Start Your Meetings Moving in the Right Direction!

 

How many team meetings have you been to that are just the same old thing -- boring gatherings youicebreakers can't wait to leave!  Here is an opportunity to make your next meeting, class, or team building event something dynamic and interesting.

 

My name is Greg Smith. I have been a professional speaker, consultant and trainer for over twenty years. In the hundreds of classes I have taught, I have learned one simple truth -- people learn quicker if you make classes and meetings fun and interesting.

As a result, I have compiled my favorite teambuilding exercises and techniques into a 77-page book. It is cram-packed with innovative ideas and exercises to make your meetings, classes, and workshops come alive and make you a HERO with your team.

 

Over 64 Ice Breakers and Team Building Activities

  • Make your classes and meetings interesting

  • School team building activities

  • Improve communication

  • Foster creativity and innovation

  • Build strong team building skills

  • Enhance cohesiveness

  • Recognize everyone's unique talent and abilities

  • Sharpen problem-solving skills

  • Save yourself time!

Make Your Team Building Training Exercises and Activities Effective and Fun!

 

Included in this book is my favorite team building game called the "Terrorist Toxic Explosive Situation." This is an easy to perform exercise for both adults or teens. The goal is to decontaminate a can of "toxic" popcorn that has been secretly placed in the room by "terrorists." Your team has 30 minutes to design a plan of action, assemble tools and equipment, transfer the material into a "safe" container before the "toxic" substance explodes. This is a great game to identify the "planners, doers, and thinkers," in your group. It also demonstrates the importance of having a good plan. It comes with instructions, a list of materials, and a debriefing questionnaire to help your team understand what went right and what went wrong. Expect a million laughs!

 

"Torpedo Weapons Loading Exercise" is another very popular activity. This is a timed exercise where individuals are placed on two teams to design and construct a device to safely catch a torpedo (egg) from an elevated tripod. The team must design, construct, and complete the mission in a specific time frame. We provide you the list of materials needed, the solution, and the instructions the team must follow to complete the task.

 

These are just two of the 64 teambuilding activities and exercises you will get from the book. There are 7 different sections within this book. All the exercises are appropriate for any age group.

Testimonials from Owners Who Love This Book!

 

"This is my go-to book for planning icebreakers for training sessions. Fun and innovative - they help to start training on a positive note and make my job easier."

"I want to thank you for your book Ice Breakers and Teambuilding Exercises. I used two of your exercises at a recent meeting. The Toilet Paper Tango was perfect! It was a great way to begin our meeting and helped set a positive tone for the rest of the two-day session.

The second day of our meeting I used The Paper and Communication Exercise to drive home the point of effective communication. It really helped the group understand the importance of seeking clarity and how to explain things in a clear fashion.

I have led many meetings in my career and always seem to be frantically searching for exactly the right exercise. This book took all that anxiety away and made for not only some great fun, but some meaningful exchanges with our participants. Again, thank you so much for sharing this incredibly valuable book with me."

This exceptional book is chock full of exciting and entertaining group building and meeting start-up exercises.  I am enjoying the wide range of ‘tried and true’ activities.  The instructions are clearly given, and they vary regarding the amount of time required.  In addition, Greg offers stimulating variations for some of the exercises to focus on specific needs.  As a business leader, this is a ‘must have’ resource for your library!
