Strong communication skills play a critical role in the success of any team. Here you’ll find team-building activity ideas and offers that will help you and your team improve your communication skills in a fun and entertaining way.
The barter puzzleThis activity combines communication and creative teamwork skills. During the barter puzzle game, people are divided into teams, and each team is given a mix of different puzzle pieces from several different puzzles. The goal of the game is not only to assemble the puzzle but also to convince other teams to help you and get the missing pieces from other teams. Let’s see who has the best bartering skills!
Twenty questionsTwenty questions is a great communication activity to try with your team, and it’s as simple as it gets. One person comes up with a word or phrase. The other players ask questions and try to guess the word or phrase. The twist is that you only get twenty questions. Since the number of questions is limited, players must strategize how to get the correct answer and use as few questions as possible. This activity can teach the team how to gather information more effectively (it is especially useful when working with colleagues who have very little time). You can even agree on a point system to make it even more competitive!
Zen countingThis one is more spiritual. Zen counting is a very simple and fun activity that allows you and your team to connect and feel each other’s presence. You stand in a circle, and one person says “one,” then another person says “two,” and so on. Your goal is to count to 10 (or any other agreed-upon number) without gesturing. If two people say a number at the same time, you have to start over. Are you ready to enter the Zen zone?
