Our top tips on how to create the perfect team building event: · Plan ahead to leave ample time for coordination with your venue and team building provider.· Set a realistic budget to encompass the cost for the activity itself, field / room hire and refreshments.· Choose a venue with appropriate meeting room capacity / outdoor space for the type of activities you are interested in.· Gather key information including the age range of your delegates, the activity duration, your activity space, number of expected

delegates, budget indication and your event criteria: Levels of fun, development, and physicality.· Set clear objectives eg: enhanced creativity, collaboration, motivation or better time management· To get the most out of your team building session we recommend that you split delegates into their teams yourself.· A few days prior to the event let delegates know the day’s agenda so they arrive promptly for the activities and pass on any specific

clothing requirements. Where possible, do not tell delegates what the activity is – surprise is always good!

CRYSTAL MAZE

Mission Impossible “Good morning Teams. It has recently come to light that hidden deep within the fabric of our society lies an individual with the capacity to cause great harm to our nation. MI5 have a short list of 12 suspects and have asked for our help to discover the identity of this ‘Mole’… During this activity teams will encounter tactical tasks and will need to implement strategic thinking as they try to solve the mission and discover the identity of the ‘Mole’. At the start of the mission each team is given a secret dossier including 12 to 20 tasks (the number of tasks included depends on the time available for the event). This dossier is an integral part of the challenge and contains encrypted clues, coded information and hidden ciphers, all of which are revealed as the mission unfolds. The teams may also encounter taped messages, invisible writing and key codes along the way! The core mission is based around a series of outdoor and indoor challenges that the teams must undertake such as River Crossing, Unstable Solutions, Safe Crack, GPS orienteering and Contaminated to name a few. As each task is successfully completed our Special Agents will stamp the team packs as ‘Mission Accomplished’. The information the teams gather throughout the mission will allow them to gain access to the ‘Special Agents Dossier’ which details the profiles and names of the potential ‘Moles’. They will then have to use the information gathered previously to reveal the name of the ‘Mole’. It’s subtle, it’s clever and teams need to think it through… but is it IMPOSSIBLE?! What Is Included

· Site preparation and technical coordination with venue staff · Health and safety risk assessment and presentation of any health and safety reports · Delivery, setting up, running and dismantling of equipment / services · Firebird instructors · 12 -20 challenges with all equipment · Team briefcase with team pack and recorded message · Special Agent winners caps

Research proves that only 7% of communication is words. The other 93% is: 55% Body language & 38% Tone of voice.

Teams visit activity areas where they will complete part of a challenge. The challenges are on-going, so one team picks up where another left off. After each session, teams will have to communicate effectively in a short hand-over period so that the following team can continue with the project. Only when all teams have visited the activity can the challenge be completed! Then of course, we’ll look at all completed projects to show what can be achieved with collaboration, team work and a group effort! The Activities (we generally recommend up to 5 activities per event)

· The BIG Picture- Each team paints part of a picture. When all teams have completed their artwork, the picture will later fit together to make one group

masterpiece! · Paper Projects - Each team contributes towards creating a dinosaur skeleton (anatomically correct of course) out of paper rods! · Loony Balloons - Each team contributes towards creating a scene made entirely of balloons! · Piece of Cake - Teams must decorate an elaborate cake! The first team will set the scene and the following teams will add their contributions to the cake in

order to create a group show-stopper! Cakes then be stacked into an impressive tiered team cake extravaganza! · Comic Strip Capers - One team begins a comic strip. As the rest of the teams follow, who knows which direction the story will take?! · Sculpture Club - The first team begins to shape a model. Following teams then add to the structure to make a group sculpture. · “Over To You” - Teams film part of a movie, advert, news report or music video using iPads and iPad filming equipment and making good use of the props

and costumes. The following teams must continue the story and the finished movie can be shown at the end of the event. · One Track Challenge (optional finale) - Teams build a section of a Hot Wheels track that will later fit together to make a fun, fast obstacle course! · Roller Coaster (optional finale) - Teams build sections of a roller coaster that will fit together to make a fun fast finale!

COLLECTIVE

SOLUTIONS

A collaboration exercise that brings the whole group together in an upbeat finale.

The main objective is for the teams to design a rollercoaster that will transport a ball around a set pattern of arenas using rods! Initially each team works on their own part of the rollercoaster design and will construct their own structure. The main objective for this project is common to all teams and success depends on teams sharing information, knowledge, equipment and even resources to complete the final 'contraption'. Towards the end of the session teams will collaborate and bring their sections together to create one large rollercoaster. This can be a complex project with large teams all brain storming differing designs and methods of transporting their ball through the different arenas

The Objectives · To demonstrate issues related to team dynamics, problem solving, time management, organisation, and leadership under time constraints. · To practice prioritisation and time management skills. · To stimulate creative thinking.

Results Rollercoaster is a very engaging activity with all teams making a contribution to the end product. At the end of the session all team structures will be joined together to create one continuous rollercoaster. The ball is set off at one end and you could hear a ‘pin drop’ as the ball runs its full course – hopefully to the end

GREEN MACHINES

Throw away the engine and save the world, it’s the obvious answer! In this green event the brief is to build an eco friendly, city “run-around” to address the increasing dilemma of CO2 emissions. This activity has something for everyone and combines creative design along with construction and lots of team work! It is also well suited to many conference messages that are keen to have an eco friendly activity to support green business messages. Supplied with blueprints for vehicles that run without engines, each team must firstly decide which vehicle they wish to build… rickshaw, chariot, or cabriolet? Your task is not only to build them but to decorate and race them as well! We provide a well stocked workshop with a range of recyclable materials from sheets of cardboard to inner carpet “tubes” plus a range of fabrics and accessories for decorating the finished product. We also give the teams the tools they need to cut, trim and build their chosen vehicle as well as support staff to help them along the way – all the teams need to bring is the inspiration! As the finale to this fantastic team building activity the teams must test their creations against each other in the ‘final race off’ with one volunteer on board. As vehicles start to loose their decorations and get rather rickety teams realise their vehicles will need constant work and pit stops to get through the heats to the final. The team that will be crowned ‘Green Machine Champions’ will be the creator of the vehicle that can really go the distance and come out on top in the final race off!

What is included

· Site preparation and technical coordination with venue staff, full health and safety risk assessment and presentation of any health and safety reports · Delivery, setting up, running and dismantling of equipment / services and Firebird instructors · Team prizes, Tools, workshop equipment, safety wear as required i.e. gloves, goggles, blueprints

HAKA This traditional and ancient Maori Tribal dance acts as a powerful conference energiser, or as a teambuilding activity. It brings people together and gives them a unique shared experience. Your delegates enter the room and all seems well, the doors shut behind the last guests and then they hear the roar of ‘the call’… the loud and exciting tribal sound of the lead tribesman. The tribesmen then perform the overwhelmingly powerful ‘HAKA’ to the delight (and surprise) of your guests. Within moments of our team finishing their demonstration, we have everyone ready to go and take them on a whirlwind energiser, where they will learn and perform the HAKA as one unified team. Building towards a powerful finale performance, the group will go head to head in a bit of healthy tribal competition. Then the battle for tribal supremacy is won as we come together as one tribe for the ultimate HAKA. For the ultimate surprise, we will take the MD/CEO and dress him/her in their own ALL BLACK rugby strip (complete with Maori face paint) and have them perform on stage during the big finale. The HAKA is a composition played by many instruments. Hands, feet, legs, body, voice, tongue and eyes all play their part in blending together to convey in their fullness the challenge, welcome, exultation, defiance or contempt of the words. It is disciplined, yet emotional. More than any other aspect of Maori culture, this complex dance is an expression of the passion, vigour and identity of the team. It is at its best, truly a message of the soul expressed by words and posture. What is included Site preparation and technical coordination with venue staff, Fully costumed HAKA performers, A costume and face paint for the MD/CEO, Face paint for delegates and HAKA Certificate

Many people have never had a chance to experiment with circus skills before. Circus skills require concentration and confidence, and our workshop offers a genuine learning experience and confidence booster. The workshop really helps to develop individuals within the team. Delegates will work in pairs or small groups, allowing them to observe and learn from people within their own group. A highly enjoyable way for people to develop important skills that apply to all walks of life. The includes: Builds confidence self-esteem and develops teamwork. Involves both the left and right side of the body and brain to greatly improve learning and coordination abilities. Helps people to deal with fear, react to the unexpected and plunge into the next challenge with confidence.

Tightrope Walking (subject to availability) - Using a low-wire that is 50cm high, under constant supervision, tightrope walking is a safe and achievable skill. To walk the tight-wire requires great balance and an ability to stay focused at all times.

Juggling - The process of learning to juggle is a metaphor for many aspects of business life. Here, participants will be discovering techniques for learning any new skill - for example how to break tasks down into more manageable goals. Juggling is usually seen as an individual skill, but within this workshop the emphasis will be on both group and solo juggling. We actively encourage participants to inspire each other through sharing the skills that they are learning by creating their own routines.

Diabolo - Once the participants have learnt the basics of the skill and have been taught throwing, catching and other simple tricks, they can be paired up to start passing diabolos between each other. It requires synchronised timing and precision, so to be successful, clear, consistent communication is crucial.

Stilt Walking (hand held) - Learning how to use stilts is like re-discovering how to walk. There is a small degree of risk, but confidence can be built up very quickly. Once basic walking is mastered, participants will move on to applying everyday movements. This is a skill in which the support of colleagues is required in a literal sense.

Plate Spinning - This activity is always very popular and fairly easy to learn. Participants are taught the correct way to spin a plate and then progress to throws, passing, balances and other tricks. A very achievable and satisfying skill to learn.

Balloon Modelling - Almost any shape, animal or object can be created using specialist balloons. From individual balloon models to giant group sculptures. Our facilitators will show you just how easy it can be, when you know how!

As featured on ‘The Gadget Show’ Robo Challenge is a mobile robotic combat system that gives you the chance to have fun in a ‘Robot Wars’ style battle zone.

Introduction & Demonstration Our robo crew start the workshop with an interactive demonstration of Venom. With 600kg of crushing force this iconic robot inspires audiences and gets them prepared for the session ahead.

Robot Construction The participants are split into teams and must work together to assemble their robots. During this stage of the activity delegates will select parts from a variety of components and decide where to bolt them on. With everything from motor positioning to wiring, this task promotes creative problem solving as the teams must create a machine most suited for the challenges ahead.

The Robo Challenge! Once all the robots are ready it’s off to the arena where the teams will control their robots in a series of challenges to earn points. Every member of the team gets to control their creation which gives equal opportunity and promotes confidence in even the quietest of team players. The first round is a ‘Robot Wars’ style combat game and in the second round teams will compete in ‘Defend the Base’. In the final round teamwork is pushed to the max in the ‘Assault Course’! Until now, the teams believed they were competing against each other, however it isn't possible to complete the course without all the robots cooperating together. Much like everyday business where teams and departments must work together to succeed, it’s down to the participants to work out a solution – collaboration between teams is the only way to succeed in Robo Challenge!

Sculpture is not just about using clay, it also involves sculpture using mod-roc techniques, paper sculpture and mixed media. There is lots of scope for creativity! There are two main ways this activity can work. Either the group can work in teams on a number of sculptures, or they can create one big sculpture that comes together at the end.

What do we offer? Animation team building is an exciting creative experience during which your team will work together to produce a short animation that you will take away on DVD. Our workshops provide a chance for businesses and organisations to re-discover the joys of plasticine. Using our professional resources and expertise, teams will be taken through the process of creating their own plasticine characters and bringing them to life through animation! Producing an animation allows a team to become a film crew for the day – building skills in confidence, communication and co-operation. The animation can be made just for fun or even as a resource; perhaps a feature for the company website or an inter-office highlight of team-values. The structure of the session is extremely flexible; a team can either work to a brief set by us or can come with their own idea that they would like us to support.

Why choose animation? Making a short animation gives the team a chance to think creatively and delegate the different roles required for film production. Thinking creatively promotes activity in areas of the brain responsible for goal-directed behaviour and motivation to achieve. It allows people to discover new approaches to working and encourages innovative problem solving.

What will you get out of it? Working as a film crew requires unified effort, co-ordination of individual skills and group determination. The fun, hands-on process creates a relaxed atmosphere for colleagues to work together. Also, unlike many teambuilding events, with animation the client will have something to take away. All plasticine props and models are the team’s to keep, and of course the animation itself has value; whether it be used as a promotional tool or just as a reminder of the what was accomplished. As an additional service we can also produce a ‘making-of’ video to document the animation process, as well as professionally made posters/calendars featuring the team’s characters. Option 1 (3 Hours): model making workshop with 1 demonstration animation clip produced. Group Size Up To: 8: £1170 Additional Person: £100.00 Group Size Up To: 16: £1600 Additional Person: £100.00 Group Size Up To: 40: £3360 Additional Person: £100.00 Group Size Up To: 60: £4640 Additional Person: £100.00 Half Day (4 ½ Hours): model making workshop with 3 fully animated clips produced.

Programme Overview - Former Red Arrow and fighter pilot presenters and facilitators will deliver a high-impact and memorable teambuilding event which offers a unique insight into the pursuit of excellence and high-performance teams. This development seminar incorporates high-impact multi-media presentations, an interactive mission planning exercise and tangible and relevant learning about teamwork and high performance.

What Can Mission Excellence Teach Us - Just like many people in large organisations, a fighter or Red Arrow pilot has to deliver results in a world characterised by ambiguity, imperfect information and conflicting priorities. They work as part of clearly defined line management but actually do their day job as part of a matrix cross-functional team, often working with other individuals and teams over whom they have no line authority, and who may be in fact be sharing their time with other users of their services. The environment they work in requires agility since the one thing you can guarantee on a fighter mission is that ‘no plan survives first contact with the enemy.’ Execution must be carried out in a world where it is only possible to control a small number of the variables. The weather, correct functioning of advanced technology, changes in the strategic situation, and the independent wills of your own team, never mind ‘the bad guys’, are just some of the factors which make flawless execution of a pre-conceived strategy or plan often both impossible and irrelevant. Ultimately the only relevant measure of success is our ability to deliver outcomes or effects; we execute the mission, not just the plan. Objective - The objective of the seminar is to introduce the processes and behaviours employed by fighter pilots to deliver exceptional mission execution in dynamic high-pressure environments, introducing delegates to tangible tools which can be implemented back in the workplace.

Teams begin by inventing their new ice cream flavour. With a wide range of ingredients teams can let their imaginations run wild and the more adventurous can go mad with the not-so-obvious ingredients. Perhaps some teams will follow in the footsteps of Heston Blumenthal’s gourmet egg and bacon ice cream and attempt to create their own cutting edge flavour… Once decided, teams put their ingredients into a recipe and make their product. Each team has a work station with top quality ice cream making facilities. Teams will then develop their brand, giving it a catchy name, designing the packaging and making their prototype - this will need to reflect their brand and appeal to their target market. A marketing strategy is then devised to show how they intend to advertise their product. To make the process even more challenging teams must stick to a limited time scale and budget to achieve sweet success. Extra points can be earned by completing tasks such as; creating a uniform from craft materials and an amusing game of “name that tune” including popular songs performed in the style of ice cream van chimes! The proof, as they say is in the pudding - after a rigorous tasting session (it’s a tough job!) each team will present their sales pitch to the judges and perform their adverts in a fun finale! Judges will then decide which team has produced the most successful sundae and the ‘Happy Sundae Champions’ will be revealed!

Happy Sundaes is an indulgent team building challenge that’s a real treat for everyone. During the course of the activity teams must synchronise their taste buds and invent a new ice cream flavour.

Our hilarious version of the popular TV hit show! The De-Generation Game is bound to leave a superb lasting memory for you and all your guests. This is a superb party evening which works perfectly for both groups who know each other well and those that don't. An electric mix of five of the funniest rounds will see you and your team battling it out in challenges such as; Maori Haka dancing, Balloon Modelling, Line Dancing, Doctors and Nurses, Cake Decorating and Trashy Fashion to name but a few. Will your team come out on top and make it through to the Human Conveyor Belt, or will they just be left to watch as somebody else walks away with the ultimate top prize. Everyone who wants to try something different can and everyone leaves knowing that "life is the name of the game".

Starter: Your guests are seated at their tables enjoying their starters, blissfully unaware that some of the 'waiting staff' are about to become a lot noisier than you would normally expect. During a speech by the ‘venue staff’, a tray clatters to the floor… Main Course: A highly energised and talented group of professional musicians / dancers cleverly disguised as the venues 'Maitre D', cheeky waiter or even a fiery chef will emerge from the scene to delight your unassuming guests with a fabulous ‘Stomp' like performance. Dessert: Using kitchen utensils, water butts, metal trays, body percussion and fabulous rhythms our ‘Crashing Waiters’ will serve your guests a feast of table-side entertainment... instantly creating a pulsating groove and highly visual performance for your guests enjoyment.

After Dinner Competition: After this high energy performance, the fun really begins. In a short interactive session, each table receives a gift bag full of percussive kitchen items - our professional team will then invite the entire room to join them in a rhythmic table to table competition. With a little encouragement from the ‘Crashing Waiters’ and to the surprise of your guests the entire party will be instantly transformed into a funky junk percussion group! A few volunteers are invited up to the front to represent their table in a solo section, complete with chef hats & aprons. Prizes may be awarded for the best performers… What Is Included: Crashing waiters (fully costumed), kitchen utensils / other themed instruments for guests to play and keep, selection of performance instruments, chef hats / aprons for guest ‘soloists’ and an event never to be forgotten!
