Trust falls can be painful, and personality quizzes are a thing of the past. Today’s companies are looking for team building activities that connect people in more meaningful ways. They want fun and interactive events that help employees improve relationships and morale – in essence, new habits that carry over to the workplace. Before you plan your next event, check out the three best team building activities in Chicago, right now.
Team Challenge
For some companies, teamwork is showing up to meetings on time. If you want to up your game, then the Team Challenge is for you. This team building activity breaks your group into teams of 10-15 people that compete against each other in several different missions. While two groups strategize how to shoot down towers of red party cups, other groups are seeing who can build the best structure out of marshmallows. Sound a little bit crazy? It is; but most of all it combines fun and competition, making the Team Challenge one of the best team building activities in Chicago.
Great “Amazing Race” Chicago
If interactive competitions are high on your list, then the Great “Amazing Race” Chicago certainly qualifies. This scavenger hunt-style team building event splits your group into teams to look for various items throughout the city. The first team to find all of the items and reach the final destination wins. The Great “Amazing Race” combines competition with sightseeing throughout Chicago (or the suburbs), making it one of the best team building activities for enhancing relationships, improving morale, and building camaraderie and goodwill.
Mousetrap Race Car Challenge
What makes the Mousetrap Race Car Challenge one of the best team building activities in Chicago? The three C’s: communication, creativity and competition. The Mousetrap Race Car Challenge challenges your employees to work together on a race car design that will travel the furthest distance. Once your group is divided into teams, each team designs and builds their own race car to compete in a distance competition against the other teams. You can even create awards for most unique design, best car name, and other fun achievements.
