Team building activities are a great way to end the workday and get everyone excited about starting their next workday. We’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite team-building activities that will have your team laughing, building relationships, and having fun while also strengthening your company culture.

#1 Ice-Breakers

Icebreakers are a great way to get to know each other and build relationships. They can also be used to build trust, rapport, and teamwork.

Icebreakers should be fun and engaging so that the participants will enjoy them, but they should not last too long (if at all). The icebreakers are done when everyone has had enough of talking about work-related things or when they run out of ideas on how to spend their time together as part of the team-building exercise.

#2 Volunteer Together As A Group

Volunteering is a great way to connect with your coworkers and build team spirit, but it can also be an opportunity for you to gain more insight into the organization. You can volunteer for causes that are important to you or even ones that need help. 

For example, if you’re passionate about animal rights, consider volunteering at an animal shelter or rescue organization in your area. Or maybe there’s something else going on in the community (like rebuilding after natural disasters) that needs assistance? That’s where volunteering comes in handy—you’ll get firsthand experience working with others on an ongoing basis and will have new skill sets from which to draw when it comes time for promotions within the company or moving up into management roles later down the road!

#3 Participate In Community Events

  • Participate in community events.
  • Give back to the community by volunteering, participating in charities, or helping out at a local school or library.
  • Build a sense of community by getting to know members of your team and learning how they help make things happen around you.

#4 Host An Event At Your Office

Hosting an event at your office is a great way to strengthen your culture and get everyone on the same page. It’s also great for building camaraderie as you work together through the process of planning and hosting the event, which can be challenging for some people.

Hosting an event is simple: just pick a date, time, and location (and make sure it’s somewhere accessible by car), then invite everyone who needs to attend so they know where they’re going! When planning an event like this one I recommend using Google Maps because it will help keep things organized while still being flexible enough that nothing gets lost in translation when someone doesn’t show up—or shows up late due to traffic or other factors outside their control.”

#5 Gamify With Technology

Gamification uses game design elements to motivate people, increase productivity, and improve customer engagement. It’s a fun way for you to engage your team with a little extra motivation.

Gamified experiences can be used as part of an employee onboarding process and can help new hires feel at home in their new role by providing them with points or badges for completing certain tasks. A good example of this is the “best dressed” badge that Google uses on its website—when someone shows up for work wearing clothes that fit well and look stylish, they receive a point! These kinds of rewards are great ways for employees who might feel marginalized at work due to their age or gender identity (or lack thereof)

#6 Have Lunch Off-Site

If you have the budget, this is a great way to get away from your work environment and spend some time together. You can choose from a variety of restaurants in your area or go off-campus for lunch if you’re at one of our partner universities. We recommend finding somewhere that offers good food at reasonable prices but also has an atmosphere that allows people to socialize while they eat. This can be done by inviting friends or coworkers out with you!

#7 Encourage Mentorship

Mentoring is a great way to learn from others, especially if you’re in a position where you can benefit from their experience. The mentee (the person being mentored) learns from their mentor and gains confidence in themselves and their abilities, while the mentor gets to see how much they’ve grown and can apply this knowledge to future situations.

Mentoring also helps with career development because it demonstrates that people are willing to help each other out when needed; this reinforces cultural norms of trustworthiness, openness, and transparency within your team or company as well as throughout its membership base as a whole.

#8 Showcase Your Employees’ Passions

  • Encourage your employees to share their passions.
  • Showcase the employee’s passion in a way that is fun for everyone.

For example, if an employee has a passion for collecting baseball cards and has some rare ones, you could create a Baseball Card Museum in your office space where employees can go and show off their collection. You could also organize an annual card-collecting contest with prizes for the top participants.

#9 Take A Personality Assessment Test Together

  • Take a personality assessment test together.
  • Use the results to improve your teamwork and communication. You can also use it to improve your leadership skills, or even figure out how you work best with others on a team!

#10 Celebrate Employee Success Regularly And Transparently

Celebrate success. Celebrating employee success is the best way to build your company culture, and it can be done in a variety of ways:

  • Give out bonuses based on performance metrics. This can be an additional incentive for employees, or it could be used as recognition for all employees who have performed well over the course of the year.
  • Have fun with team-building activities that promote transparency and inclusion among teammates who may not have worked together before coming into your company (or even know each other). For example, if you’re going on a retreat together, give everyone an opportunity to talk about their experience before sharing them with everyone else during lunch or dinner time!

Team Building Activities Are A Fun Way To Get To Know Your Coworkers Better.

Team building activities are a fun way to get to know your coworkers better. They can help you get to know each other, understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and understand what motivates them.

When it comes down to it, team building can be as simple or as elaborate as you want it to be! If your group is short on time but wants something that will last longer than one night (or weekend), try this:

  • Have everyone bring their favorite movie snacks together for some popcorn-making fun!
  • Play some games like charades or Taboo together where everyone gets creative with their own words/characters based on what they saw in the film.

Conclusion

Fuel your team’s collective spirit with these 10 team-building activities. They’re fun and entertaining, sure, but also educational and rewarding—and they’re easy to scale for office parties or large gatherings. There are so many ways to build a strong team culture and foster collaboration. We hope these activities will help you get started!
