TWO TRUTHS AND A LIETime Required: 15-30 minutes

1. Have every team member secretly write down two truths, and one lie about themselves on a small piece of paper.

2. Allow 10 - 15 minutes of open conversation once step one has been completed. The goal is to convince people that your lie is a truth, while determining everyone else’s truths and lies.

3. After, gather in a circle and repeat your truths and lies one by one; have the group vote on which they think is the lie. This game helps to encourage better communication in the group, as well as it lets you get to know your coworkers better.

LIFE HIGHLIGHTS GAMETime Required: 30 minutes

1. Begin by asking each person to close their eyes for one minute and consider the best moments of their lives.

2. After, tell each person to take a moment and decide what 30 seconds of their life they would want to relive if they only had 30 seconds left of their lives.

3. After, the leader of the activity will ask each person to explain what their 30 seconds were.

The first part of the activity enables participants to reflect back on their lives, while the second part enables them to get a feel for each other’s passions, loves, and personalities.

MINEFIELD $10/person Teams of two will be divided among the group and navigate their way through an obstacle course. One member of the team will be blindfolded while the other verbally directs them through the course without setting off any of the “mines.” Setting one off will cause injury to the team and make the minefield more difficult to traverse.

HELIUM STICK $10/person Strategize the best way of lowering a pole to the ground by only using your fingertips. If contact is lost with the pole, the team will have to start over.

TANK COMMANDER $10/person The group will be divided into teams of two, with each taking a turn being the “tank” and being the “commander.” The tank will be blindfolded and guided through the course by the commander to gather the “grenades” which can be used to injure the other tank and commander units.
