An interesting idea for team games during bad weather is a trip to the VR club, i.e. a virtual reality salon. And for fans of the 90s and early 2000s, it is worth going to the museum of old computer games, where you can play slot machines or Pegasus. Coming back to the past usually brings up a lot of smiles and memories that integrate the group very much, especially if most people are of a similar age.
Classic team games
When it is raining outside or it is winter, but with slush rather than snow, we are forced to conduct team games in closed rooms. If we do not have free funds for larger exits or workshops - the company office may also be a great place for integration. You only need to use a little imagination. Team play in the office can also be interesting and inventive. You can play, for example, in:
- a classic mafia in which someone is a policeman, someone else is a mafia boss, and the rest are ordinary citizens. You can also diversify this game and add new characters to make the game even more intriguing.
- maze of frustration, a game of group imagining that the team has to create a maze or board game with obstacles typical of your office. What would these obstacles be? (bad coffee, secretary late for work, lack of parking spaces etc.).
- classic puns that make a lot of laughter
- a game set in the realities of an office - everyone must provide at least one fact about the office, unknown to the others. You can visit office spaces in advance, including those that are not normally accessible, such as warehouses or basements. Then everyone prepares a question, such as: What's in the cupboard under the desk at the end of the warehouse? The others are asked to give the correct answer.
These are just some of the many ideas for team play in the office. It is worth asking team members to bring interesting board games with them and use them for integration. It is also worth carrying out team games under the windows of the trainer or coach from the outside, which will additionally ensure that team games in the office will not be boring.
Ideas for unusual team games
Above we have listed classic team games that can be carried out in the office without much effort or using your imagination. A classic is a classic - it will always work. However, if you want the integration to be remembered for longer and effectively connect your team, try to organize games and activities that are not the most typical. They may seem weird and crazy at first, but it is such team games that most influence the integration of the whole team.
One of the unique ideas of team building in practice is to build a passage from one end of the office to the other using things found in the office, so that the participants do not touch the floor. Such a game teaches, above all, good communication and checks the cooperation between your team members. Another team building game is a maze. Participants must "build" the outlines of the maze as a team using adhesive tape on the ground, and then walk through it with their eyes closed, without touching the edges.
Another unusual idea is a joint treasure hunt, stalking or transforming the office into an escape room. It is worth dividing the team into two groups, each of which in one room creates its own scenario for the other team. A prize will await the winning group, which will increase the efforts of the participants to do the task.
