Who should do a team activity


The best thing about team activities is that they’re for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you work for a large corporation or a small local business, the benefits for team building activities are vast. They’re really helpful for improving communication and boosting morale. It of course depends on what type of activity you’re doing with your team, but if it involves pairing off or being split into groups, people will have to communicate with one another and work together to solve problems. Another common benefit for team activities is that they offer stress relief. Planning a fun day out, away from computers, and the monotony of everyday work, can really help your team avoid burnout and contribute to a healthier work environment. You’ll create a positive workplace culture where your employees feel more engaged and part of a team. Plus, everyone loves a shared experience and when planned well, your team will talk about your team activity day for weeks and months to come.


Activity Categories For Team Building


There are so many different types of corporate team activities to choose from. Whether you’re interested in planning an entire day out, participating in team building exercises or want to get the team together after work for drinks and crazy golf, you’ll be able to find something your team will really enjoy. Here are some of the best activity categories we’ve come across for corporate team building.


Creative


If you want to get creative with your team, there are lots of team activities you can do together. From sip and paint nights to life drawing classes, venues often host special events or can arrange them for your team. You can also find venues that offer seasonal workshops like wreath-making during Christmas. The best thing to do is speak with a venue to see if it’s possible to set up a creative team activity. They’ll be able to let you know if they work with any suppliers or companies that organise them.


Problem Solving


Another great option for team building are problem solving activities. There are lots of companies that offer quizzes or scavenger hunts that can be customised for your company. It’s a great way to get your team involved and working together. Split everyone up into teams, creating groups of people who may not work together usually.


Physical


For the ultimate team activity, head outdoors and get physically active! You can go white water rafting, participate in a ropes course, learn how to surf or paddle board, or go for a hike. For something a bit more lowkey, why not throw a sports day in the local park and then head to a pub afterwards for drinks? Getting physically active will challenge your team to work together, communicate, and build trust and relationships.


Activity Bars


One of the most common team activity categories is the activity bar. These days you can find a tonne of bars that also offer some really fun games for you to play while you’re there. Heading to an activity bar after work is a great way to let some steam off, reduce stress, and get your team together in an informal setting. Your team can engage in some friendly competition while they try their hand at everything from crazy golf to virtual clay shooting to ping pong to shuffleboard and everything in between.


Immersive Experiences


There are loads of immersive experiences popping up these days. You often get to dress up, play a part, and interact with actors throughout your evening. These themed nights are an excellent shared experience.


Featured Activities


There are so many incredible team activity venues to choose from on VenueScanner. Here are a couple of our favourites:


You’ve never experienced how amazing bingo can be until you visit Hijingo in London. The multi-sensory bingo experience combines state-of-the-art lighting and AV to provide your team with a fully immersive experience and tonnes of great prizes.


For a retro evening, why not check out NQ64 Bars, a really cool venue with multiple locations across the UK. You can spend hours playing the best childhood throwback games including Mario Kart, Pac Man, and more.


If your company is based in Manchester and you want to play some crazy golf with the whole team, Treetop Adventure Golf is a great shout. They have two indoor 18-hole courses and you can split your team into groups and crown the champion at the end of the evening.


Another fan favourite in Manchester is The Crystal Maze, which is the most perfect corporate team building activity. Split your group into smaller teams and see who completes The Maze the quickest.


Combine problem solving with team work at Escape Live in Birmingham. With a handful of different themed escape rooms, your team can venture into a fully immersive world and crack codes, solve puzzles and work together to unlock the room and escape.


If you love the idea of an immersive experience, your team will be talking about their time at Alcotraz in Liverpool for months. Everyone will rock an orange jumpsuit, smuggle in their drinks, and try to stay out of the warden's way. You’ll interact with actors and really get involved in the whole show.

FAQs


How many people can participate in a team activity?


It doesn’t matter how large or small your group is! You can find a team activity for everyone to participate in. Your choices may decrease if you have over 100 people, but many venues do offer exclusive hire or you can just be creative about how you plan your team activity day.


Is it possible to find a venue first and then book a team activity afterwards?


Many venues work with suppliers that can set up a team activity for you, so make sure to ask during the enquiry process if you can add things on. You may fall in love with a pub, restaurant, or events hall that’s not an activity bar. Don’t worry though! You can have someone come in to do a workshop if you coordinate with the venue.


How much does a team activity day cost?


You can plan corporate team activities no matter your budget. Many venues offer minimum spends that can really cut the cost of a day out. Alternatively, if you’re dealing with a very small budget, you could always plan a sports day in a local park and then find a venue with a low minimum spend nearby for drinks afterwards.


Now that you’ve learned about team activities and corporate team building activities, it’s time to start planning. By planning a corporate event that promotes team building, you’re setting your company up for success. Your team will come away from their team activity day with new relationships, a shared experience, and less overall stress. Book your team activity today!
