Some Assembly Required: Children's Charity & Team Building Activity

Break out of silos, strengthen teamwork, and improve bonding through a meaningful charity team building.

Overview

Participate in a corporate charity event that helps local children in need while also improving teamwork skills. Teams of 5-8 people assemble a project that will be donated to a local children’s charity. Teams must organize the different functions of engineering, materials, and assembly, while dealing with different restrictions on their communication and departmental movements. This program effectively merges teamwork skills and breaking down silos in the workplace with a meaningful charity team building event.

Who this workshop is right for:

Teams that want to build morale and make a difference.
Teams that need to look at how they interact internally and externally.

Goals & Outcomes

Understand the power of clear and precise communication.

Give back to the community by donating toys to families in need

Increase collaboration and reduce organizational silos.

Build morale and commitment on the team.

Agenda & Activities

Welcome & Warm-Ups (10-15 minutes) Atlanta Challenge staff welcome the group and set expectations for the charity team building. We then lead some fun warm-up activities that get the group moving and ready to fully participate.

Intro Team Challenge (10-20 minutes) This is a quick handson activity with the entire group to get everyone engaged and focused on the big picture of developing the team and donating to charity.

Strategy Session (10 minutes) Teams review the instructions and timeline. Then they decide who will be assigned to each department and how to optimize their performance.

Building Phase (60-120 minutes) Building is done in several rounds. Each round consists of a short team meeting followed by a construction phase. During the meeting, the group can discuss what is working and what needs improvement. Teams keep track of these observations on a Delta/ Plus worksheet.
The teams will also need to adapt to changes that happen to the rules or to their team (members are “transferred” to other teams, schedule changes, etc.). After the team meeting, each person goes to their assigned department for the construction phase of that round.

Quality Inspection (5 minutes) Each project is inspected by your team and our staff to ensure safety and quality.

Teamwork Review (10-15 minutes) The team discusses what they observed during the activity, how this reflects what happens in their workplace, and what changes will help the team be more effective in the future. Leadership and organizational silos are a common topic.

Charity Introduction (5 minutes) The group learns about the charity that will be receiving the items. For larger programs, a representative from the charity may be available to accept the donation.

Wrap-up (5 minutes) We end with a group picture featuring the completed projects and final thoughts from the team leader.
