Teambuilding with Games

The Costume Relay Game

Supplies:
Two sets of funny costume pieces like hats, scarves, capes, over sized shirts, baggie pants, gloves, etc.

Game set up:
Make a starting line and 30 feet away make another line. Divide the costumes into 2 equal piles at the starting line.

Playing the game:
Divide the people into 2 equal teams. Each team begins at the starting line behind a costume pile. The first person from each team quickly puts on all the costumes in his pile, runs to the other line, runs back to the starting line, and takes off the costumes. The next person on his team does the same thing until everyone on the team has a turn. The team that finishes first is the winner.

This is a fun teamwork game or play it with teams you mentor.

Top 10 Team-Building Tips - Games

Because FUN is the best part of FLL, our team always has a game ready to play during breaks at team meetings. We already shared one game (http://theinventioneers.blogspot.com/2009/09/fll-tip-of-week.html) and now over the next few weeks, we'll share some more of our favorites! Here's one of the team games we love to play together and also with teams we mentor!

The Hoolahoop Game

Everyone stands in a circle holding hands for the entire game. Put a hoolahoop in between to people's hands so that it is in between the people's arms. Then every person has to go through the hoolahoop with always holding hands until you get back to the person that the hoolahoop started with and try to do it as fast as you can! You can even have two groups competing against each other to see who can do it the fastest!
