Casual and informal teams will experience physically simple but mentally stimulating activities which can be played on the beach, in the garden or in the conference room. Participants will learn about each other, take turns leading their teams and strengthen their mental, creative and strategic skills in these lively, fun and hugely enjoyable team exercises.
- To improve communication, delegation and work flow within the team
- To improve trust, planning and leadership skills
- To get to know each other and have a fun and enjoyable time.
- To work on cooperation and understanding yourself, your colleagues and your team
- To consider ways in which these skills can be translated into a work environment
These activities build the fundamentals of a successful team: trust, mutual respect and awareness. Games can be tailor-made to focus on specific learning objectives, company goals or a meeting theme. We work strongly on developing leadership personalities and interpersonal skills such as co-operation, communication, planning, leadership, strategy skills, win-win negotiation and positive thinking.
Teams go through a number of games and collect points for their performance in each game with the highest score awarded to the best team. After the last game the scores are added up by the lead facilitator during the event de-brief and the team with the most points is announced and awarded with a prize.
Outdoor With Fun games are conducted in a team versus team format in which team rotate through the various games which are usually competitive sometime cooperative, some physical others more mentally challenging but each activity requires full participation of everyone in the team. The event starts with a couple of ice-breakers.
Below are two example challenge instructions as provided to the teams during the activity:
Minefield
“The goal of this game is to cross the minefield with the whole team first. Participants go from one side of the minefield to the other without talking and being blasted away by the mines. The minefield consists of a grid of 6 by 9 squares. One by one the team must cross safely, learning the correct route as they go.”
Inventory Transfer
“The aim of this game is to move a pyramid of different sized foam blocks from one place to another. The challenge is to move the blocks one by one between only three places without ever placing a block on a smaller sized block.”
Games can be selected based on objectives such as: Cooperation, Communication, Creativity, Planning, Organisation, Leadership, Negotiation, Goal setting, Ice breaking, Time keeping, Win-win, Motivation, Positive thinking, Trust, Strategy.

Insurance and instructor supervision at all times is an important safety factor, and in the event of an emergency of team member withdrawal, transport and medical backup will be standing by.
The event briefing and debrief takes place at the activity location. The group is separated into teams and introduced to their facilitators, then the lead facilitator gives an introduction of the event including (safety) instructions and objectives for the activity.
During the debrief, the facilitator discusses the event challenges and asks each team questions to assess their performance before announcing the winning team (if applicable).
Briefing and debrief usually take around 15 minutes each but can be extended for more in-depth analysis of team performance.
