Just because you want to instill a sense of team in your workplace, does
not mean you want to pay a huge fee for it. This is OK because there
are quite a few simple and free team building ideas. Team building is
relatively new in the corporate industry; therefore there are quite a few
studies and projects being done on team building. Each one of these
studies has come up with a positive result. Indeed team building does
help office morale, it also allows the staff to bond and increases
productivity, even when you team build in small doses.

Simple team building exercises are usually made up of a series of “ice
breakers” rather than full team building activities. Ice breakers are
simple and to the point, they can also help a group who is having
conflict issues. If you are on a limited time frame, you can still get the
benefits of team building when you do these simple team building
exercises below.

Team building/ ice breakers

MY ITEM: Have each person bring something to the meeting that
means something special to him or her, and then take turns telling
about it. Could have people try to guess who items belong to.

PAT ON THE BACK: Have everyone draw an outline of their hand on a
sheet of paper, then tape it to their back. Have group members mingle
and write things on everyone’s back that tells them something positive.

LIFELINES: This exercise uses a huge sheet of paper with a long
“lifeline” drawn across it. Each member marks dates on the line to
represent the highs, lows, significant events, turning points, etc. of
her/his life to date. (Can also project the future). Each date should be
labeled to help explain it. Members of the group each share their dates

with other members. The group may ask questions about each other’s
lifelines.

BLIND POLYGON: Ask the participants to form a circle and put on their
blindfolds. Give them a rope. Ask each person to grab hold of the rope,
and then, as a group, to form a perfect square. When they believe the
task is accomplished, they are to stand in position and remove the
blindfolds. Using the same procedure, ask them to form any geometric
shape you think is possible with the group.

PERSONAL COAT OF ARMS: Give each person a sheet of paper with a
blank coat of arms on it. There are four quadrants on the “shield” and
you ask participants to respond to specific questions/statements in
each quadrant. For example, where your favorite place to escape is,
favorite childhood memory, greatest fear, person who’s most
important to you, etc. Then ask each participant to draw a symbol or
motto about his/her shield that represents him/her. Go around the
group and have each participant share what they’re willing of their
shield with the group.

STAND-UPS: Start off by breaking the participants into pairs. Have each
participant sit back-to-back, link arms at the elbow, and stand up. Then
have two pairs join together, introduce themselves, then sit down in a
small circle and face outward so that all backs are in the center. Then
arms at the elbow stand up as a group. Then they grab another group
so that there are 8 people, and do the same thing.

These are all very simple and very quick team builders. These can all be
done in a matter on minutes. The team will appreciate the break, and
will bond as a team. Taking a quick break for team building is one of the
best things you can do!
