Organise a Team Building Activity

Whatever event you choose, it is important that an event engages the group, keeps everyone involved through participation or as a spectator. Some activities work better with smaller groups and some activities can only be successfully with a larger group, to give the event the balance of atmosphere and interaction.

What to consider when organising a team event.
How physical / energetic do you want your event?
Indoor or outdoor event?
What is the age and male/female mix
How far will you travel.
Will it be a midweek or weekend activity
Will you incorporate an overnight stay?

Generally the larger the group, the greater the mix of activities you will require.
Once your numbers rise to 30-40 people, a multi-activity event will normally incorporate some activities that everyone will enjoy. Alternatively, an event that people would not normally be able to do themselves such as Ice Sculpting or Its a Knockout.
If you do have a small group and want to offer more activity options have you considered inviting another department or sister company or even better to cement business relationships ask a supplier or customer?
