How can a group of people working together become a team? For many years, many group organizations or government agencies have adopted proven, effective outdoor adventure team-building games. This is because they know these games can turn a group of people into a team—one with better communication, more trust, higher problem-solving efficiency, and more effective collaboration. Now, outdoor adventure trainers, such as the author of this book, Harrison Snow, have finally provided businesses and organizations with a way to benefit from these effective team-building games without expensive outdoor activities.
The "Team Building Games Coaching Manual" is the essential tool for indoor trainers to conduct highly effective and impactful team-building games in readily available spaces (like an open area, parking lot, or classroom) without the need for elaborate, expensive equipment or travel costs. These fun and energetic games, derived from the training practices of the World Adventure Organization, provide a complete team-building curriculum—and if needed, they can be arranged to cover a multi-day training program.
These games include: warm-up games, trust-building games, communication games, problem-solving-oriented games, multi-team collaborative games, and large-scale activities. Each game requires simple props, such as rubber balls, blindfolds, or ropes. Moreover, each game is fully detailed, including: training objectives, necessary equipment, time limits, rules, review, and safety guidelines. The games in this book have provided successful team-learning experiences for thousands of participants. Now, all businesses—whether small or large—can enjoy the benefits of outdoor adventure team building without leaving their backyard!
