Useful office materials for this game such as adhesive tape, pencils, straws, plastic objects, paper, newspapers and rubber bands are provided for everyone. The teams now have 15 to 30 minutes to wrap the egg with the office supplies provided so that it does not break when it hits the floor. After the time has elapsed, the egg is dropped from the second or third floor to check whether the \u201cegg rescue system\u201d works.<\/p>\n<p>Objective: The teams learn to coordinate and achieve a great effect with limited resources. A classic teambuilding game.<\/p>\n<h3>2. plogging<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 30-90 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: from two people to unlimited<br \/>\nResources: bin bags, gloves, (grabbing tongs)<\/p>\n<p>Description: Plogging originally meant doing something good while jogging and collecting garbage in nature. Determine an area in nature or the city with the teams and set a fixed duration. Which team has collected the most pieces of garbage (or the most weight) at the end?<\/p>\n<p>Aim: To promote communication within the team and focus on the topic of responsibility<\/p>\n<h3>3. minefield<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 10-30 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: 2 &#8211; 20 participants<br \/>\nResources: various objects and blindfolds<\/p>\n<p>Description: Objects are distributed in an open, traffic-free area. In this team-building game, the participants are blindfolded and have to cross the area from A to B without touching any of the objects. Each blindfolded participant has a sighted partner at their side who gives them verbal instructions. The blindfolded person is not allowed to speak.<br \/>\nAim: To strengthen trust, communication and listening skills<\/p>\n<h3>4. scavenger hunt<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: min. 60 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: from 3<br \/>\nResources: Paper, pens<\/p>\n<p>Description: Divide the team building players into two or more teams. Create a list of fun tasks for each team to complete in the allotted time. Possible tasks are based on the teams having to move around a certain area to complete the tasks. Possible tasks could be: take a creative photo of your team at a bus stop, collect 5 business cards from hairdressers,&#8230; There are no limits to your imagination here. The team that completes the tasks fastest or the most tasks wins!<\/p>\n<p>Aim: Getting to know each other, building networks (if the teams are mixed)<\/p>\n<h3>5. geocaching &#8211; treasure hunt<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 60-180 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: from 3 people<br \/>\nResources: GPS device or cell phone with corresponding app<br \/>\nDescription: Search for a route in the vicinity on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/play\">Geocaching.com<\/a> website, for example. Divide the group into teams and you are ready to go. Which team comes back first and has found the cache? Pay attention to the information on difficulty level and geocache type; multicaches are particularly interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Aim: getting to know each other, cooperation<\/p>\n<h3>6. spider&#8217;s web<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 60-80 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: 5 or more<br \/>\nResources: Ropes, possibly small bells<br \/>\nIn this outdoor team building game, two ropes are stretched between two trees (or poles). One rope is fastened as high as possible, the other close to the ground. This creates a large rectangle. Further ropes are then pulled criss-cross into this rectangle to create a spider&#8217;s web. The holes must be large enough for the team members to climb through without touching the \u201cspider&#8217;s web\u201d. Attach a bell to as many holes as there are team members. The whole team now stands on one side of the spider&#8217;s web. Now all team members must get through the spider&#8217;s web to the other side without touching the spider&#8217;s web. BUT only the marked holes may be used and each hole may only be used once.<\/p>\n<p>Objective: To strengthen trust, cooperation and communication or recognize deficits<\/p>\n<h3>7. perfect square<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 15-30 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: 5-25 people<br \/>\nResources: long rope and blindfolds<br \/>\nOne of the best-known and best team building games. The participants line up in a circle and hold a rope. Now ask all participants to place the rope on the floor and blindfold themselves. Now ask all participants to take 3 steps backwards and swap places with their left neighbor (you decide where the line starts). Now set the task of forming a square with the rope without removing the blindfold. It is best to set an additional time limit of e.g. 15 minutes to make the task more difficult. To make the game even more difficult, you can specify that all but two participants must remain silent<\/p>\n<p>Aim: To promote leadership, trust and communication<\/p>\n<h3>8. Outdoor Open Air Cinema<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 90-180 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: from 2 persons<br \/>\nEquipment: screen, projector, laptop, deckchairs<br \/>\nAn outdoor team building activity to thank your team for a special achievement, for example. Invite your team to an open-air cinema evening and stream a current movie for your team. Provide chilled drinks and a snack and your movie night is guaranteed to be a complete success.<\/p>\n<p>Goal: Recognition, team bonding, communication<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block-text pt4 pb4\" id=\"anker4\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"f6@xl mx-auto\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The 6 best get-to-know-you games<\/h2>\n<h3>1. speed dating<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 6-20 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: Four or more people<br \/>\nTools: none<br \/>\nRules of the game: The participants quickly get together in pairs and introduce themselves very briefly. After the team leader gives a signal, the participants tell each other something about each other for one minute. At the end of the minute, a signal sounds and the participants move on to the next partner. Information is then exchanged for another minute. This is repeated until everyone has spoken to each other once. Topics could be: Best experience in the last week, biggest professional success, hobby &#8230;. Be careful not to include controversial topics such as politics, religion etc. You can use this classic team building game anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Aim: The participants get to know each other personally in order to build trust.<\/p>\n<h3>2. puzzle<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 30-90 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: from four to unlimited<br \/>\nResources: several different puzzles with the same level of difficulty<\/p>\n<p>Description: Divide the players into teams of equal size and give each group a puzzle. The team that completes their puzzle first wins. However, some of the puzzle pieces are mixed up with those of the other teams. Each group must now develop a strategy to get their missing puzzle pieces back &#8211; be it by negotiating, swapping or replacing team members. All decisions must be made jointly within the group.<\/p>\n<p>Objective: To test and strengthen communication, negotiation skills and leadership qualities<\/p>\n<h3>3. card quartet<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 20-60 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: 4 &#8211; 100 participants<br \/>\nResources: Index cards and pens<\/p>\n<p>Description: Divide the group into teams of 6-8 people each. All participants now receive 4 index cards and a pen. On these index cards, the participants write down their name, a distinguishing mark and interesting facts about themselves. Now all the cards of a team are collected and shuffled. In the next step, each person draws a card from the pile and looks for the person from whom the card originates. Now the card holders are asked questions by the card drawers for another 2 minutes. After 4 rounds, all participants in this team building game have their quartet together.<\/p>\n<p>Aim: Getting to know each other and building a network<\/p>\n<h3>4. lies and truths<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: min. 30-80 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: 3-15<br \/>\nResources: Paper and pens<\/p>\n<p>Description: All participants write 2 truths and 1 lie on a piece of paper. The participants then read out their truths and lies one after the other. Ideally with a short story to go with each one. The rest of the team now has to guess which is the lie. Example:<br \/>\n&#8211; I own 2 dogs<br \/>\n&#8211; I love spaghetti with red wine<br \/>\n&#8211; I go jogging in the morning before work<\/p>\n<p>Aim: to get to know each other better and practise creativity<\/p>\n<h3>5. stand up &#8211; sit down<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 5-10 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: 5 or more<br \/>\nResources: one chair per person<br \/>\nDescription: All participants sit down on their chair.

The slips of paper are folded, collected and shuffled. Now one slip of paper is drawn after the other and the team has the task of identifying the name and the person by name within 10 seconds. The person in question naturally holds back.<\/p>\n<p>Aim: Get to know each other quickly without formally introducing yourself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block-text pt4 pb10 pb12@sm pb16@md pb20@lg pb24@xl\" id=\"anker12\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"f6@xl mx-auto\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The 3 best Icebreakers<\/h2>\n<h3>1. answer bingo<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 10-15 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: 4 or more people, from 15 people divide into several teams<br \/>\nResources: Paper and pencil<br \/>\nRules of the game: At the beginning of a meeting, ask everyone a question, e.g. If you could choose one superpower, what would it be?

It is important that the experience is authentic and not invented. Participant A then tells the same experience again, but this time from a positive perspective. Participant B helps to identify further positive aspects of the negative experience. Halfway through the agreed time, the two swap roles.<\/p>\n<p>Objective: The participants learn how they can turn negative situations into positive ones and benefit together from the insights gained.<\/p>\n<h3>2. what belongs to whom?<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 10-20 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: Two to 16 people<br \/>\nAids: Box<\/p>\n<p>Description: All participants place a typical personal item in a box without the others seeing what is being placed.

Two people sit back to back. One person receives a sheet of paper and a pencil, while the other person receives a picture of a relatively simple object (e.g. a car, a flower, a house). The person with the picture must describe it to their partner so that they can draw it without revealing what exactly is depicted. Shapes, sizes and textures may be described, but it is not allowed to say directly what the object is. Once the drawings have been completed, compare them with the original picture and assess how similar they are to the original.<\/p>\n<p>Aim: This team building game is a fun way to improve communication skills, especially your listening skills. Innovation and creativity are stimulated<\/p>\n<h3>5. receive resolutions<\/h3>\n<p>Duration: 2-4 minutes<br \/>\nNumber of participants: 4 or more<br \/>\nTools: None<br \/>\nDescription: Before the meeting, ask your team members to stand up, get moving and exchange ideas with each other.

class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>Team building games are very important in teamwork because they motivate participants to join in, get to know each other and increase their willingness to learn. They can also reveal dysfunctions in the team in a playful way and bring the team to life.<\/p>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">In what context should I use team building games? <\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>Team building games should always be embedded in an overall concept. It often makes sense to lay a few theoretical foundations about how teams work before moving on to the team building games. After the active part, it is a good idea to reflect in the team and, above all, to transfer the experiences to everyday working life. It usually makes sense to have a trainer accompany you. In any case, you should have thought about the objective of your team building measure beforehand and select the tools accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">What are the costs of team building games?<\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>You can carry out team building games in your own team free of charge and, depending on the idea, you may not even need any equipment. If you commission an external agency to carry out the event, the costs depend on the number of participants and the location. Additional material costs, license costs, moderation costs, trainer costs, etc. may also be incurred. As a rule, the costs per participant will be between 19 and 99 euros.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"js-accordion__header bb bc-contour lh-normal my0 c-text f6 w-100 p-relative py2 py3@xl pl6 pl8@xl h:c-primary #transition-basic\">Why do people play team-building games?<\/h3><div class=\"js-accordion__panel bb bc-contour lh-normal py5 pa6@sm pa8@xl\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p>Team-building games can quickly reveal the dynamics within a team. Participants are spared lengthy lectures and analyses. Short bursts of activity in the form of team-building games can optimally improve team performance and team spirit in a short period of time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playfully fostering a sense of unity: our team-building games combine experience and cooperation.
