Fun Atlanta Team Building Activities

There are a lot of ways to have fun, but people need to be comfortable in order to have the best time. If people are dressed for business and you have them do an obstacle course, they may not enjoy it. Similarly, consider the general fitness level and preferences of the participants.

Consider what demeanor you want your program to have. Is the bulk of the day seated? Would the group appreciate lots of moving around, or to relax a bit more? How will they be dressed, and what will they be comfortable doing? Will they be eating or drinking, and what activity level is appropriate for that?

No one has fun if they are stressed over time. The trick with a fun team building activity is making sure that it is fast–paced enough to keep it interesting, but without making people feel rushed. About 2 hours seems to be the best range for a fun event, but with the right activity it can go to 3 hours. In a pinch, even 60- 90 minutes can work to break up a long day. Be sure to select an event that comfortably fits in your event window.

An activity can be very active or more relaxed in both indoor and outdoor settings, but dress code, weather, group size and location will determine what flows well. Outdoor events typically need more time, both at the event as well as travel to and from the location, even if it’s just outside at your hotel.

Different activities work well in different spaces. Like a pair of shoes, if they don’t fit right, it doesn’t matter how great they are. Rather than trying to make an event fit, find the event that is designed for the space you have. Is your room set classroom style, banquet style, reception style? Our team would be happy to walk you through a few options for whatever space and set-up you have, which helps you save time and money by not needing a completely different layout for your fun team building activities.

There are a few reasons for having fun in addition to team bonding. Are you trying to break up a long day of meetings, wrap up your day on a high note, get people to know each other better, network, or celebrate a success? Each of these outcomes are met in slightly different ways – team bonding activities can be a bit different than hosting a corporate party or celebrating reaching a sales milestone. The more clear you are on what you want out of the activity, the more fun people will have.
