphere.  This new way of interacting and experiencing each other then gets brought back to the office and helps everyone work as a more cohesive team.

This team building activity is also a great way to spend the first night of a convention to help everyone get to know each other.  Ring 1 300 267 738 to have a “High Roller” style time at your next team building event or business function in Brisbane.  

Multi-Way Tug-of-War Team Building Game

January 15, 2008

Fun, finale-type activity. Physically exhausting and emotionally climaxing

  • Works for kids through to corporate programs. Ideal for adolescents and possibly youth at risk. Especially with older adults, be careful with this activity, especially if they are unfit or if overexertion is contraindicated (e.g., heart problems).
  • Use for any size groups, indoor or outdoor. Ideal is large group outdoors. Pick a soft location e.g., grass/beach.
  • In traditional 1 on 1 tug-of-war it is mostly strength that wins, with a few tactics.
  • In multi-way tug-of-war it is mostly tactics that wins, with some strength.
  • Lay out the ropes, etc. as shown in diagram below.
  • Participants should prepare appropriately e.g., watches and hand jewellery off.
  • Divide into groups and make sure the groups appear to be of similar strength.
  • Brief group on normal tug-of-war safety rules, basically:
    • no wrapping or tying rope around anyone or anything - only hold rope with hands
    • watch out for rope burn on hands - let go if rope is moving through hands
    • watch out for rope burn on body - let go if you lose footing
  • First command from the Tug-of-War master is “take the strain”. This is only to take up the slack, that’s all. The
  • Tug-of-War master makes sure the centre ring is stable and centered. This needs strong leadership because teams are always keen to add extra strain!
  • Second command is “Go!!”
  • Teams attempt to pull the center ring or knot over their finish line. This can rarely be achieved by strength alone and instead will require guile. Teams can swivel to cooperate / compete with other teams, then switch directions, etc.
  • Conduct several rounds. Continue, say, until one team earns 3 victories and the Tug-of-War title.
  • Allow teams plenty of time to physically recover and debrief/plan after each round.
  • Team building groups may wish to discuss what the secrets to success were in this activity - and whether these lessons apply elsewhere.
