Cohesion is crucial for building a successful team, and team-building exercises are a great way to create it. It’s important to choose fun, engaging activities, and if you have an upcoming corporate event, you’ll find some great examples below to try. These are geared at building team skills, and most importantly, strengthening the bond among members.

3 Team-Building Exercises to Try at Your Corporate Event

1. Mixed Jigsaw

To get people to work together, split them into groups and give a jigsaw puzzle to each. The goal is for them to solve theirs the fastest. However, some pieces will be given to the other groups, and they’ll have to work together to negotiate and get them back. Problem-solving is a core theme, and employees will have a chance to show their skills and take leadership.

2. Two Truths & a Lie

Communication is an integral part of the workplace, and the Two Truths and a Lie game makes it a focal point. Have each person write down two truths and one lie about themselves, not showing anyone. Then, allow members to openly mingle. Have each present the lie as truth while guessing others’ truths. Collect the group and have them guess about each person’s two truths and one lie, with the goal being to promote better communication and friendship.

3. Blind Drawing

Pair off everyone and provide a pencil and paper. Have each person sit back-to-back and describe a picture for one to draw piece-by-piece rather than telling them the overall picture. Each will have to give clear, detailed instructions, so the other can interpret it and draw the image, which will be echoed in the office after the corporate event.
