Choices we offered:

Negotiation
We had a meeting with the client several months before their team building event and made several site visits to check on what could and couldn’t be done there. There was a big space outside that perfectly suited our School Sports Day (for grown-ups!)and that was the event we agreed to run for them – with an indoor Law and Disorder option, in case of bad weather.

The event
A School Sports Day (for grown-ups!) for 16 teams. We marked out the track the day before and, on the day, set up a Tuck Shop nearby, serving free sweets and drinks. We also had our own Ice Cream van onsite, serving free ice creams. Our ‘Headmaster’ kicked the day off with a school assembly, asking all the “boys and girls” not to slouch and to take their hands out of their pockets. He then divided everyone into teams and got the Gym Mistress to lead them out to the race track. Activities on the track included a Hula Hoop race, three-legged race and sprint relay. We also had several events that weren’t at all strenuous and where levels of fitness wouldn’t matter – e.g. a Stop Smirking challenge and an Egg Throwing contest. This meant that everyone became involved and, even if they weren’t taking part in a race, they would still enthusiastically cheer on their team. Our actors played a collection of hilarious teacher characters who kept everyone thoroughly entertained and amused.

Feedback on School Sports Day (for grown-ups!)
“The best team building day we’ve ever had!” “It’s completely changed how we all see each other and brought everyone much closer together.” “Very professionally organised. Never a dull moment!” “Planning and execution were perfect.”
