Pterodactyl
Wordplay games

Pterodactyl

Here’s a quirky new game that has hilarious results. In “Pterodactyl” (which is hard enough to spell correctly), players completely cover their teeth with their lips. One player starts the game by saying “Pterodactyl” to someone else without showing their teeth. If neither player cracks up and laughs, the next player passes it on. Twists can come into the game if you add a silly face, cross your eyes, or use a strange voice. If you make another player laugh and show their teeth, they’re out! Continue this speaking game until only one Pterodactyl champion remains!

This creative drawing exercise helps everyone get to know each other better. Have each participant draw their own “coat of arms” that is unique to them, representing the characteristics or important accomplishments that make them who they are.

Breakfast Guessing
Team energizers

Breakfast Guessing

This game is super simple and doesn’t require any props. Players simply take turns guessing what other colleagues had for breakfast that morning. To make it more interesting, the team can collectively ask up to three questions to narrow down their options. For example, they might ask if it was a cold item, or whether it was savory or sweet. Sometimes people get really creative, asking questions like “Did it come from a blender?” or “Would fancy restaurant serve this food?” Warning: this game does tend to get people thinking about food, so make sure you have a plan in place for your next snack or meal.

Backwards Goal Setting

Backwards Goal Setting

Ever wish you had a roadmap to success that's so clear it practically unfolds itself? Well, here's a twist on traditional goal-setting – the Backward Goal Setting activity. Instead of starting at square one and plotting your course forward, imagine you've already reached the pinnacle of success. What does it look like? Now, work backward to identify the steps and milestones that got you there. This technique transforms lofty long-term goals into manageable, bite-sized chunks. It's like reverse-engineering success – a strategic approach that breaks down the journey into actionable tasks, helping you pave the way to your objectives with confidence. Top Tips For Facilitators: Encourage participants to break big goals into small, manageable steps. Sometimes the big goals can get overwhelming! Plans can change, and that's okay. Let know that they need to be adaptable to unexpected shifts. Share stories of success with backward goal setting for inspiration. Perhaps an employee from a different department or an inspirational figure online!

Here’s the process for each round: Divide the group into 2 teams Come up with a question on a particular topic Poll one of the teams to find the top 5 answers to it (making sure the other team doesn’t see/hear) Assign points to each option, with the most points going to the “best” answer and the least points going to the “worst” Ask the opposite team to come up with 5 answers to that same question – with a time limit See if they choose any of the same answers and then add up the number of points they earned Repeat the process, asking numerous questions to both teams and keeping track of their points For instance, let’s say the question is, “what’s something that flies?” After polling Team A, you get 5 answers: Airplane, bird, bee, drone, and helicopter, which you say are worth 5 points, 4 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point, respectively. You then ask Team B for 5 answers to the same question. They say, “airplane, paraglider, hot air balloon, spacecraft, and birds.” Because they got two of the five options set out by Team A, they’d receive 9 points.

Squirt Gun Water Races

Squirt gun water races are an exciting alternative to traditional water fights. To play, you’ll need plastic cups (one per team of two people), string, scissors, duct tape, and enough squirt guns for every second person in the group (i.e., 10 people will need at least 5 squirt guns). Set up for the game by: Making a small hole at the bottom of each cup, close to the edge Threading a long line of string (e.g., 15 feet long) through each cup Use duct tape to suspend the string between two fixed points that are slightly closer together than the length of the string (e.g., a tree and fence about 12 feet away from each other). The cups should be facing the same direction Play the game by: Dividing into pairs and blindfolding one member of each Giving the blindfolded members a squirt gun Ensuring the cup starts at the end of the string, closest to the teams Pitting pairs against each other to see who can squirt water into their cup fastest, pushing it to the other end of the string The first pair to get their cup to the other end wins. Of course, only one member can see what’s happening! The sighted person must communicate effectively to guide their partner in the right direction. Squirt gun water races are unique, exciting, and awesome for team-building. Yet another benefit is that they’re accessible to everyone. Unlike other Field Day games for adults that involve physical activity, you only need the ability to fire a water gun!
