TEAM BUILDING

A good employer knows the importance of holding a team building session for its employees – it strengthens the bond between individuals and makes them inspired to work for a common cause.

Not only are there more than enough things to do for an unforgettable team building session, but the employees will certainly feel valued for being given the chance to relax and have fun in one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

NHA TRANG & DA NANG has more than enough space and facilities to host various team building activities. To guarantee a meaningful company planning and outing, scout for hotels that can offer you spacious indoor and outdoor facilities.

Here are some of the top beach team building ideas made more enjoyable in VIETNAM.

Corporate survivor

Bubble Pie Team Building Exercise

Big buckets with soapy water are filled and empty buckets with holes in the bottoms are on the opposite end of the playing field. The teams are each lined up behind the soapy bucket. The person in the first of the line receives a empty “pie tin”. When the game starts, the team has to “make” as much bubbles as possible in their bucket and fill the pie tin with bubbles. The person with the pie tin full of bubbles run to the bucket on the opposite side and dumps what's left of the "pie" in the empty bucket and runs back to the line, passing the empty pie pan to the next person in line. That person repeats the whole process, which continues until everyone in the line has had a turn. Team with the most bubbles in the bucket

The participants who do not manage to grab a flag are eliminated, the flags are reset (removing one more), and the game continues until there is one person remaining - the winner.

The goal is to finish each hole with the least number of throws, starting from a tee area and finishing at the hole. A course is 18 or 9 holes long and it is a healthy activity that is easy to learn and accessible to all fitness levels and ages.

Over and Under Team Building Exercise

Teams stand in long lines facing each other back to front. At the head of each line there a bucket of water and at the other end a plastic empty container. A sponge is given to the person at the head of the line where the water bucket is. That person has to dip the sponge in the water to soak in as much water as they can. They have to then pass the soaking wet sponge OVER THEIR HEAD to the person behind - who then passes the sponge to the person behind them THOUGH THEIR LEGS. The sponge makes its way back OVER THE HEAD of one person and BETWEEN THE LEGS of the next until it gets to the person standing next to the empty container. That person must squeeze whatever water is left into the empty container and run the sponge back up to the head of the line. When that happens, everybody moves back one position - and the person who was at the back of the line now is at the head of the line. This continues until the team has rotated – the team with most water in the container wins.

Water Balloon Dodge Ball Team Building Exercise

Each team gets a container of water balloons. Establish a row and have each team line up on opposite sides of the line facing each other.
