Outplay! Amazing Race-Themed Team Building


High energy and challenging group activities bring out the best in teams. The needed planning to get things done, highlight the importance of planning and collaboration. Execution of tasks challenge team members to be quick thinking, flexible and supportive of each other. More importantly, these types of activities bring people closer together. They get to know more about each other and become more comfortable in working together. These are the objectives of this proposed program. To achieve the objectives of this activity while incorporating fun, we propose to facilitate an Amazing Race type of game that will help reinforce the desired outcomes of this event. The group will be divided into five teams and will undergo a series of challenges (to be disclosed as they unravel). The team who finishes all the challenges wins. To add more excitement, special awards or prizes can be given to the other teams. Preparation 1. Consultants and client point persons will go through the proposed route to determine viability of both route and tasks. This will also help in deciding on race details and rules. 2. Coordination of routes and tasks with external parties shall be coordinated after game rules and other matters are finalized. 3. Teams can be formed a few weeks ahead of the event. This will build excitement and heighten the participants sense of competition. Game rules shall be given in advance together with teasers that will be given a few days prior to the event, also to heighten excitement and curiosity of the participants. 4. On the day of the event, the participants will be given briefing by the workshop facilitators. Game rules will again be reiterated and questions answered to make sure that everything is clear. Race Rules 1. Teams will be expected to meet at client head office at 7:00 a.m. (or any appointed time). Teams who are able to arrive first may begin the race ahead of the others. A task will be done at the office to get the participants started. This will ensure that some teams will be leaving the office ahead of the others. 2. The game will be composed of several events to be determined during the finalization of the route www.exeqserve.com ecebreo@exeQserve.com (632)8933199 or (63918)9399294

and tasks. For each event, the participants are expected to complete a task as quickly as they can. When they finish each task, they will be asked to reflect and write down their realizations from the experience. When they are done, the point person for that activity will give them the clue to the next. All realization sheets will be collected by the facilitators and then given back to them when its time to prepare their presentation for culmination activity. 3. Just like in the TV show, there will be different game categories which will unfold each time they finish a task. The categories are; typical task; detour; roadblock and fast forward. The teams shall decide the best way of accomplishing the tasks given their limited resources.
