1. Blindfold Archery 

Unlike traditional archery, Blindfold Archery eliminates the sense of sight, increasing the need for accuracy and making this team building activity twice as fun. 

To set up the activity, participants are divided into teams and provided with bows, arrows and blindfolds. Participants are then assigned their respective roles, such as archer or guide, encouraging engagement and camaraderie. 

Participants, guided solely by verbal cues from their teammates, rely on each other’s directions to hit the target using a bow and arrow. As this game requires great teamwork and communication skills, employees learn the importance of active listening and effective communication. 

As a result, blindfold archery leads to enhanced collaboration, which they can mirror in their working environment. These team building activities encourage employees to share experiences, face challenges and employ effective strategies to achieve their activity goals and in some cases, beat the other team.

2. Axe Throwing

By incorporating unusual team building activities into your corporate day out, businesses infuse a sense of adventure, fostering teamwork and cohesiveness. Axe throwing is a great example of this!

Before beginning, participants receive a safety brief and gaming instructions to carry out the activity smoothly. Later, participants are divided into teams, ensuring a mix of roles and responsibilities for cross-functional interactions. 

During the game, team members take turns throwing axes at wooden targets, aiming to score points for their teams. This competitive yet light-hearted atmosphere encourages teamwork as team members exchange advice and strategies to improve accuracy. 

Additionally, axe throwing offers surprising benefits and reinforces skills like effective communication, adaptability and mutual support. After the axe-throwing activity, teams gather for a debriefing session where they discuss their experience and share highlights with general feedback.

3. Clay Pigeon Shooting

Another unusual team building activity is clay pigeon shooting, which offers a unique blend of excitement and skill development among participants. 

Similar to other team building activities, clay pigeon shooting involves dividing participants into smaller groups or teams where they decide on strategies to perform this activity. 

Team members take turns aiming at clay discs launched in the air. Evidently, this dynamic sport requires quick decision-making and coordination, encouraging employees to communicate effectively and focus to avoid common mistakes. 

Additionally, in this activity, teams can inject an element of friendly competition. For instance, teams can aim to hit certain targets within a particular time frame or challenge each other to hit a certain amount of clay pigeons in a row. These challenges push employees out of their comfort zones, promoting teamwork and efficient collaboration.
