TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES
1. Lily Pads
IMPACT: Requires decision making, planning, communication, and helping others as
they share a physical activity
TIME REQUIRED: 30minutes
DIRECTIONS:
The goal of the activity if for all team members to cross a marked area

designated as the river using only the lily pads. Lily pads can be pieces of cardboard
or paper, etc.
Participants must stay in contact with the lily pads at all times, or the lily pads will
be swept away down the river (i.e. the facilitator will remove them). If a participant
steps off the lily pad into the river at anytime after leaving the river bank s/he will have
to pay the consequences; and either the individual or the entire team will have to
return to the river bank (the facilitators choice). A successful team will get everyone
across the river in as short a time as possible.
2. Alaskan Baseball
IMPACT: Energizes a group with physical activity; challenges teams to work well
together
TIME REQUIRED: 20 30 minutes
DIRECTIONS:

Divide the group into two teams. One team (team A) is the infield. The other

team (team B) is the outfield.

Team A starts by throwing the stick anywhere in the designated play area. The

stick must be allowed to land on the ground.

Once the stick has been thrown, team B runs toward it and forms a single file line
behind it. The first person in line picks up the stick and passes it over his or her
head to the person directly behind, who passes it backwards through his or her

legs. This over-under pattern continues until the stick has reached the end of the
line and the last person yells STOP.
3. Flip the Duck
IMPACT: Challenges all group members to use cooperation, strategy, and creativity,
energizer
TIME REQUIRED: 10- 20 minutes
DIRECTIONS:

Ask all participants to get in a circle.

Hand them the sheet, and ask everyone to hold onto the edge with two hands
and stretch it out flat in the air, not on the ground.
Place the duck in the center of the sheet.
The mission is to get the duck to the other side of the sheet without letting it fall
on the ground.
