Planning team building activities
The most important step when planning a team-building activity: identifying the challenges your team faces. Based on these you can choose exercises that will be effective in helping them work through these issues.




Spend time thinking about your team's current strengths and weaknesses. Reflect on these questions to identify the root of any problems:

  • Are there conflicts between certain people that result in dividing the team?
  • Do team members need to get to know each other?
  • Do some members focus on their own success, and harm the group as a result?
  • Does poor communication slow the group's progress?
  • Do people need to learn how to work together?
  • Are some members resistant to change, and does this affect the group's ability to move forward?
  • Do members of the group need a boost to their motivation?


Once the causes of your team's issues are identified, the exercises that will address these problems can be planned. This will help your team to gain real benefit from the event.
