Team building activity aims to enhance camaraderie and create a healthier working environment among employees. Often, it is an avenue used to address interpersonal issues within the team. If the team is just new, team building activity aims to know each employee better, learn about each other’s strength and weaknesses, and it also aims to break down the walls among employees.

There are a lot of team building activities that have been invented to cater the different objectives each team has. To date, there are four main types of team building activities that include communication activities, problem solving and decision-making activities, adaptability and planning activities and activities that focus on building trust.

Most team building activities are fun and challenging at the same. One of the most common activities is two truths and a lie. In this game, each employee needs to prepare two truthful information about his/herself and one false information about his/herself. He/she will then say the truths and lie to his/her team and any of the members will need to determine which is a lie.

Some of the team building activities are played outdoors and require physical strength. There are also team building venues that offers team building activities.

This also involves team coordination since being encapsulated in a bubble soccer suit is not an easy task. Lastly, this will surely enhance team bonding and communication as everyone will need to work to achieve their common goal.
