Have you been tasked with organising a fun team bonding activity and have no idea where to start? Don’t worry – we’re here to guide you and make it as painless as possible!

All the obvious options have been done – so dinner and drinks just doesn’t cut it anymore…

Here are our five top tips to how to organise a fun team bonding activity that your team will love AND most importantly it won’t break the bank nor be difficult to organise.

With time in mind, we’ll get straight to it.

1. Understand your team

Consider the interests and preferences of your team members. What activities do they enjoy? What would be a good fit for the team’s personality?

Keep in mind the diverse preferences within the team. Try to find activities that can appeal to a broad range of interests.

Everyone’s been to lots of team bonding activities that revolve around dinner / drinks but try to choose something that has a wider appeal. Are they an active bunch? Or love an ‘experience’?

3. Consider logistics of the team bonding activity

Choose a time that works for everyone, and be mindful of the duration of the activity. It should be long enough to achieve its objectives but not too long to cause discomfort.

Select a convenient and accessible location. This could be within the office premises, at an off-site location, or even a virtual setting. Getting outside and the team moving is always a good option to keep everyone engaged.

5. Encourage reflection and feedback

Schedule time for a debriefing session after the activity. This allows team members to reflect on the experience, share insights, and discuss how the lessons learned can be applied in the workplace.

Collect feedback from the team about the activity. This input can be valuable for future planning and ensures that these team bonding activities continue to meet the evolving needs of the team.

Remember, the key to a successful team bonding activity is to create an inclusive, enjoyable experience that aligns with the team’s goals and promotes positive interactions among team members.
