Rebecca 0 #1 November 19, 2004 Hey guys, My boss is soliciting ideas for an activity day for our team. It doesn't have to be like a professional team-building obstacle course or anything, in fact I'm suggesting bowling or skydiving. Anything else come to mind? you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unformed 0 #4 November 19, 2004 Almost any team competition thing is good. We play basketball at work 2-3 days a week during lunch. Something like softball or kickball would be good also for a large number of people.This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanillaSkyGirl 6 #5 November 19, 2004 Take them to a rock-climbing gym. My old climbing gym does that kind of thing with companies all the time! I hear that it's a fun way for them to build trust and work together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Rebecca 0 #6 November 19, 2004 Ooh volleyball sounds good! Keep 'em coming! Um, cubicle hurdling would be exhilarating, except we're going out of the office... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
