Examples of games for team building
Game number 1. Collect the emblem.
Print on your regular sheet the logo of your company, only in colour. Then cut it into several pieces. Each team must collect their logo faster than the other.
Game number 2. A game with words.
Each employee receives a questionnaire, which contains abbreviations, the meaning of which is known only to the leaders. Everyone who has a questionnaire has to add a line from a song or a poem to the abbreviations.
Game number 3. Create advertising.
Teams are given 15 minutes to come up with an unusual and bright advertisement for your company. The team that will create the most fun and memorable advertising will win.
