Why? Because in the corporate Olympics, cooperation and teamwork are the most important things. The participants of the game must efficiently exchange information, use the potential of each member and jointly strive to win in the chosen sport discipline. It can be football, volleyball or running - whatever your team likes.

Integration exercise games on the pitch

Staying on the sports topic - sometimes you don't have to invent corporate Olympic Games to integrate the team well. Sometimes choosing the simplest, traditional solution is the best. The bull's-eye is a football match - or (if we want to go a step further) an employee football tournament. Football It is not without reason that it is considered the most popular sport in the world.

How to prepare movement games for adults?

When preparing proposals for physical games, it is worth informing guests about the need to bring appropriate clothing when inviting guests to a company event. And although not all integration games require sports clothes, clothes must be comfortable. And the participants of the game must feel comfortable in them and be able to make unrestricted movements. Movement games for adults must also be selected so as not to expose employees to excessive effort. For example, individual competitions at the company's Olympics should be adjusted so that everyone can safely complete them. The point is that the purpose of integration games is primarily integration, entertainment and team building, and only at the very end the development of physical fitness.

When preparing integration games, we should already know a lot about the group of people for whom we do it. Not only the number of participants is important, but also their average age and what they more or less do on a daily basis. Coaches who organize integration games should also know whether the individual people have known each other for a long time or whether it is a completely new team.

W przypadku nieznających się osób zadaniem uczestników zabawy będzie przede wszystkim wzajemne poznanie. Chodzi o to, by jak najwięcej dowiedzieć się o sobie nawzajem i zapamiętać innych uczestników spotkania. Zabawa członków zespołu z wieloletnim doświadczeniem może być już na zupełnie innym poziomie. Dla nich zabawy ruchowe dla dorosłych mogą być nieco inne. Można im na przykład zaproponować współzawodnictwo albo aktywności wyzwalające adrenalinę, jak choćby park linowy, paintball, rajd off road  albo lot balonem.

Simple integration game examples

Gordian knot

For adults, physical games may initially seem less attractive than, for example, bartending workshops, tasting local craft specialties or barista shows. But if we start physical games for adults with simple and fun competitions, we will certainly get any party going. An example of such an ice-breaking exercise game could be solving the Gordian knot together.

The game involves participants standing in a circle and then moving forward with their eyes closed and their arms stretched out in front of them. When they feel another person's hand, they grab it and hold it. And they continue to look for another person to catch with their other hand. Each person must have both hands occupied. Then everyone opens their eyes. Solving the Gordian knot involves placing all participants in one row, but in such a way that no one lets go of their colleagues' hands.

Life raft

For this great fun we will only need a simple blanket. We put as many players on it as possible. One blanket is one life raft. The task is to turn the blanket over, but in such a way that no player "falls out" of our raft. The team that does it the fastest wins.

As you can see, such integration games can be organized virtually anywhere. They will prove themselves both in the training room and outdoors. For example, in some interesting conference facility in the mountainswith its own garden for corporate events. Such integration games will significantly reduce the distance between group members. It will be easier for them to break through and cooperate by performing subsequent tasks. In a team it is so that the smaller the mutual distance, the easier it will be to get along and achieve common goals. Integration games should also be introduced as a break in intensive training.

Integration exercise games as an important element of integration

Integration is an essential element of the functioning of every company. Without the integration of employees, it is impossible to achieve maximum results and achieve spectacular successes on the market. Integration physical games are conducive to productivity, creativity and effective work. Thanks to them, participants will have a nice time in each other's company and strengthen relationships with each other.

A bit of exercise will create endorphins, which are needed to forget about work and duties for a while. Well done integration brings a lot of benefits. Improving relations between employees, creating a relaxed atmosphere, increasing motivation, reducing stress related to the job, improving communication in the team and much, much more.

Czy da się zorganizować zabawy integracyjne w miejscu pracy?

Zabawy integracyjne w miejscu pracy raczej się nie zdarzają. Chyba że jest to konkretne szkolenie albo zaplanowany luźny dzień w pracy. Na przykład może to być spotkanie z psychologiem biznesu albo trening antystresowy dla zespołu po ciężkim okresie.

Duże napięcie albo wymiana kadry pracowniczej to też sytuacje, kiedy nawet w miejscu pracy szefowie organizują corporate integration events. Ich celem jest wtedy redukcja stresu, a także wzmocnienie zespołu. Faktycznie jednak bardzo rzadko w miejscu pracy organizuje się zabawy ruchowe dla dorosłych.

Praca jest miejscem, gdzie wszyscy pełnią określone funkcje i tam akurat zwykle nikt nie chce wychodzić z dotychczasowych ról. Dlatego idealnym miejscem na zajęcia integracyjne jest oddalony od miejsca pracy i zamieszkania obiekt szkoleniowy.

Where for an integration trip? Managers ask themselves this question. Preferably in the mountains - the wonderful surroundings will distract employees from everyday life and allow them to focus on team integration.
