Teambuilding Acitivities

 
 

Human Knot

  • Team groups stand in a tight circle
  • Each team member crosses their arms at the elbows, and grasps the hand of 2 other teammates, but NOT the teammates directly beside them.
  • The team has to “untangle” themselves to form a proper circle

At the end of the activity, members may be either facing inwards, or outwards. This is a race! Points allotted according to the rank of your finish.

 

 

Shoulder-to-Shoulder Ball Transporter

  • Teams of 2 have to transport a tennis ball from one side of the gym to the other.
  • Tennis ball must be wedged between teammates’ shoulders.
  • Teams with odd numbers of members will have one member go twice.
  • There will be 2 heats of 8 teams, with the top 2 teams from each heat advancing to the final.

If the ball is dropped, that pair of teammates must start over.

 

 

 

The Lovin’ Spoonful

  • Each team member has to carry a tennis ball balanced in spoon across an obstacle course.
  • Obstacles include: one full turn around a pylon, over a bench, another full turn around a pylon, touch the wall and back to beginning, with obstacles in reverse order and walking backwards.

If the ball is dropped in during the first half, team member has to start over. If the ball is dropped in the second half, the team member has to restart from the wall.
