Teambuilding Game: The United States
Recognise it? Teambuilding a country!
During the Teambuilding Game ‘The United States’, the participants are divided into different teams that battle each other. Each team represents a state. The goal is to turn their state into a prosperous one where the people are happy. To achieve this they have to acquire certain assets (schools, hospitals etc.). These can be acquired by negotiating with other teams. This means the teams have to work together to achieve their goals! Afterwards, the teams can literally build up their state with ‘Kapla blocks’ on a huge map.
To be successful in this game, not only is good collaboration within the team important, but also communicating clearly and negotiating successfully with the other teams. Because without good collaboration among one another various incidents will threaten the state’s prosperity and result in its extinction. And that’s something you certainly want to avoid in the real business world too!
Recognise it? The United States as a metaphor!
Almost all organizations consist of multiple teams and/or departments, the states in this game model, who not only have their own targets, but also have to work for a common goal. When teams or departments in the real business world work poorly together, this leads to friction and tasks and goals are missed. By using a Teambuilding Game as a metaphor for your own organization, your employees learn that working together is crucial if they are to be successful. And that in a fun and challenging manner.
From 5 to 5000 employees, from work placement student to director, everyone joins in during this live game where it immediately becomes clear who you don’t play games with and who goes that extra mile for his state.
