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!
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!

Within their plan they’ll need to focus on key points including marketing, customer service, operational systems, staff roles, and profit forecasts. Then when the time is up, they’ll present their concept to the judges for evaluation.

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!
