Companies held outings or create team-building games to build solidarity and provoke interaction between employees. The activities that aim to strengthen team-building must provide insight, education, and fun at the same time. These activities help a team to know their fellow members well through thinking, working, problem-solving, and having fun altogether.
You can try some of the team-building games below to create a fun interaction among employees:
This game might look simple, but it can give a lot of benefits to employees. At first, the employees make a group. Then, prepare a few spaghetti sticks, pita, and marshmallows. The task is to make one of the longest or tallest structures from the supplied material. It requires teamwork to strategize, execute, and produce joint work. Besides increasing togetherness, this game also helps the company to see the potential skill of each employee. It will show you which employees that have the potential as leaders, executors, or concept makers.
Escape room game is often used as a practice to build teamwork. It gives challenges to several teams who are “locked” in a room. They have to solve hidden puzzles and clues to get the key and finally escape from the room. Their attempts to solve the puzzles and clues are limited by time. The team that can escape before the time limit is the winner. This game will train the employees’ leadership skills, teamwork, logic, and patience.
This game requires 3-5 people in a group. Each group will be given a raw egg. Prepare tools such as tape, straw, cardboard, or rubber. They have to make an object to protect the egg that is going to be dropped. They were only given 15 to 30 minutes to finish the task. After that, the egg will be dropped from a high place into the object. See if the egg is cracked or not. Playing this will create good cooperation among people in a group when trying to solve a problem.
TikTok application is very popular lately. Some news reported the employees engaging in the TikTok challenge, like dancing together at the office. It is used as a game to build solidarity among employees. They can make TikTok content as creative as possible. Besides, it can be their amusement when they are too tired at work.
Instead of team-building games, the alternative solution is to try to have a day for employees to do sports together. Survey employees’ interest in the sport. Then, try to hold several types of sports activities such as badminton, futsal, or volleyball. Create each team from different divisions. It will create solidarity among employees, divert their boredom at work, and socialize with other divisions in a relaxed atmosphere.
