Furious Birds Team Building Activity

A hilarious team challenge that combines engineering and ruthless competition.

Overview

Teams demonstrate their creativity, tenacity, and flexibility as they recover an assortment of materials that they then use to design and assemble an aweinspiring and effective catapult. Then they face off against another team and attempt to demolish the other team’s fortress while furiously defending and rebuilding their own. The result is a fast-moving, high-energy experience packed with creativity, competition, and memorable moments.

Who this workshop is right for:

  • Hands-on teams that need something active.
  • Groups that need some time to have fun without anything too heavy.

Goals & Outcomes

  • Develop problem solving and time management skills.
  • Enhance creativity and collaboration with teamwork projects.
  • Expand accountability and effectiveness in a team environment.
  • Build morale and camaraderie through hilarious competition.

Agenda & Activities

Welcome & Warm-Ups (5-10 minutes) Atlanta Challenge staff welcome participants and kick off the event with fun, high-energy icebreakers that get the group laughing, moving, and ready for competition.

Team Up! (5 minutes) The final warm-up activity randomly divides participants into smaller teams. Once grouped, teams take a few moments to create team names, build some team spirit, and get ready for battle.

Event Intro (5 minutes) Teams receive the rules for the competition, review scoring criteria, and inspect the materials they’ll use to launch their plan for destruction.

Battle Prep (60 minutes) Teams organize their defenses, prepare ammunition, reinforce their structures, and get ready for combat. Throughout the preparation phase, teams complete mini challenges, earn bonus materials, strengthen their fortresses, and make strategic decisions about offense versus defense before the battle begins. As the pressure builds, resources become more valuable, and teams scramble to prepare for total chaos.

The Duel (10-20 minutes) This is the main event. Each team faces off against another team, attempting to fire as many birds as possible at the opposing wall while rebuilding their own fortress under fire. Final points are awarded based on surviving structures, successful attacks, battlefield performance, and pig survival.

Wrap-up (5 minutes) Final scores are announced, standout moments are celebrated, and the event wraps up with laughter, team photos, and plenty of stories to tell back at the office.
