Top 10 Social Distancing Team Building Activities
Team building continues to reinvent itself into different formats to accommodate common objectives, but still staying within the guidelines of Covid-19.
Companies are still investing in their people to ensure motivation and collaboration in distanced times, but their needs have changed. The primary objectives are still there, but businesses are seeking solutions to continue team development in safe environments.
As conditions start to ease, teams are looking ahead at future events and how they can be safe for all participants. Social distancing is one of the highest priorities.
We’ve put together our top ten concepts for social distanced team building activities.
Our Top 10 Social Distancing Team Building Events
#1 Scattergun
A socially distanced team are given individual maps showing the location of a variety of challenges. One communicator stays at HQ to coordinate everyone via two way radios. When each person reached their first mapped location, they radio through what they find. Everyone will gather individual clues, all of which accumulate to the answer to each task, if they fathom it out! As team progress, they collect giant jigsaw pieces. Once complete all pieces are dropped off at HQ ready for one nominated person to try and build the final puzzle. The first team to complete it win!
#2 The Masterpiece
An art-based challenge where socially distanced individuals have to copy a nominated part of a large picture into an art canvas. From spaced out tables, teams have to share their progress to ensure the sections of the canvas flow to connect with each other. This makes the bigger picture when all the parts of the image are placed by our team and revealed on a giant frame..
#3 Escape Room
Who dunnit? That’s the ultimate question! We run two versions of our festive Murder Mystery events. One using a high tech Cluedo style app based game, the other with live virtual actors. Each experience tasks teams with the challenge of solving all kinds of clues, examining evidence & hunting for suspects to unravel the crime. Players work in mini teams to share ideas and information to try and work out who was the murderer, what was the murder weapon and what was the motive.
#4 BBQ Champions
Hosted by a Michelin star chef, individuals each have a dedicated outdoor cooking station complete with a range of ingredients, utensils, and a BBQ. Everyone will watch a central demo by our chef showing you a range of different techniques and recipes to cook amazing food on the BBQ. We’ll also show you the best way to get the most consistent heat from a charcoal BBQ. Each person will cook a set piece, all of which are judged at the end based on taste, visual appeal and creativity.
#5 Bakeathon
Another cookery event, but this time, based on baking, as per the famous TV show. Individuals are distanced on cooking stations, all complete with everything they need to create something amazing. Teams connect as they all have a dish to create which is divided amongst the group members.
#6 Challenge 100
Distanced around the room each individual is given a pack containing details of 10 tasks. With 10 people per team, that’s 100 in total. The aim of the game is to complete as many of the tasks, games and challenges around the room as possible. Everything works on an individual basis, so there is no close contact. For every task completed, individuals accrue points at the score desk. It’s as simple as the more tasks you complete, the more points your team earn!
#7 Under Pressure
Distanced apart on challenge stations individuals have to nominate a player to come forward to complete a nail-biting challenge in our amazing inflatable arena. Games & tasks are individual based, with amazing audience participation. Big points are awarded for the top player from each round, leading to a exciting finale.
#8 CSI Crime Scene Experience
Faced with a recreation of a crime scene, individuals collaborate findings to their team by completing a range of forensic challenges. For each challenge, individuals are delivered a fresh set of kit, by our team who also socially distance. Tasks include fingerprint dusting, hair and fibre analysis, FBI style digital e-fit recreation and blood splatter analysis. Groups coordinate their findings as they progress, to finally conclude on who they think was the killer, what was the motive and which murder weapon was used.
#9 Sports Superstars
Taking elements from classic school sports days, The Olympics and modern day sports, socially distanced teams rotate around a variety of different sports zones. At each zone they nominate a player to come forward to take on the competitors. All the activities and players are socially distanced and all kit is disinfected per round. Games include: Penalty shootout, archery, foam javelin, shot-put and welly wanging.
#10 Wall Street Winners
Another TV inspired experience taken from the famous Deal or No Deal game show. Teams take part in a range of fun tasks and energizers in advance to win funds. They then enter the nail biting series of rounds against the banker to see which team has the nerves of steel to win the most money and take the win.
