An Analysis On Indoor Team Building Activities

By Elena McDowell


Failures to meet deadlines, inefficient operations and delivery of inferior work are factors that results from lack of teamwork. In as much as this is the case, people in many working environments still overlook the aspect of team building in their work establishments. The inclusion of indoor team building activities, however, can be a fun way to bring different workers together, forge a new relationship, discuss different business ideas, discuss on how to work together for the success of a company or introducing a new personnel to the working group.

Even with that well said, companies, organizations and small and big business establishments still ignore the concept of coming together as a team. It is quite an annoyance never mind about your colleague in the workplace and yet you work in the same setting. This is not because of pride, but a problem from the administration side.

It is time to change things. You need to break lose from the norms of just working and going home after work without saying hello to your colleague in the next office. It is time to get together, open your heart and accept new people in your life, build a working relationship and a long lasting friendship.

Just as you played indoor games in school, you can play them in office, boardroom or the seminar room too. This may seem quite unusual and you may see it as awkward, time wasting and boring. Do not be too workaholic though, try them and you will realize that you not only miss the important part of it but also the fun that comes along with.

Playing Hometowns game is one great factor to consider. Here, you place a map of the United States of America or of the location you are in, allow every member in the group, and indicate where they came from. Allow each member in the group to talk about him or herself, especially how they ended up in their current location.

Another perfect group bonding activity is a game by the name Knot. Here, the group members stand form a big circle, place their right hand in the center to form a knot and the other hand to hold the partner next to them. Ask the members in the group to untie the knot without breaking and you could trying this with the other hand as well and as many times as the team is willing to go.

Just imagine about the people in your company that you have not met before and would like to know about. You are not sure about going out for a trip or a company lunch or outing where you get to know one another. Taking part in such tasks therefore, marks the start of getting to know those people you have always wanted to meet.

Balloon Keep Up is among indoor team building activities that teach how to solve problems through thinking. Of course, you have to think how you are going to stand to keep the balloon up without falling it. You definitely will need creative thinking to win this game, and the same applies when it comes to solving problems.
