Outdoor Team Building
Outdoor team buidling excites many people. They love the sun, the sea and the sand. Even if it is just a park, it’s a refreshing change to the monitor and the cubical that they face for long hours everyday at work. The air is fresher and the sight of the sky just relaxes them.
Organising your team building event outdoors means you will have more interesting venues to choose from other than hotel or resort ballrooms. You can go to the beach, the parks or even the bird park or the zoo! There are also some team building games that are just more interesting to play outdoors.
Like the combat team buidling game that we have. When you play it indoors, it is still fun, but it is just different. The feeling of hiding in a bush and seeing your colleague from another team run past you and shooting them from behind, it’s just different from hiding behind a table and shooting someone who is behind a cubical.
Or our änergy unite series (modified ball games) which is immensely popular at beaches and parks. The feeling of playing it on sand or grass just makes the team building session different from playing it on carpet or hard floor.
Maybe I’m biased. Personally, I would prefer outdoor team buidling if I’m attending a team building session. The work out will do many Singaporeans good. In fact it willl do many of the participants from all over the world a favor - it helps them burn some calories. Most of us today spend many hours of our working time sitting on a chair and we work long hours. Doing team building outdoors is definitely a good change.
On the other hand, we usually do not encourage a full day of very active outdoor team building games, we usually recommend a mixture of indoor and outdoor team buiding games or at least a mix of outdoor non-physical games like the team builder (by the way builder can be played both indoors and outdoors) with another active game, like the änergy synergy race (sentosa). In this way, we are catering to the preferences of people who prefer indoors, as well as the outdoor lovers.
Having a good mix of indoor and outdoor team building programs also ensure that the people do not tire themselves so much that they go on medical leave for the next two days. =)
