Project: Build Your Own Team Building Activity

From the notes: 
There are many types of  tm blding activities & they can be categorized along a sliding scale btwn two extremes, 'fun' or 'developmental'. 
At the 'fun' end of the tm blding scale there are the icebreakers, ropes courses, camping trips, scavenger hunts, & more that are generally used to bond members of new teams or rejuvenate an already estb team. 
At the 'developmental' end of the tm blding scale there are workshops & intensive tm blding exercises that have very specific goals & are typically suited to a group of professionals already focused on addressing certain issues. 
In the middle of the tm blding scale are things like Outward Bound trips, that are adventurous, but still tackle serious objectives. 

Your task is the create your own team building activity, & share it w/ the group. 

First, describe what is the type / function of your work team?  Is it in retail, manufacturing, R & D, etc?  It would be helpful if you named the (imaginary) company. 
Second, explain what stage your work team is in:  is it forming, storming, norming, or performing.  Describe your teams stage a bit. 
Third, develop the team building activity or task for your team. 
Fourth, what was the purpose of the team activity?  Was it a game, a social activity, a communications exercise, an interpersonal skills building activity, etc.
