Corporate Charades and Office Pictionary
Traditional games we all know and love that are custom tailored to your specific company or department. The Team Building Program Manager will work with you prior to the event to determine 10 words that pertain specifically to your group. The group will be organized into teams and then stationed in different areas or rooms. The first person from each team comes to the facilitator for the first word challenge. The first person then returns to the team and acts or draws it out until their team guesses the word. The next person then goes to the facilitator for the next word and so on. The first team to guess all the words wins!
