Team Building Activities
Below is a list of a few of the most popular team building activities that are available in Chicago, IL. Although not an exhaustive list, if you are looking for a fun event or program for your group, this list is a good place to start.
Build-A-Bike® Bicycle Team Building: The original Build-A-Bike ® Team event is taught by The Leader’s Institute ®. Participants complete challenges to earn pieces of bicycles, and the completed bikes are donated to a local children’s charity.
The Ace Race ® Golf Team Activity: Participants build a full miniature golf course inside your meeting room using non-perishable food items like canned goods as the materials. Teams race through the course and donate the food to a food bank at the end.
The Camaraderie Quest: This team scavenger hunt is unlike any other. Participants follow clues given to them on an iPad and must solve challenges and take pictures videos of their team completing each task. A slideshow concludes the event to crown a champion.
Charade Murder Mystery: This is a fun way to teach some real communication skills and develop team culture. The event starts as a communication seminar, but during the delivery, someone gets murdered. Teams must interrogate suspects to uncover clues.
