Key Team Benefits of the Team Survival Team Building Activity

Collaboration

Problem Solving

A unique platform for teams to overcome problems as a collective, without the parameters or hierarchy of the working environment.

How Does Team Survival Team Building Activity Work?

The activity starts with an introduction from our presenter. Depending on how you would like the event delivered they can take on the role of a survival expert or drill sergeant.
It’s then into the first energiser which is for the team to form a giant SOS out of all team members and then an aerial photo will be taken of the group. A great keepsake of the day.

The group is then split into teams of roughly 8 delegates. This will be your team and we encourage these to be formed of a variety of different personality types and physical abilities.Then it’s time to tackle the challenges. These will range from crossing a hypothetical river with limited equipment, communicating to half of your team using only signal flags and a decipher code or constructing a base camp. All activities will be completed in a head to head fashion meaning that throughout your event you will interact with all members of the group.

On each activity the teams will appoint a leader who will take charge and brief the rest of their team on the activity (these roles will swap between each activity). This encourages communication, leadership, teamwork and logical thinking under pressure. While teams take part in the activity our instructors will complete a points sheet ,these will score each teams leadership and teamwork based on a 10 point system. This gives great feedback at the end of the event as to how each team performed. At the end of the activity we collate all of the feedback and points before giving a debrief and announcing the winning team.
