It’s the obligation of leaders to make sure that their members have high morale. One of the methods to maintain their best form is to organize some fun activities that will alleviate stress.

3. Loop de loop
It is time to do a little exercise and shake matters. Your team has to form a circle whilst protecting others fingers. Each hand will control a hula hoop. The goal of the game is to pass the hula hoop to others without letting go of the hands.
4. Helium Stick
This is a simple, yet exciting hobby that you may do in your office. Prepare a long stick which is called helium for each team member. The objective of the game is to have each member keep their index finger near their chest. Every person will then touch the stick without letting the stick fall.
5. Salt and Pepper
Put together portions of paper, then list “pairs” such as salt and pepper, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck, and so on. Tape each piece of paper on every person. Find their pair by strolling across the room, asking questions while blindfolded.
6. Fun Meetings
Here is a great way to add spice to a regular meeting. Rather than writing the agenda on a plain white piece of paper, write it on colored paper. Then, provide small rewards to everyone who can make a contribution to the agenda.
7. Talking in Circles
This can be difficult albeit fun and powerful way to practice coordination and teamwork. Let your team form a circle, then have them maintain a long string using their two hands around the circle. They need to create a shape without letting go of the string.

10. Move Tennis Balls
This game will show how rapid and agile you are and how you will react to “emergency” conditions. The goal of the game is simple. Every team gets as many tennis balls as possible within a certain amount of time.
11. Coin Logo
In this game, the team who has more coins collected and has creativity wins. Every participant needs to take out everything from their pockets. The goal is to create a shape or logo to symbolize the team through coins. They can also use other office materials together with pen and paper.

The winner will be the team who builds the tallest tower! This is one of the simplest yet meaningful team building games around.
13. Ride some bikes
Riding a bike is fun and relaxing. You can make it inspirational by educating teenagers while cycling. This is a great way to have a moment to speak about the realities in life with your youthful team members.
14. Build Prosthetic Hands
This is another worthwhile team building activity. Assist a few people in making prosthetic hands. It is a great hobby for the team to work with and you have the added benefit of helping someone. Check out the video below for more info on this program:
15. Getting to Know You
This is also a fun icebreaker. On a sheet of paper, describe or write anything about a team member. Let the team guess who that person through the written description is. This will help each team member to know more and appreciate their other team members.
