5 types of creative activities to boost your team culture
The advantages of team bonding events are incalculable, so it’s no surprise they became popular last time. It is especially important that they develop communication and trust between employees.
Teams lacking communication skills have difficulties while doing group tasks and show a lower level of creativity. An urgent team-building activity is needed here! Unarthodox Element is here to help you with 5 creative ideas for team outings to break the ice.
Pottery Class
We know you've wanted to try your hand at pottery since you first saw the movie "Ghost." Even if your co-workers aren't big fans of melodramas, they will enjoy the experience of a team-bonding pottery class anyway. Co-learning new skills in a relaxed atmosphere will definitely create a shift in corporate culture.
Cooking Together
Do you work in a team with no common interests? Then a cooking evening followed by dinner as a corporate outing is exactly what the doctor ordered! After all, everyone loves to eat delicious food, right? Good meals will relax co-workers, so the conversation at the table is sure to be lively.
Candle Making
The candle making experience is not your typical team-building activity. Gathered in a cozy, aromatic studio, with a glass of wine in hand, passionate about a common cause, colleagues turn into friends. Smells like team spirit!
Karaoke
If your colleagues are all music lovers, don’t hurry to buy concert tickets for your team. During the performance, you won’t be able to interact, so better go to karaoke! Singing along always makes people closer. Discussions about music won’t stop until the end of the evening.
Who said adults should’t enjoy games? Playing helps to relieve stress, boost your creativity, and have fun. One of the main game functions is communication; nothing can break ice better than a play.
We recommend you attend “Picture This” at Unartodox — it’s an unforgettable experience for a team outing in NYC, making your co-workers leave their shells behind. This word-guessing game show fosters effective communication, develops social, cognitive, critical thinking skills, relieves stress, improves brain function. Participants have to illustrate a secret word by the use of paint, markers, clay, charcoal, pencils, random objects, body movement, and theatrical improvisation in order to have their team guess the word.
By the way, it’s also available as a corporate virtual event. The internet connection is all you need for this fun team activity everyone will enjoy.
