Teambuilding

Team building exercise The team building activities have all been developed to appeal, and be accessible for, a broad capability/skill range of delegates. Whilst each activity is designed to promote communication and leadership skills, the emphasis is very much on the fun, enjoyment and sense of achievement that is achieved by working as a team in pursuit of a common goal.

The activities that you choose are all co-ordinated and facilitated by our dedicated activities management team based at Kielder, who we will be happy to advise you to a combination that may best suit your requirements, in advance of your visit.

Team building All equipment and insurance is provided by Northumbrian Water. Due to the outdoor nature of many of our activities however, we do ask that delegates come prepared for the elements with appropriate clothing and footwear!

Choose from:

Raftbuilding - teams are given a pile of equipment to construct a raft to carry people on Kielder Water.
Pool games - a selection of water based games held in the leisure pool.
Survival game - teams are given 50 items and have to decide amongst themselves what 10 are vital for survival. A very thought/discussion provoking exercise.
Building bridges - teams are asked to build a structure of a given height using natural materials.
Diffuse the bomb - teams are given a football, two buckets, two sets of rope and a bungee cord and are asked to get the 'bomb' in the bucket using the materials provided. A test of communication and team work.
Squares - teams are given 25m of rope from which they need to make two squares, with all team members holding one corner.
Sheep and shepherd - team members are blindfolded, with the exception of the 'nominated' leader who needs to direct team members into a pen. The only communication can be by whistle.
Treasure chest - team members are blindfolded, with the exception of the 'nominated' leader who needs to direct team members to collect 'treasure' to be placed in a 'chest' using only communication by physical touch.
Orienteering - teams are given photographs taken from around the Kielder orienteering course, which need to be matched up to find clues as part of a larger puzzle.
Walk the plank - team members are asked to navigate an obstacle course all standing, as a team, on two planks of wood. A test of leadership, teamwork and communication.
Pitch a tent - teams are tasked with pitching a tent, blindfolded with the exception of the team leader and under time constraints.
Night line - teams have to navigate their way through the forest, blindfolded, identifying items tied to the rope along the way.
Fishing try it - a three hour introduction to bait fishing, all equipment and tuition supplied.
Grand Prix - this is an indoor or outdoor activity, each team has a remote control car to race round a track blindfolded.
Human overboard - the objective of this activity is for the group to tie a knot in the middle section of the rope, without releasing their ropes.
Balloon frantic - teams have to keep as many balloons as possible in the air. This game involves skill and leadership.
and many more.
