Jungle Drums – The Power of Music and Team Building Combine to Show the Importance and Effectiveness of Teamwork
December 26, 2008
This unique team building activity will give your staff a chance to enjoy making music as a group. It’s great for any number of participants and will have your team buzzing for months to come!
Most importantly though is how working together to create a cohesive beat with their drums will help them understand more about working together at the office to create a cohesive and effective team. To make the music work they must communicate, follow instructions while still being creative, and make their mark individually while working within the team; all important aspects of a well functioning company team too.
Through this team building activity, they’ll also vividly see that there is no music without the group, and each member’s performance affects the group as a whole; sounds just like how things work at the office. The negatives and positives of working as a team are much more tangible and immediate through music though. This provides your participants with a concrete understanding of teamwork and unity that they can easily transfer to their working relationships back at the company. Plus, it’s a lot of fun banging those drums!
To give your team the opportunity to participate in Jungle Drums just ring 1 300 267 738. We’ll provide the instruments, and make all the necessary arrangements, all you need to do is to gather your team and enjoy!
Kayaking, A Fun, Relaxing and Effective Team Building Activity
December 16, 2008
Kayaking is a very fun sport, and a really effective team building activity too! It is simply impossible to paddle a double kayak without both members working closely together, and as a result, this makes Kayaking a great way to help your staff learn the importance of team work.
In addition, Kayaking creates opportunities for team bonding, which is another essential piece of forming a strong team. As your team begins to see the importance of team work and bonding through this unique team building activity, they’ll take these experiences and skills back to the office which in turn will help productivity and the functioning of the company in general.
But, one of the best things of all about kayaking is how enjoyable it is. Everyone will be able to get out and into the water. They’ll enjoy how the boat moves through the water and, no one has to have any experience kayaking at all to make kayaking a great team building activity.
To schedule a Kayaking team building activity for your staff just ring 1 300 267 738; we’ll bring the boats and everything else you’ll need to have an awesome day on the water!

How Do You Know Which Team Building Activity Would Be Best for Your Team?
December 2, 2008
When you’re getting ready to organise a team building event, it may not always be easy to know which activities to include and, most importantly, which would benefit your team the most. But, when you’re working with an experienced team building facilitator from a reputable company, this decision is a lot easier.
The biggest thing that a team building facilitator can do for you is listen to you. This will enable her/him to understand the needs of your company and your team, and then help you choose which event(s) you want to include as part of your team building program.
Support from a team building facilitator in and of itself makes the decision making process a lot easier. But, it’s also important for you to have a good grasp on the outcomes that you’re looking for from whichever team building activity you choose. Does your team need help with communication, or maybe their in a rut creatively, whatever it is, understanding where your team is at and where they need to get to is essential in selecting the right team building activity.
You’ll also want to make sure you know who will be participating, if your group is small or large, are you thinking your team would like an outdoor or indoor event; but again, a good team building facilitator will also ask all the necessary questions and communicate clearly with you to help you make this decision too.
So, in the end, regardless of all the preparation and research you do, selecting an experienced team building facilitator is essential in helping you find the best team building activity to suit the needs of your company and your staff.

What to Look for When Hiring a Team Building Facilitator
September 27, 2008
When scheduling a team building event for your team, always make sure that you’re working with a quality team building facilitator and company. But, how do you know what you’re getting if you haven’t worked with the event company before? Here are some things to look for when interviewing a team building facilitator and/or company to help organise your event.
The facilitator has experience customising events
Hiring a team building facilitator that makes customising events for her/his clients a priority is essential. No two teams are alike and every team building event should be as unique as each team that participates in them so that each individual will get as much out of the event as possible.
Make sure the price includes everything you’ll need
When working with a facilitator, she/ he should be able to anticipate the needs of the team building activity and be able to make sure that everything you’re going to need is included in the price, and that you are clear on any additional expenditures you’ll need to incur to put on the event.
Ask about alternatives for those that can’t (or won’t) participate
While it is important to encourage all of the staff to participate, there may be someone that either can’t or simply won’t, and there needs to be alternative activities available in case this situation comes up.
Inquire about the facilitator’s experience and ability to accommodate disabled participants
In many offices there are people that will enjoy participating in team building activities but are in need of some type of assistance to do so. Make sure that the team building facilitator you hire has experience working with and accommodating those who may need additional support.
If you’re interested in organising a team building event, call 1 300 267 738. We have all these things and more to offer our clients, and we guarantee you’ll be satisfied by any team building event we put on for you!
Q: Can Team Building Events be Fun or Do They Have to Be Technical and Boring?
September 25, 2008
A: Actually, an essential aspect of team building events is that your staff has a fun and enjoyable time. After all, it’s common knowledge that people learn better and more easily when they’re having fun.
Also, the excitement your team feels about a team building event enables team bonding to occur. Strong team bonds are based upon positive, shared activities and memories. If the team building event was uneventful and blah, it would be hard for team members to be able to enhance their relationships through these events. However, when the event is fun your team members will have the opportunity to see positive qualities and commonalities about each other they hadn’t noticed before, leading to stronger and more solid team bonds.
It is also important for team building events to be fun so that your employees will look forward to continued team development. Otherwise, the next time you announce a staff development or team building day, you’re going to see a lot of unhappy faces.
If you don’t want to waste your time with boring team building activities and only want to host the most enjoyable and effective events, just call 1 300 267 738; you’re team building event will be guaranteed to be fun and successful!
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!
