Team Building

[lolawasashowgirl]

Experts of Mumsnet (which means all of you obvs!) I have volunteered to come up with a fun team building exercise for my team meeting next week. Any suggestions for a non cringey activity that won't make me look like a n*b?!

How many people and how much time for the exercise?

Does it need to be done in a meeting room or can it be outside? How long have you been given??

I cannot help as I consider such things not to be fun.

Thanks for even showing an interest - I know such exercises are widely despised with good reason! I think I have about 30 mins in a meeting room - sorry for the previous lack of detail!

If you have a lot of people, try a bingo - create the cards with fairly simple criteria (see below) and people need to speed network with everyone else to find facts about people to cross all items to achieve bingo.

Card suggestions:

Has been to Egypt
Has green eyes
Favourite cuisine is Mexican
Speaks French
Likes scuba diving
Has a cat

Etc

announce to them that XXX the idiot boss has asked you to do this but you realise it is hell on earth and so are ignoring the request. They need to fake it whilst you get the coffees in

In the past, I thought the raft game was almost fun - split into teams, large white piece of paper on the floor per team, whole team has to stand in the paper, each round the paper is folded in half. Prize for the team who lasts longest. Obvs now I’d be the one getting the coffees in ...

Strip poker is always fun.

Yes but because I am arsey and don't want to team build I would question the morality of playing with food whilst other people starve

June has a gluten allergy and can't touch spaghetti

Jo has lost 6 stone on weightwatchers and cant touch a jelly baby

Everyone would then then agree and not do it
