3 Outdoor Spring Team Building Exercises

Whether you employ a handful or dozens of people, spring offers the perfect weather for outdoor team building activities. Schedule an afternoon of fun and bonding as you participate in three outdoor exercises that build your employees' abilities to work as a team.

1. Egg and Spoon Race

Reward team spirit when you play this traditional summer camp game. However, don't reward the team that successfully carries the egg on the spoon from one end of the playing field to the other and back again in record time. Instead, reward the team that cheers the loudest for their mates.

2. Obstacle Course

Every employee in your company brings a different talent and skill to the table, and everyone's contributions are important and necessary. Prove that point when you separate your employees into evenly mixed teams for an obstacle course filled with activities for all fitness levels and skills. Suggestions include:

*Speed walk for 50 yards.
*Kick a ball through a series of hoops.
*Jump rope or skip from one end of the field to the other.
*Verbally lead a blindfolded team member to tie his or her shoes, eat a piece of watermelon or plant a flower in a planter.

3. Disc Golf

Help employees from different departments bond when you play a friendly game of disc golf. Increase the bonding when you post an open-ended question at each hole for the team members to answer.

*What's your favorite way to relax after work?
*If you could be an animal, which one would you choose and why?
*What do you like most about your job?
*If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

All three of these team building exercises bonds your employees together. They also boost morale and expose your employees to fun physical activity. Which one will you try first this spring?
