How many team meetings have you been to that
are just the same old thing -- boring gatherings you
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.

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.

emotion to help people see how their contributions make a difference. But clear purpose and direction—clear alignment—is a
powerful strategy in today’s changing workforce.

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."
Debbie Nance

AMN Healthcare, Inc
"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!
