Team building games are great teaching tools

"We'll be glad to facilitate geo-caching for your team," Hwee Li said on the phone. "Our latest teambuilding activity."

Today's workforce expects team meetings to be lively, fast-paced, innovative and participative. After more than a decade of experience with designing and conducting training, I have learned that team building games can help accomplish those objectives.

I often use games to help make a point - one that is clear and memorable. They provide a sharp contrast to "business as usual" by injecting an element of competition, cooperation and fun into team meetings.
