Team building is a process of developing a team that works cohesively to achieve a common goal. The main objective of team building activities is to create a robust team by fostering a deep connection. Developing such bonds through fun activities can help businesses and organizations in multiple ways. These benefits include better communication, employee collaboration, planning skills, etc.
Outdoor team building activities are ideal to bring out the inner child in your employees. They are most likely to expose the childish personality in your team members. For example, if you plan to play cricket with your team and an employee gets out on the first ball, they will most probably say something like, “Aye woh trial ball tha” (Hey, that was a trial ball). So, want to see that side of your employees while also strengthening your team? Check the 3 best games that can help you with that!

Can your team build the next great city? The focus behind this game is to develop a giant model city that relies on creativity, planning, and discipline. Your employees need to create a prototype for their city, which must maintain uniformity across roads, rivers, and zones. This activity shall be evaluated as per their cross-team collaboration.
Food Stock Exchange
Food stock exchange is a cooking competition where every team works together and presents a 3-course meal to the judges. However, you will be supplied with limited ingredients, hence it must be negotiated, bartered, and earned. That is what makes this challenge so much fun.
And of course, there is limited time to finish the courses. There is maneuvering, running around, deep negotiations and lots of aroma and cooking. There are teams that are not willing to barter and then there are teams that do not know where to start. There is a lot of yelling, selling and well, a lot of good food. Invite the other employees as guests to purchase your food with virtual money and have the teams that make the most money with the best quality, hygiene and skill win!
