Team building is a collective term for various types of activities used to enhance social relations and define roles within teams, often involving collaborative tasks. It is distinct from team training, which is designed to improve the efficiency, rather than interpersonal relations. Many team-building exercises aim to expose and address interpersonal problems within the group.

Below you can find the list of team-building activities created collectively by the users of YEDU on-line course. If you know an interesting team -building activity and you would like to share it with others, feel free to edit the page and add your idea at the bottom.

The purpose of this exercise is for the whole group to pass over the fence without making contact with the fence wire. There are two variants to this exercise - basic and advanced. Both of these two variants are excellent for perfecting working together and relying on each other.

Required Resources: Basic: Rope, shoelaces or any type of pole Advanced: 2 x ropes, 2 x plastic drums, 4 x plastic fencing stakes and a ladder.

Total Time: 40 minutes (briefing, setup, the challenge, debrief)

Tie a rope 5-10ft in length between two trees. This will be your electric fence line. You can also use a pole and balance it between two objects such as tables or chairs (just make sure you weigh it down to prevent it from rolling off when knocked). The rope should be tied tightly. The height should be the same as the tallest participant in your group. The higher the rope, the harder the challenge, so adapt the height to suit the age and ability of your group.

Get the group to stand on one side of the rope. Introduce the electric fence and explain that all team members are required to cross the fence without touching it. If they do touch the fence, the entire team will restart the challenge and return back to the start point. Teams may be disqualified if they attempt to go under or around. Fast movement like jumping or diving underneath is not allowed.
