On August 5th, we (two teams) went to Antipolo, Rizal in Phillip's Sanctuary to have a team building activity. The team building was not the usual eat, drink, get-to-know but was full of activities. We arrived around 8 AM at the activity area. The area is spacious. There are different kinds of plants - fruit-bearing. They have durian, rambutan and many others. Our facilitator explained the rules and regulations. The games are more of military acitivities. We started with an opening prayer, I opened the activity with the prayer. Then followed by the activities. Initially, we divided ourselves into 4 groups. But the facilitator thought it was better to have just two teams. So, we were two teams of 10 players each. The activities were as follows: -team cheer -picture me Physical Activities -centipede race -unity walk -flipping tires -10-feet wall climb -rope -spider web -log balance -rafting -tightrope -mud crawl -mud slide These are physically exhausting games. And we were challenged by these set of activities. Needless to say, we got what have expected from the activities - friendship and unity. Awarding ceremony.

Yay. I remember those times when we had our team building. So much to do under the sun. It is not just about food but how you know yourself and the team you have.

Exactly. The food is always there but the talks about what you have accomplished as a team is more important.

You must be young and in in excellent shape to be able to do all those activities. Am I right or wrong?

It was fun but exhausting. My first time to do such activities. The last time I crawled on mud when I was a little kid.

I remember when we did something similar when I was a student. We had a few days a year, we all went for outdoors activities together. It was so nice to enjoy the outdoors.

Yes it does Valerie. @just4him It was very exhausting - all but the one I had difficulty with was the log balance. I fell in the water.

You had an amazing time. I so love team building activities too. It helps me to get to know about my colleagues better. Team building also teaches us how a team can effectively work together to achieve a common goal. It is also a fun activity.
