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.
